Stop reconstructing experiments from memory.
Capture observations by voice at the bench and turn them into clean, timestamped, ELN-ready drafts before you leave the lab.

What is Verbex?
- What it is: Verbex is a private, on-device voice lab notebook for bench scientists — speak your experiments while you work and Verbex turns them into ELN-ready records, entirely on your iPhone.
- Who it is for: bench scientists — wet lab researchers, chemistry and biology labs, graduate students and postdocs, clinical research coordinators, quality control scientists, and field researchers.
- What it costs: Verbex is free to download on the iOS App Store.
- Platform: iPhone (iOS). Transcription and AI formatting run on-device — no account, no cloud, no data leaves the phone.
- What it is not: Verbex is an ELN companion, not an ELN replacement. You capture and format notes in Verbex, then export them as PDF or Markdown into your existing ELN workflow.

The Problem
You Document Too Late
Most scientists write up their notes hours or days after the experiment. Details slip away. The record becomes a reconstruction, not a capture.
Your Hands Are Full
Pipetting, mixing, handling samples — you can't stop to type. Real-time observations go unrecorded because there's no way to capture them without putting things down.
Chronology Gets Lost
When you document from memory, timestamps disappear. You lose the sequence of what happened when — and that chronology matters for reproducibility and IP.
See It in Action
Watch the demo — voice capture to ELN-ready notes.
How It Works — Three steps. Zero typing.
1. Choose a Section
Tap a section pill — Objective, Materials, Procedure, Observations, or your own custom section. You decide where your notes go. The AI never chooses for you.
2. Speak Your Notes
Hit record and narrate while you work. Add to any section at any time, in any order. Every word is transcribed on-device with a timestamp.
3. Review & Export
Tap "Review and Complete" — AI polishes your raw transcription into clean, structured text. Read it, edit if needed, then export as PDF or Markdown.
Privacy — Your data. Your device. Period.
No accounts. No servers. No data collection. Your experiments are yours.
Voice Recognition
Transcription runs entirely on your device. No audio is ever recorded, uploaded, or transmitted anywhere.
Intelligent Formatting
AI text processing happens on-device. Your experiment data never touches a server — not even ours.
Local Storage Only
All experiments live on your device. No cloud sync, no external databases, no third-party access.
Built for the Bench — Practical tools, not feature bloat.
Timestamped Capture
Every voice note records the exact time you spoke it. Your notes carry a real chronology — when each observation was made, not when you wrote it up.
Lab Timers
Set incubation, reaction, or centrifuge timers inside Verbex. When a timer completes, the duration is auto-logged into your experiment notes.
Photo Capture
Snap photos of gels, plates, or equipment setups and attach them directly to your experiment. Visual context alongside your voice notes.
Custom Sections
Add your own section types beyond the defaults. If your workflow needs a "Deviations" or "Safety Notes" section, create it.
PDF & Markdown Export
Export your formatted notes as PDF or Markdown. Bring them into your existing ELN, share with your PI, or archive for your records.
Face ID / Touch ID Lock
Lock the app behind biometric authentication. Your experiment data stays private even if someone picks up your phone.
Perfect For
- Wet Lab Researchers
- Chemistry & Biology Labs
- Graduate Students & Postdocs
- Clinical Research Coordinators
- Quality Control Scientists
- Field Researchers
Go paperless. Plant a tree.
Every experiment you capture with Verbex is one less page in a paper notebook. We built Verbex to help scientists work better — and to leave fewer footprints on the planet while doing it.
Capture now. Export into your workflow.
Stop reconstructing experiments from memory. Start capturing them as they happen.
