Frequently Asked Questions
The MedXcribe iPhone app
What is MedXcribe?
MedXcribe is a medical scribe app for iPhone. It records consultations and dictations, transcribes them on the device with a speech model fine-tuned for medical vocabulary, and arranges the transcript into a SOAP note (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) that you can review, edit and export.
Does MedXcribe work offline?
Yes. Transcription runs entirely on your iPhone, so it works with no internet connection at all. You only need to be online to download the app and to make a purchase through the App Store.
Is there a web app or an Android version?
No. MedXcribe is available only as an iPhone app. It also runs on iPad and on Apple silicon Macs. Download Transcription App for iPhone.
How accurate is it with medical terminology?
MedXcribe uses a Whisper speech model that has been fine-tuned on medical audio, so it recognises drug names, diagnoses, procedures and anatomical terms that general dictation tools often get wrong. Clear audio and a good microphone position improve results further. Always review the transcript before using it in a patient record.
What can I transcribe?
Consultations, voice dictations, patient notes, ward-round summaries and lectures. The app is optimised for clear, conversational speech and short dictations, and transcripts are timestamped so you can jump back to any point in the recording.
What are SOAP notes and do I have to use them?
SOAP is the standard structure for clinical notes: Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan. MedXcribe files what you said under each heading automatically. You can edit the note freely, or just use the plain transcript.
Is patient information secure?
Recordings, transcripts and notes are stored only on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us, there are no accounts and no cloud processing. Data leaves the phone only when you choose to export or share it. See our privacy policy for details.
How much does MedXcribe cost?
The app is free to download and your first 25 recordings are free. After that, the Unlimited Transcriptions subscription costs US$7.99 per month (₹799 in India), billed through the Apple App Store and cancellable at any time in your Apple ID settings.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later, Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 13 or later, and Apple Vision Pro. The app download is large (around 650 MB) because the speech model is stored on the device, which is what makes offline transcription possible.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for. Install the app and start recording.
Which languages does it support?
English. More languages may be added in future updates.
Can I export my transcripts and notes?
Yes. Transcripts and SOAP notes can be exported and shared from the app so you can move them into your records system or send them wherever they are needed.
How do I get help?
Email medxcribe@gmail.com and include your iPhone model and iOS version. Subscription and refund questions are handled by Apple through your Apple ID account.
