Read full descriptionHide full description
INFOBRIDGE is an app for handling text from speech, documents, images, and manual input on iPhone, then transferring it to PCs or isolated environments using QR codes. You can use speech recognition, OCR, and Live Text input to capture, save, edit, and review text. Multilingual text can be converted into a format designed to reduce character corruption with standard QR scanners, and restored with INFOBRIDGE Reader when needed. INFOBRIDGE Reader is a free tool for restoring QR data generated by INFOBRIDGE on a PC. Its source code is publicly available, allowing IT administrators and security teams to review it before deployment. Key features: ・Convert speech input, audio files, scanned documents, and images into text ・Save, edit, and review OCR results and text ・QR transfer for multilingual text ・Secret QR transfer using AES-256-GCM ・PC-side restoration with the free and source-available INFOBRIDGE Reader ・AI Lab features that help detect and mask personal information ・Sharing policy control using administrator Setup QR ・Designed with offline operation in mind INFOBRIDGE is more than a simple note app. It is an information transfer tool that brings together the flow of capturing, reviewing, protecting, and transferring information to isolated environments.When handling confidential information, you can use features such as encrypted transfer with Secret QR, on-device processing, encrypted stored data, and administrator QR lock. INFOBRIDGE and INFOBRIDGE Reader are designed with careful attention to safety, but they do not guarantee complete security or compatibility in every environment, device, or operational condition. When using INFOBRIDGE in managed environments such as medical institutions, companies, research organizations, or government agencies, please follow your organization’s rules and perform the necessary checks and validation in advance.
SoapVox

Turn your post-counseling reflection into a SOAP-format medication note — just by speaking. SoapVox converts a pharmacist's own spoken dictation into a SOAP-structured medication record. By default, recording, transcription, and SOAP organization all run on-device. Your audio recording never leaves the device, and nothing is sent to the developer's servers or to third-party AI services such as OpenAI. Only when you turn on High Accuracy mode are the transcript and generation instructions processed on Apple's Private Cloud Compute. Dictate your reflection in a private area where no other patient or third party can overhear — inside the pharmacy counter, the dispensary, a staff room, or at your desk. [Where it helps] - A quick reflection right after counseling at the pharmacy counter - Dictating observations in the staff room after ward rounds - An end-of-day summary of the day's cases - Reflective learning from cases you experienced [Main features] - Dictation recording in your own voice (up to 5 minutes per session; up to 30 minutes when High Accuracy mode is on and available) - On-device AI transcription - On-device AI SOAP note organization - Optional High Accuracy mode: when you turn it on, SOAP drafts are generated on Apple's Private Cloud Compute (iOS 27 or later) - Pro: generation after you close the app (more likely to finish while charging; on battery, some drafts may be completed the next time you open the app) - Pro: QR code transfer — show a SOAP note as QR codes that your facility's QR reader can scan into a hospital terminal (not an integration with electronic medication-record systems). Switch between Shift_JIS and UTF-8; long notes are split into numbered codes. Free users can try the screen with a sample note to check whether their reader works - Automatic correction of pharmaceutical terms - Custom SOAP templates - Dynamic Island / Lock Screen widget support - Siri Shortcuts support - VoiceOver / Dynamic Type support [Privacy and safety] - On-device processing by default (audio never leaves the device) - AES-GCM encryption for records with the personal information flag on (on by default; keys protected by the iOS Keychain) - By default, SOAP text and recording metadata are not sent externally. Only when you turn on High Accuracy mode are the transcript and generation instructions processed on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, with your consent - Biometric access control (Face ID / Touch ID) - Your records stay on the device until you delete them [Before you use it] - This app is not a medical device. It is a documentation aid for medication-record work. - AI-generated results are reference information; final review and approval rest with the pharmacist. - Record only in a private area where no other patient or third party can overhear. Choosing the recording location is the user's responsibility. - This app is intended for recording your own spoken reflections. Recording that includes a patient's voice is not part of the app's default behavior.
