Frequently asked questions
Is there a free SOAP note generator?
Yes. This SOAP note generator is completely free to use, with no sign-up and no login. Enter your Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan details and copy the formatted note. Nothing you type is stored or sent to a server. If you want notes drafted automatically from a patient conversation, PatientNotes offers an AI scribe with a free 7-day trial (no credit card required).
Can AI write SOAP notes?
Yes. AI medical scribes such as PatientNotes listen to (or transcribe) a patient encounter and generate a structured SOAP note automatically, including the Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan sections. The clinician reviews and edits before signing. The builder on this page is a manual, form-based generator; the AI version is available on a free 7-day trial.
What is the difference between this tool and an AI SOAP note generator?
This page has two options. The free in-browser builder formats the details you type into a clean SOAP note in real time. The AI SOAP note generator (PatientNotes) writes the note for you from the visit conversation, so you are editing a draft instead of typing from scratch. Both produce standard SOAP-formatted documentation.
What are the four parts of a SOAP note?
A SOAP note has four sections: Subjective (the patient-reported history, chief complaint, and symptoms), Objective (measurable data such as vitals, exam findings, labs, and imaging), Assessment (the clinician’s diagnoses and clinical reasoning), and Plan (treatment, medications, further workup, patient education, and follow-up).
Is this SOAP note generator HIPAA compliant?
The free builder runs entirely in your browser and never transmits or stores what you type, so no protected health information leaves your device. For clinical documentation stored in a record, the PatientNotes AI scribe is built to be HIPAA compliant with a signed BAA available on eligible plans.
