Recording and generating notes
Ready to capture those important patient details? Let's walk through the process of creating a note in ScribbleVet:
Step 1: Create a new appointment
- Tap the purple '+' or '+ New' button to get started.
Step 2: Choose your template
- Select the note template that best fits your appointment type.
Step 3: Add patient details
- Enter the patient's name.
- For new patients, hit "Add new".
- For returning patients, select their name from the patient list.
In a rush? Hit "Skip" to start recording immediately and add patient details later.
Step 4: Obtain client consent
We require the client’s consent if they are being recorded. The main points of consent are: 1) the client is recorded, and 2) the recording is sent to a service.
Client consent can be obtained directly on the recording or in writing:
- Sample written consent form
- Sample verbal consent verbiage: "Do I have your consent to record this conversation so that I can send it to a service that helps with my medical documentation?"
We recommend consulting your legal team for tailored advice regarding applicable local and national laws.
Step 5: Start recording
- On the recording screen, tap the red microphone button.
- Look for the "Listening for..." message – that's your cue that ScribbleVet is all ears!
Step 6: Capture the conversation
- Record any relevant information: patient history, physical exam findings, lab results, or your own dictated notes.
- Don't worry about background noise or small talk – ScribbleVet filters those out automatically!
- Tap the red stop button when you're done speaking. Your audio file will appear below the recording screen. Record as many times as you need!
Step 7: Generate your note
- Hit the purple "Scribble" button and ScribbleVet will start producing the note.
- Notes typically complete in a couple minutes. Longer audio recordings or busier parts of the day may result in longer scribbling times, but it should never take more than 5 minutes to return a note.
Step 9: Review and repeat
- You can record and hit "Scribble" as many times as you like. This allows you to record and generate notes iteratively throughout your appointment.
And there you have it! With ScribbleVet, creating detailed, accurate notes is as easy as having a conversation.
Editing your notes
Ready to review and edit your notes? Let's explore the editing tools available on the ScribbleVet website:
Section-level tools
Each section header (e.g., History, Physical Exam) comes with handy tools:
- Copy: Copy all the text within a particular section.
- Bold: Toggle bold formatting for highlighted text.
- Clear Formatting: Remove all bold formatting in the section.
- Undo: Revert manual edits to the latest AI-generated version.
Text highlighting features
Highlight specific text to access a secondary menu with these options:
- Copy: Copy just the highlighted text.
- Share Feedback: Use thumbs up/down buttons to help us improve.
- AI Include Details: Prompt the AI to dig deeper into your recordings for more relevant information. "Include Details" is useful when you want to expand on points that the AI might have summarized too briefly.
Continuous recording and Scribbling
If you have a lot of details to add (e.g. lab results, progress notes, etc.) you can always:
- Record or dictate new details at any time.
- Hit "Scribble" again to regenerate the note with the latest info.
- Caution: Re-generating will overwrite any manual edits
Mark your notes as reviewed
When you're done editing your notes, tap the "Mark Reviewed" button at the bottom to help remind yourself and others that you've finished reviewing this particular note. A copy of your note will also be emailed to you.

Notify your team about reviewed notes
Use internal workflow indicators
- Click the "Mark Reviewed" button at the bottom of the note when you've finished editing a note.

• Or send an example of your current note template with defaults filled in
We typically complete customization requests within 1-3 business days.
