ScribeZero records, transcribes, and summarizes your most confidential meetings and sessions — with AI that runs entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No servers. No third-party AI. Your words never leave your device. Most "AI notetakers" stream your audio to the cloud. ScribeZero does the opposite: every step — recording, transcription, speaker separation, and summary — happens on-device. It even works in airplane mode. FOR CLINICIANS Turn each session into structured documentation in seconds: • Automatic SOAP notes • Clinical observations and follow-up tasks • Full session transcript with speaker separation • Export to SOAP Note and Clinical Observation templates Because nothing is uploaded, there is no PHI in the cloud to protect. FOR TEAMS & EXECUTIVES Capture every decision and commitment from sensitive meetings: • Concise executive summaries • Automatic decision extraction • Action items with assignees • Speaker identification — who said what • Export to Executive Brief, Project Sync, and Cornell templates PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • 100% on-device AI — no audio or text is ever uploaded • AES-256 encryption at rest, with the key bound to your device • No third-party AI APIs, no ad tracking, no data brokers • Optional backup goes only to your own private iCloud HOW IT WORKS 1. Record any meeting or session. 2. ScribeZero transcribes and separates speakers on-device. 3. Generate a summary or clinical note in seconds. 4. Review, edit, and export a polished PDF. FREE & PRO Start free with unlimited recording, on-device transcription, speaker identification, and one AI analysis. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited AI summaries and notes, all export templates, transcript correction, and private iCloud backup. Pro is a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; it renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. AI analysis (summaries and SOAP notes) requires iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 14, or newer. Recording, transcription, and speaker identification work on all supported devices.
