How it works
Open the SOAP Review panel
Navigate to the full-page SOAP Review panel from the clinical notes area of an appointment.
Choose your input method
You can either type your clinical observations directly into the text area, or use the voice recorder to dictate them.
Select your language (voice only)
If using voice dictation, select your language before you start recording. Supported languages are English, Urdu, and Hindi.
Record or type your observations
Describe what happened during the appointment in your own words. Include the chief complaint, what you found on examination, your assessment, and your plan.
Structured output fields
The AI organizes your input into the following fields:| Field | What it captures |
|---|---|
| Chief Complaint | The patient’s primary reason for the visit |
| Subjective | Patient-reported symptoms, history, and concerns |
| Objective | Your clinical findings and examination results |
| Assessment | Your diagnosis or differential diagnosis |
| Plan | Treatment plan, prescriptions, follow-up instructions |
| Diagnosis | Formal diagnosis for the record |
| Treatment Provided | Procedures performed during this visit |
Voice dictation
The voice recorder supports three languages for transcription:- English — direct transcription
- Urdu — transcribed and automatically translated to clinical English
- Hindi — transcribed and automatically translated to clinical English
Key behaviors
Sparse input produces sparse output
Sparse input produces sparse output
The AI never fabricates clinical findings. If you only mention a chief complaint and a plan, the Objective and Assessment fields will remain minimal or empty. This is intentional — what you don’t say doesn’t get invented.
Automatic FDI notation
Automatic FDI notation
Tooth numbers mentioned in your dictation are automatically converted to FDI (Federation Dentaire Internationale) notation in the structured output. Whether you say “upper right six” or “tooth 16”, the output uses the standard two-digit format.
Error handling
Error handling
If something goes wrong during processing, a retry button appears. You won’t lose your original input — simply click retry to try again.
Tips for better results
Be specific about findings
Instead of “tooth looks bad,” say “tooth 36 has deep caries on the mesial surface with pulp exposure.”
Mention your plan explicitly
The AI separates assessment from plan, so stating both clearly helps produce accurate structure.
Include patient-reported details
Mention what the patient told you — pain duration, sensitivity triggers, medication history — so the Subjective field is populated.
Speak naturally
You don’t need to dictate in SOAP order. The AI will sort your observations into the correct fields regardless of the order you mention them.
Always review the structured output before saving. The AI is a drafting tool — the clinical record is your responsibility.
