Every meaningful moment in care begins with a conversation. An initial assessment. A review with a family. A supervision, a handover, a safeguarding discussion. The detail in those conversations matters. The trouble is, someone always has to turn it into a record afterwards, often hours later, often from memory.
We have been working on something to change that. It is coming soon to the Unique IQ platform, and we think it will give care teams back some of their most valuable time.
Introducing IQ:capture
IQ:capture is a new tool built for the realities of home care. It records the conversation as it happens, transcribes it accurately, and turns it into a clear, structured record you can actually use. It works across desktop and mobile, on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, so your team can capture a conversation wherever it happens.
No more scribbling notes while trying to stay present in the room. No more piecing it all together at the end of a long day. The conversation is captured, and the record is ready.
Record, then choose how it should look
Here is what makes IQ:capture genuinely useful in day to day care. Once you have recorded a conversation, you simply select the type of meeting it was, and IQ:capture formats the transcript into a professional document suited to that exact purpose, in your own branding.
It comes preloaded with templates for the conversations care teams have every week, including initial needs assessments, care plan reviews, supervisions, safeguarding concern records, medication audits, incident reports, recruitment interviews and many more. You can also build your own templates to match exactly how your organisation works.
You get both a concise summary and the full transcript, ready to export to PDF, Word or email in a few clicks. One conversation, one professional record, done.
What makes IQ:capture different
“Plenty of tools can turn speech into text. IQ:capture is built for the specific realities of care.
Privacy first. You decide where each recording goes. Save to the cloud for easy access across your team, or, on desktop, keep a recording stored locally on your own device. Some conversations are especially sensitive, a safeguarding disclosure, a grievance, a mental capacity assessment, and for these you may prefer to keep the recording on the device rather than syncing it anywhere. That choice stays with you, every time.
Built into your platform. IQ:capture sits inside the Unique IQ platform. There is no separate system to log into and no third-party tool bolted on the side.
Templates aligned to CQC standards. The preloaded templates are designed around the way care is inspected and recorded, and each document comes out in your own branding. You can also build your own templates to match how your organisation works.
It is voice-to-text transcription, with a desktop app and a mobile app. But as you can see, it is so much more.”
Built to work with IQ:careassist
If you already use IQ:careassist, IQ:capture takes your workflow even further. The summary from a care consultation feeds straight into IQ:careassist to co-author a person-centred care plan.
That means the journey from conversation to completed care plan, something that used to take hours, can now happen in minutes. Record the consultation, let IQ:capture structure it, and let IQ:careassist help you build the plan. One connected flow, no re-keying, no lost detail.
Why it matters
Admin has quietly become one of the biggest pressures on care teams. Time spent on admin is time not spent with people. IQ:capture is designed to shift that balance back, without cutting corners on the quality or accuracy of your records.
It sits natively within the Unique IQ platform, alongside IQ:careassist and IQ:careaudit. No separate system, no extra login, no disruption to how your team already works. You can read more on our care transcription software page.
