Which Scribe0 is right for you?
Every version turns your consult into a clinical note. They differ in where the audio is processed, how private the note drafting is, and how you work. Three questions get you to the right one.
Lens 1
Web vs on-device
The biggest choice — convenience versus privacy.
Choose Web when
- You want zero install — try it instantly in a browser.
- You're on a locked-down or shared clinic machine.
- You move between devices and want notes synced to an account.
- Connectivity is reliable.
Choose an on-device app when
- Patient audio must never leave the device.
- You need it to keep working offline.
- You don't want a per-use transcription cost.
- Data residency matters (e.g. AU clinical records).
Web transcribes with AssemblyAI — a strong cloud model, but processed offshore (US) at a per-use cost. On-device uses Parakeet, which is near state-of-the-art for English on desktop (0.6B); the iPhone build (110M) trades a little accuracy for size.
Lens 2
Apple vs everything else
Only Apple devices can keep the whole pipeline on-device.
macOS & iOS
- Transcription on the Apple Neural Engine.
- Note drafting can run on Apple's on-device model — no network.
- macOS adds on-device PII redaction before any cloud call.
- Result: nothing has to leave the device, not even the text.
Windows & Android
- Transcription is still fully on-device.
- But note drafting sends the transcript text to a cloud LLM.
- No on-device redaction layer.
- Sovereign AU (Bedrock) is the cloud option, not local.
macOS is the privacy flagship — the only app that redacts PII on-device and can draft notes entirely offline.
Lens 3
Desktop vs mobile
Where and how you work.
Desktop — macOS & Windows
- Runs the full Parakeet 0.6B model.
- Context loading: paste reference text from the browser.
- A big editing surface and (planned) global hotkey.
- Import existing audio files to transcribe.
Mobile — iOS & Android
- With you at the bedside, dictate from your pocket.
- Share the finished note straight into other apps.
- Import voice memos (iOS).
- Android phones also run the full 0.6B; only iPhone uses 110M.
The real model split isn't desktop vs mobile — it's iOS (110M) vs everything else (0.6B).
