Your documents have stories. Now you can hear them. OneScribe turns every receipt, contract, ID, and letter you scan into something you can actually use — read, understood, searched, and exported. All of it happens on your iPhone. NEW — TALK TO YOUR DOCUMENTS Ask a question out loud and hear the answer back. Voice conversation runs entirely on your device: on-device speech recognition, on-device AI, on-device speech synthesis. Ask "when does this warranty run out?" while you're still holding the box. WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES Scan with the camera or import from Files. OneScribe reads the page, works out what it is, and builds a Data Card designed for that specific document. Receipt? Every line item, tax, tip, and total. Contract? Deadlines, renewal windows, and the clauses worth a second look. Prescription? Dosage, refills, and the prescriber. Boarding pass, W-2, wine label, lab result, lease, vehicle title — 83 Data Cards across 70+ document types. Not a wall of OCR text. Structured information you can search, sort, and act on. PRIVACY IS THE ARCHITECTURE, NOT A SETTING Every other scanner uploads your documents to understand them. Your tax returns, your medical records, your contracts — sitting on somebody else's hardware. OneScribe runs its AI on your iPhone through Apple Foundation Models. There's no account to create. We never see your documents. Your library syncs across your devices through your own iCloud — to you, never to us. BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY WORK • Ask your whole library questions in plain English • Chat with any document in any of 7 personas, from Just the Facts to Deep Dive • A daily briefing that surfaces what needs attention before you go looking • Proactive alerts before warranties lapse, returns close, and documents expire • 19 smart export modes — Calendar, Contacts, PDF, CSV, tax package, expense report, property binder • 14 Siri shortcuts, so you can ask without opening the app • Natural-language search across everything you have ever scanned MADE FOR THIS iPHONE iOS 26 exclusive. Liquid Glass throughout. Scan something. Then ask it a question.
