An ambient AI medical scribe that listens to patient-provider conversations and turns them into draft 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.

Sunoh.ai is an ambient AI medical scribe, developed in partnership with eClinicalWorks, that listens to natural conversations between a clinician and patient and converts them into clinical documentation. Using ambient listening, it captures the spoken encounter, generates a dialogue transcript, and produces a draft SOAP-style progress note, while also surfacing labs, imaging, medication orders, referrals, and follow-up details for review. It handles multiple speakers and several languages, including English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and is designed to support both primary care and specialty visits. Sunoh is fully integrated with eClinicalWorks, eClinicalTouch, and eClinicalMobile for direct import into the progress note and order pre-fill, and takes an EHR-agnostic approach so providers on other systems can use it as well. It works on iOS and Android smartphones, iPads, and desktop without requiring special microphones or hardware, letting clinicians start on one device and continue on another. It is aimed at physicians and healthcare practices seeking to reduce documentation time.
