Translation that stays on the device.

A medical interpreter for iOS. On-device. Credential-gated. Nothing transmitted.

How it works.

Every stage runs on the iPhone. Nothing crosses the network.

Listen
Audio is transcribed locally using Apple's on-device speech framework. Raw audio never leaves the phone.
Translate
Apple's Translation framework converts text on the Neural Engine. Source and translation both stay in memory.
Speak
Output is voiced using Apple's Neural Voices. No text is ever sent to a cloud TTS service.
Wipe
Session data lives only in volatile memory. Nothing written to disk, iCloud, or backup.

A session is short by design.

Three independent wipe triggers. No transcript outlives its usefulness.

30min
Session ceiling
After 30 minutes, the app re-authenticates and clears all buffers.
0sec
On background
Switching apps or locking the phone wipes memory immediately.
5min
Idle timeout
Five minutes without input clears the session automatically.

Verified professionals only.

Every account is verified against the appropriate credentialing body.

Languages.

Powered by Apple's on-device translation library.

Arabic · Chinese (Mandarin) · Dutch · English · French · German · Hindi · Indonesian · Italian · Japanese · Korean · Polish · Portuguese · Russian · Spanish · Thai · Turkish · Ukrainian · Vietnamese

Apple's on-device library expands with each iOS release. South Asian languages — Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu — are on our roadmap through a bundled on-device pipeline, preserving the zero-cloud guarantee. For rare dialects not yet supported, we recommend a certified human interpreter rather than compromising on-device processing.

Questions.

Is HIPAAspeak* HIPAA compliant?

HIPAAspeak is architected to support HIPAA-covered entities in meeting their compliance obligations. No product is "HIPAA certified" — that designation doesn't exist. We provide an on-device architecture, a BAA for covered entities, and credential-gated access. Covered entities remain responsible for their own HIPAA compliance programs.

Why only iOS?

Apple's on-device speech, translation, and voice frameworks are uniquely suited to a zero-cloud clinical tool. They run on the Neural Engine, are rigorously audited, and come with Apple's own privacy guarantees. Replicating this on Android today would require bundling third-party models, which weakens the security story.

What happens if I close the app mid-conversation?

The session wipes immediately. All audio buffers, transcripts, and translations clear from memory. Re-opening requires Face ID, and no prior session is recoverable.

Does it work without internet?

Yes, once the app is installed and the language models are downloaded. Internet is only required for initial credential verification and billing. The translation pipeline itself runs entirely offline.

Do you offer a BAA?

Yes. Available on request for Monthly and Annual subscribers. Because HIPAAspeak doesn't transmit PHI to our servers, our BAA obligations are narrower than a typical cloud vendor's — but the document is available for any covered entity that requires one.

Can a patient use the app?

No. HIPAAspeak activates only for verified healthcare professionals. Patients speak into the clinician's phone during a session — the app is a tool operated by the provider.
