Put the notepad down. IQ:capture is now live
There is a moment in every care consultation where you have to choose. Keep listening, or start writing. Most care managers have spent years doing both at once, and doing neither quite as well as they would like.
IQ:capture is now live, and it removes that choice. It is AI care transcription software built specifically for home care, and it turns the conversation you are already having into the record you would otherwise have written up afterwards.
The conversation is the record
Care conversations are full of the things that matter most. Names, routines, preferences, the small worry someone mentions in passing on the way to the door. That detail is what makes a care plan person-centred rather than generic.
The difficulty has always been getting it out of the room and onto the record without losing half of it. A document written up hours later can only ever be as good as what somebody managed to remember, and the time it takes has to come from somewhere.
IQ:capture records the conversation, transcribes it accurately and turns it into a structured, professional document. What was said is what gets written down.
What IQ:capture does
You open IQ:capture on your phone, tablet or laptop and press record. Then you put the device down and have the conversation properly.
Afterwards you get two things: a concise, structured summary and the full transcript. Choose the meeting type and IQ:capture formats the summary into a professional document in your own branding, ready to export to PDF, Word or email in a couple of clicks.
If you use IQ:careassist, our AI co-authored care planning tool, a care consultation summary can go straight in to co-author the care plan. What used to take most of a day now takes minutes.
You decide where every recording lives
This is the part we are proudest of, and it is the question care leaders ask first.
You choose where each recording is stored, conversation by conversation. Cloud storage when the whole team needs access to a care consultation. Or kept locally on the device when the conversation should not leave the room, which matters for a safeguarding disclosure, a grievance, or a mental capacity assessment.
IQ:capture was built in-house by Unique IQ, so there is no third-party system in the middle and no client data being passed to another company for processing.
You do not need our platform to use it
IQ:capture works on its own.
That is worth stating plainly, because it is unusual. You do not need IQ:caremanager or any part of the Unique IQ platform to get value from it. It works alongside whatever care management system you already run, on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
If you are already a Unique IQ customer, the connection to IQ:careassist is where the biggest time saving sits. If you are not, IQ:capture still does a complete job on its own.
Templates built around how care is actually recorded
Plenty of tools can turn speech into text. Very few of them understand what a care record needs to contain.
IQ:capture comes with a library of templates covering the conversations care teams genuinely have: initial needs assessments, care plan reviews, supervisions, safeguarding concern records, medication audits, incident reports, recruitment interviews, handover briefings, mental capacity assessments and more. They are structured around the five key questions you are inspected against, so what comes out is evidence rather than a tidy summary.

Built for care, not adapted for it
We have been building software for home care for nearly 20 years, and IQ:capture was shaped with care providers working through real consultations, rather than designed in the abstract and pointed at the sector afterwards.
The result is a tool that fits how care is actually delivered: multi-speaker conversations in someone’s living room, medication changes mentioned in passing, family members interrupting, and a record that has to stand up to scrutiny months later.
And nothing is filed automatically. Your care manager reviews and approves every word before it goes anywhere.

How is this different from a general meeting transcription tool?
