Verba on iPhone: a conversation with its audio player and summary.

Verba on Apple Watch: a recording in progress, with the button to mark a moment.

In the field, today

Your hands are full

Camera, tape measure, floor plan: it’s hard to write while you observe.

Photos without captions

Back at the office, you have to match each photo to the room and the observation that goes with it.

Writing from scratch

Notes taken standing up have to be deciphered and put back in order before you can draft.

With Verba

Your observations and photos, in the order of the visit.

Dictate your observations

Describe what you see, room by room: Verba transcribes on the device, in the order of the visit.

Photos attached to the visit

Take photos from Verba or import them; photos taken with the device during the recording are suggested to you.

Text recognized in photos

Plate, meter, notice, document: Verba recognizes the text visible in your photos.

Marked moments ★

On your wrist, Double Tap marks a moment: a statement, or an observation to come back to first.

Notes in your format

With one instruction, the notes follow your outline: people present, observations, statements, points to check.

Everything stays with you

No account, on-device transcription, sync through your own iCloud, automatic deletion if you want it.

Sample summary

What you get when you walk out.

A made-up example: names, places and figures are fictional. The real content depends on what’s said in your meeting and on your instructions.

Your format, in one instruction

One instruction, and every summary follows your template.

Copy this text, then paste it into Verba, in Settings › Custom Instructions.

Write field notes: date, start and end times, address, people present and their capacity, then observations room by room in the order of the visit, statements in quotation marks attributed to the person who made them, the list of photos taken and points to check. Stay strictly descriptive, with no interpretation or conclusion.

Privacy and legal

Verba doesn’t replace an official report or any legal document you issue. Its notes and summaries have no legal value on their own: they help you prepare a document that only you draw up and sign.

Tell the people present before recording what they say. The summary is written by an AI model and can contain mistakes: check every observation before using it.

On-device transcription by default, no account, sync through your own iCloud. For the summary, use your own API key or your office’s OpenAI-compatible server if you’d rather not go through Verba.

Frequently asked questions

Do Verba’s notes count as an official report?

No. Only the document you issue has legal value. The recording, transcript, photos and summary are working drafts.

Huissier or commissaire de justice?

In France, since 1 July 2022, huissiers de justice and commissaires-priseurs judiciaires form a single profession: commissaires de justice. This page is for you whichever title you use.

Are photos linked to the visit?

Yes. Photos taken in Verba or imported are attached to the conversation, and Verba suggests the ones taken with the device during the recording. Text visible in the photos is recognized.

Do I need a connection on site?

Recording works without a connection, and so does on-device transcription once the language is available on the device (it may need a download the first time). Writing the summary needs a connection, to reach the model you chose.

Do my recordings leave my phone?

The audio stays on your devices and in your iCloud, and transcription happens on the device by default. To write the summary, the transcript text is sent to the model you chose: Mistral, a European model, by default, through the Verba API and OpenRouter, and Verba doesn’t store it. With your own key or your office’s server, it doesn’t go through Verba.
