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.
QCue
Read full descriptionHide full description
QCue is a capture-first "second brain." Catch a fleeting thought the instant it appears — by typing or by voice — and let an AI you choose and control distill your notes into a private, interlinked markdown wiki. • Capture in one tap. Text or dictation, online or offline — nothing is ever lost. • Your AI, your key. Connect your own provider key (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and more). Your notes are processed only by the provider you choose. • A wiki that builds itself. Ideas become linked pages you can recall and search. • Offline-first. Captures are saved on-device first and sync when you're back online. • Private by design. No ads, no third-party tracking, encrypted storage, and each account's data is isolated. Delete content or your whole account anytime. QCue is "bring your own key" — an active API key from a supported AI provider is required to use the AI features.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QCue at none against OneScribe's 2. QCue also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
