Physicians Lose 86 Minutes Every Night to Charting. Your Phone Can Fix That.

The average family physician spends 86 minutes charting after hours, what clinicians call “pajama time.” Nearly half your workday goes to EHR documentation instead of patient care. VoiceboxMD’s mobile medical dictation app puts that time back in your hands. Dictate patient notes from your iPhone between exam rooms, during hospital rounds, or from home. AI-powered medical speech recognition delivers 99% accuracy across 100,000+ clinical terms, then structures everything into formatted SOAP notes ready for your EHR.

How Mobile Dictation Works

From voice memo to signed chart in under 90 seconds, no laptop required

1

Tap & Speak

Open the VB Virtual Scribe app on your iPhone. Tap the microphone and start speaking naturally, between patients, during rounds, or from your couch.

2

AI Structures Your Note

Medical-grade AI processes your dictation, recognizes drug names, ICD-10 codes, and clinical terminology, then formats everything into a structured SOAP note automatically.

3

Review & Edit

Review the AI-generated note on your phone. Make any quick edits. The note is formatted with proper HPI, ROS, Assessment & Plan, ready for your signature.

4

Export to Your EHR

Export the completed note as a PDF or paste it directly into Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, Meditech, or any EHR system. Your chart is done before the next patient walks in.

Built for Clinicians Who Don't Sit at a Desk All Day

Every feature on the VoiceboxMD mobile app exists because a physician asked for it

AI Ambient Scribe

Record the patient encounter naturally. VoiceboxMD's ambient AI scribe listens, comprehends medical context, and generates a complete clinical note, no dictation commands needed. Available on Power and Premium plans.

Real-Time Speech-to-Text

Active dictation that converts your voice to text instantly with 99% accuracy across 100,000+ medical terms. Drug names, procedures, anatomy, spelled correctly the first time, every time.

Auto-Formatted SOAP Notes

Stop manually structuring notes. AI recognizes the clinical context of your dictation and organizes it into proper SOAP format, Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan, automatically.

Mobile-to-Desktop Cloud Sync

Dictate on your iPhone between exam rooms. By the time you sit down at your workstation, the note is waiting, transcribed, formatted, and ready to paste into your EHR. Everything syncs via encrypted cloud.

Patient Profile Tracking

The VB Virtual Scribe app maintains a profile-at-a-glance for each patient encounter. Calendar-based history lets you quickly reference previous visits, notes, and clinical context from your phone.

PDF Export for Any EHR

Generate polished PDF documents from any mobile dictation. Export directly into Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, Meditech, Practice Fusion, or any other EHR. No IT integration or marketplace installation required.

Custom Voice Commands & Macros

Create custom phrases, templates, and voice-activated macros for documentation shortcuts you use every day. Insert entire review-of-systems templates or counseling language with a single spoken command.

Self-Learning AI Engine

VoiceboxMD's machine learning adapts to your voice, accent, speaking pace, and specialty vocabulary over time. The more you use it, the more accurate it becomes, building a personalized clinical language model.

Six Ways Physicians Use Mobile Dictation

The documentation doesn't stop when you leave your desk, and now, neither does the solution

🏠 Eliminate Pajama-Time Charting

Family physicians average 86 minutes of nightly charting at home. Open VoiceboxMD on your phone, dictate the notes you couldn’t finish at clinic, and get your evenings back. Charts completed. Pajamas optional.

🚶 Dictate Between Exam Rooms

That 45-second walk between patients is wasted time, unless you’re dictating. Capture your assessment and plan while the encounter is fresh. By the time you open the next chart, the previous note is done.

🏥 Hospital Rounding Made Faster

Hospitalists rounding on 15–25 patients can’t hunt for workstations between rooms. Pull out your iPhone, dictate the progress note at bedside, and move on. The AI formats it while you’re seeing the next patient.

🔪 Immediate Post-Op Notes

Surgical details fade fast. Dictate operative reports and post-procedure notes immediately after stepping out of the OR while every detail is still crisp. VoiceboxMD handles the surgical terminology, you just talk.

📹 Telehealth Documentation

Maintain eye contact during video visits instead of typing. VoiceboxMD’s ambient scribe captures the clinical conversation and generates the note in the background. Your patient gets your full attention.

🔄 Multi-Site Portability

Locum tenens and multi-hospital physicians need tools that travel with them. VoiceboxMD works across every site and every EHR, same app, same accuracy, zero IT setup at each location.

Mobile dictation converts your spoken words directly into text in real-time, you speak, the words appear. It’s active and intentional. An AI medical scribe is passive: it listens to the entire doctor-patient conversation in the background and automatically generates a structured clinical note afterward. VoiceboxMD offers both capabilities. Real-time dictation is included in all plans starting at $49/month. The AI ambient scribe is available on the Power ($79/month) and Premium ($139/month) plans.

Yes. The VB Virtual Scribe mobile app generates clinical notes that can be exported as PDFs and imported into any EHR system including Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, Kareo, Meditech, NextGen, and others. On desktop, VoiceboxMD uses intelligent cursor positioning to dictate directly into any EHR text field, no API integration, no IT department involvement, and no marketplace installation required.

When you dictate or record a patient encounter on your iPhone, VoiceboxMD processes the audio through its medical AI engine and generates a formatted clinical note. That note syncs automatically to your VoiceboxMD desktop app via encrypted cloud. By the time you sit down at your workstation, the transcribed and structured note is waiting, ready to review, edit, and paste into your EHR. All data is encrypted end-to-end throughout the sync process.

Dragon Medical One’s mobile option (PowerMic Mobile) turns your iPhone into a wireless microphone for Dragon running on a Windows PC, it does not work as a standalone mobile dictation app and does not support Mac. VoiceboxMD’s VB Virtual Scribe is a full standalone iOS app with AI-powered transcription, ambient scribe, and SOAP note generation that works independently of your desktop. VoiceboxMD starts at $49/month with BAA included; Dragon starts at $99+/month with additional fees for HIPAA compliance documentation and DAX ambient scribe ($500+/month).

VoiceboxMD supports all medical and dental specialties with a vocabulary of 100,000+ clinical terms. The AI engine is trained across primary care, internal medicine, family medicine, cardiology, orthopedics, neurology, psychiatry, dermatology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, emergency medicine, surgery, pediatrics, OB/GYN, dentistry, and many more. The self-learning AI adapts to your specific specialty terminology, accent, and speaking patterns over time.

No. VoiceboxMD works with your iPhone’s built-in microphone with excellent accuracy in most clinical environments. Wireless earbuds (AirPods, etc.) also work well and can improve clarity in noisier settings. For high-noise environments like emergency departments or busy surgical suites, a dedicated Bluetooth headset will provide the best results. No special hardware purchase is required to get started.

Yes. VoiceboxMD offers a free trial with full access to all features, 7 days for monthly plans or 14 days for annual plans. You can test the mobile dictation, AI ambient scribe, SOAP note generation, and desktop sync with your actual clinical workflow before committing. Annual billing saves up to 8% compared to monthly plans. All plans include live support, free updates, and no setup fees.

For a provider seeing 20 patients daily over 250 clinical days, that translates to 1,250+ hours saved per year. Many physicians report completing all charts before leaving the office, eliminating the nightly pajama-time charting sessions that contribute to burnout and erode personal time.
