Scribenote is an AI scribe for veterinary clinics that records appointments and calls, transcribes the conversation, and automatically generates clinical notes.
Brain Dump: Voice to Markdown is a voice-first note-taking app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that captures spoken thoughts and transcribes them into editable text. Transcription runs on-device using Apple's speech engine, so it works offline and audio never leaves the device. Each note is stored as a standard plain-text or Markdown (.md) file synced through iCloud, which lets it work with Obsidian, iA Writer, and other text editors rather than locking notes inside a proprietary cloud. The app supports background recording, silence detection, and Siri shortcuts for hands-free capture, and it can transcribe Apple Voice Memos or other local audio and video files. An optional paid AI tier adds cleanup, summaries, and action-item extraction, plus template-based rewriting. Core recording, transcription, editing, iCloud sync, Siri, and offline mode are free. It is aimed at journalers, Obsidian users, and people capturing meeting notes, ideas, or quick thoughts when speaking is faster than typing. Developed by Saravanan Pitchaimani; listed in the App Store Productivity category.

Scribenote is a veterinary-specific AI scribe that automates clinical documentation. Veterinary professionals record appointments, client callbacks, phone calls, and other conversations on a phone, tablet, or computer, and Scribenote transcribes the audio and generates structured medical records such as SOAP notes. Notes can be produced in two clicks using adaptive templates or a template library, and the tool can also generate client discharge summaries from the records. ScribePhone lets users place client calls directly within Scribenote and automatically produce notes from them. The platform integrates with veterinary practice management systems (PIMS): a Widget Mode works with systems such as Avimark, Cornerstone, ezyVet, and Covetrus Pulse, while PIMSPal supports Covetrus Pulse and ezyVet. Teams Mode supports collaboration, record transfer, and shared templates across a clinic. Scribenote is SOC 2 Type II certified. It is built for solo veterinarians, clinics, and multi-clinic groups that want to reduce time spent on documentation and focus on patient care.
