Portfol.io · for UK doctors & trainees
Dictate, anonymise, structure — reflect.
An iOS dictation portfolio for UK doctors and trainees. Speech recognition and identifier scrubbing happen on your device. Only anonymised text is sent for AI structuring into ePortfolio-ready entries.

Answers to common questions.
If something here doesn't fix it, email and you'll get a reply from the developer — usually within one working day.
Does my audio ever leave the phone?
By default, no. Speech recognition runs entirely on-device using Apple's frameworks and the audio never leaves your device. On a small number of older devices where on-device recognition isn't available, the app will tell you clearly before anything is sent — you'll see an explicit warning and have to actively agree before Apple's servers are used. If that fallback is active, you'll be reminded not to include patient-identifiable details. Either way, no audio is ever stored on our servers, and anonymisation always runs locally before any text is processed further.
What does the anonymisation step actually do?
An on-device scrubber identifies patient names, dates of birth, specific locations and rare diagnoses, and replaces them with generalised placeholders (
[patient], [date], [tertiary centre]) before any text is transmitted. You can review and edit the scrubbed text before it's sent.How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple. Open Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone, choose Portfol.io, and tap Cancel. Cancelling before the renewal date stops the next charge; existing entries remain accessible until the period ends.
How do I delete my account and entries?
In the app, open Profile → Privacy & data → Delete account. Your account and all stored entries are removed from our servers within 30 days. This is permanent and irreversible.
Can I export my entries?
Each entry has a Copy action on every field, mirroring the structure of your ePortfolio form (CBD, mini-CEX, ACAT, etc.). Bulk PDF export is on the roadmap — email if you'd like to be notified when it lands.
Will it map to my curriculum?
Entries are mapped against UK postgraduate curricula — JRCPTB CiPs, Generic Professional Capabilities and equivalent frameworks. You can adjust the mapping per-entry before copying into your ePortfolio.
Is the AI's output safe to submit as-is?
Treat it as a drafting aid, not a finished entry. You're responsible for reviewing every field before submission. Verified NICE guideline citations are linked back to source so you can confirm them.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone and iPad running iOS / iPadOS 17 or later. On-device transcription is required for the privacy model to hold — if your device doesn't support it, the app will tell you explicitly on first launch. No silent fallback to cloud speech recognition.
