What happens in the room
You open ScribeFox, pick a folder, and start. The microphone stays with the meeting. Live captions run on the phone while people talk. You can mark a chapter when the subject changes, snap a photo of the whiteboard, or add a person who is in the room.
When you stop, the transcript and the notes stay on that iPhone. Apple Intelligence writes the notes on the device when it is available. If it is not, you can connect your own OpenAI or Claude key. ScribeFox then sends the transcript, not the recording, and that provider bills your account.
Later, the library is the record of the meeting: the briefing, the outline, the transcript, the people, and the place. You can search it, ask a question about it, or read a section aloud.
Optional
ScribeFox Remote
A meeting that is only in the room does not need Remote. Leave it off. The iPhone microphone is the recording.
Use it when the other people are on a call playing through a computer. The phone, sitting on the table, hears the room. It does not hear the call the way the laptop does. Remote, on that computer and on the same network, sends the computer’s meeting audio to the iPhone and mixes it into the same recording.
That is why the live captions can show the call, not only the voices in the room, and why one transcript covers both. When that call audio stops, ScribeFox can suggest ending the recording. You confirm or snooze.
Turn on Desktop audio in Settings. Each recording shows a short code so the computer can connect. After the first time, the phone remembers that computer. Remote never replaces the microphone, and nothing about it is sent to a ScribeFox server.
