What an AI scribe does

An AI scribe listens and writes the clinical note for you. Instead of typing after every visit, you talk, and the scribe turns what was said into a structured note: what the patient reported, what you found, your assessment and the plan. Some scribes work from dictation; ambient scribes listen to the whole conversation in the room. Read more in our guide to ambient scribes.

What this free AI scribe does, and what it doesn't

This page is an honest, limited sample:

Recordings stop at 60 seconds. That is enough to dictate a summary after a visit, not to record the visit itself.
It writes one note at a time, in SOAP format by default, or DAP and BIRP for therapy.
Usage is capped at 5 notes an hour and 15 a day per visitor, and 5 recordings an hour.
Nothing is saved. Copy the note before you leave the page.

PatientNotes, the full product, records whole visits on your phone or in the browser, writes the note in your own template (37 specialties are built in, and you can edit any of them), suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes, and formats the note to paste cleanly into your EHR.

Example: from a few lines to a SOAP note

A fictional visit summary, and the note the generator behind this page wrote from it, unedited. Dictated summaries work the same way.

How to get a good note from dictation

Dictate right after the visit, while it is fresh. Speak in the order you would write: complaint, history, exam findings, your assessment, the plan.
Say the numbers. Vitals, doses, durations and scores are kept exactly as you say them, and nothing is added that you did not say.
Leave out identifiers. Do not say the patient's name or date of birth. Age and sex are fine.
Check the transcript. The transcript stays in the text box under the recorder. If a word was misheard, fix it and generate again.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is this a full AI scribe?

No, it is a free sample. It turns up to 60 seconds of dictation, or typed notes, into a SOAP note. PatientNotes, the full AI scribe, records whole visits of any length, writes the note in your own template, suggests ICD-10 and CPT codes and keeps your notes in one secure place.

Can I record a whole patient visit?

Not on this page: each recording stops at 60 seconds. Most people dictate a quick summary of the visit right after it ends. To record entire visits, start a PatientNotes free trial.

Which note format does it write?

SOAP by default. Choose Therapy / counselling as the specialty to get a DAP or BIRP note instead.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the page, allow the microphone and record. If your browser blocks the microphone, you can type your notes instead.

Is it really free? Are there limits?

Yes, it is free with no signup. To keep it fast for everyone, each visitor can generate up to 5 notes an hour and 15 a day, and record up to 5 clips an hour of up to 60 seconds each. PatientNotes itself has no such limits.

Is it HIPAA compliant? Can I enter patient information?

Don't enter or say names, dates of birth, record numbers or other identifiers. Your text and audio are sent to our AI providers to do the work, and PatientNotes doesn't store what you enter, the recording or the result. Treat this page as a drafting aid for de-identified notes. For real patient records, use PatientNotes itself, which is built for patient data and signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

How accurate is the AI note?

It is a draft. The generator only uses what you wrote or said and is told not to add findings, vitals, doses or diagnoses you did not mention. Any section your notes do not cover reads "Not documented". Always review the note before it goes into a record; you remain responsible for its content.
