Question 1

Is there a medical dictation app that works offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NeoDoc runs 100% on your iPhone — speech-to-text, AI note generation, and image analysis all happen on-device. It works with no signal at all: hospital basements, rural clinics, even airplane mode. After the one-time model download during setup, no internet connection is needed.

Question 2

Does NeoDoc send patient data to the cloud?

Accepted Answer

No. Patient audio, transcripts, and notes are processed on your iPhone and never leave it. There is no cloud component — nothing is uploaded and no server ever holds your patients' information.

Question 3

Which iPhones can run the AI notes?

Accepted Answer

AI note generation needs an iPhone with 8 GB of RAM — an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, or any iPhone 16. It runs best on 12 GB iPhones like the iPhone 17 Pro. Older iPhones still get fast live dictation typed straight into any EMR — just not AI note-writing. NeoDoc picks the right mode automatically.

Question 4

How is NeoDoc different from Dragon Medical or Doximity?

Accepted Answer

Three ways. It's on-device: cloud scribes send patient audio to remote servers, NeoDoc never does. It has no subscription: free during beta, with a one-time Pro unlock planned — never a monthly bill. And it's EMR-agnostic: SafeKey types your finished note into any EMR on any computer, with no integration or IT project.

Question 5

Is the AI-generated note checked for errors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every generated note passes through deterministic safety gates plus an on-device AI fact-checker that verify it against what you actually dictated. Anything unsupported is flagged for your review — never auto-charted. You always review, edit, and own the final note.

Question 6

How much does NeoDoc cost?

Accepted Answer

It's free during the TestFlight beta, and beta testers keep it free for life. There will never be a subscription — the plan after beta is a simple one-time Pro unlock.

Question 7

How does SafeKey type into a desktop or Citrix EMR?

Accepted Answer

For web EMRs that run in Chrome, the free SafeKey browser extension receives your note over an end-to-end encrypted channel (AES-256-GCM with ECDH pairing) and types it into the field you're working in. For locked-down desktop or Citrix EMRs, the optional SafeKey USB key plugs in and is recognized as a standard keyboard — your iPhone sends the note over encrypted Bluetooth and the key types it in keystroke-by-keystroke. No software install on the hospital computer.

Question 8

Can NeoDoc analyze photos or X-rays?

Accepted Answer

It can describe a photo — an X-ray, a skin finding, a wound — entirely on-device, as an assistive description to support your documentation. It is not a diagnostic tool, it is not for EKGs, and the image never leaves your phone.

Question 9

What is Encounter mode?

Accepted Answer

Encounter is a beta feature that records the visit and gives you a transcript to dictate from. On 12 GB iPhones with Voice ID set up, NeoDoc drafts a SOAP note from the encounter automatically — on-device, with you reviewing every word.

Question 10

How does NeoDoc improve over time?

Accepted Answer

Through a local-first feedback loop. If you thumbs-down a note, the de-identified correction is logged on your device — and only shared with the development team if you choose to export it. Nothing is sent automatically.
