Scribular

Introduction to Scribular

Scribular is a privacy-first AI note-taking app designed specifically for therapists. It allows users to transcribe therapy sessions and generate structured insurance notes in minutes, all while keeping client data entirely on the user's device. This means no cloud uploads, no third-party servers, and no risk of data exposure. The app leverages local transcription via whisper.cpp and bundled LLMs through Ollama, offering a seamless, zero-setup experience.

Therapists often struggle with time-consuming documentation tasks that take away from their ability to focus on client care. With Scribular, they can reclaim their evenings by automating the note-taking process. Client sessions never leave the computer, ensuring complete control over sensitive information. The app supports multiple video conferencing platforms and provides customizable summaries that are ready to be transferred directly into an EHR system.

• Structured EHR-ready notes: Professionally formatted and customizable
• No setup required: Easy to use right out of the box
• Encrypted notes: Secure storage and deletion options

How Scribular Works

Scribular captures audio from video calls and uses local transcription technology (whisper.cpp) to convert it into text. It then applies a bundled language model (via Ollama) to generate structured therapy notes. These notes are fully customizable and can be adjusted to fit the therapist's specific needs. All processing occurs on the user's device, ensuring that no data is sent to external servers or stored in the cloud.

Core Benefits and Applications

Different By Design

Scribular stands apart from other note-taking apps by operating entirely on the user's device. Unlike cloud-based tools, there is no risk of data breaches, unauthorized access, or compliance issues. The app is HIPAA-compliant by design, as it never handles client data in the first place. It is also built by an independent team focused on privacy, simplicity, and long-term sustainability rather than growth or engagement metrics.
