Installing the App
Getting TalkDoc on your phone takes just a few minutes. Follow the steps for your device.
iPhone (App Store)

- Tap Open to launch the app
Android (Google Play)
- Open Google Play Store on your Android device

- Wait for installation to complete

Required Permissions
TalkDoc needs a few permissions to work properly. When you first launch the app, you’ll see permission requests for:
Microphone Access
TalkDoc records your voice, so it needs permission to use your device’s microphone. This is required to create documents.
Speech Recognition
The app uses on-device speech recognition to transcribe your voice as you speak. This helps it understand your observations.
Tip: These permissions are local to your device. TalkDoc doesn’t upload raw audio files to process your speech. All transcription happens securely.
First Launch
When you open TalkDoc for the first time:
- You’ll see a welcome screen explaining what the app does
- Grant the microphone and speech recognition permissions when prompted
- You can skip account creation (or create one if you prefer)
- You’ll land on the Home screen with a “New Document” button
Internet Connection
TalkDoc needs an active internet connection to generate documents. The app sends your transcribed notes to Claude Haiku (our AI model) to transform them into structured documents.
Tip: You can record voice notes offline, but document generation requires an internet connection. The app will prompt you to connect if you try to generate a document while offline.
What’s Next?
Once the app is installed and permissions are set, you’re ready to create your first document. See Creating Your First Document for a step-by-step walkthrough.
