Voice Dictation

Speak It. Send It.
Letters Done Before They Leave

Dictate your clinical notes while the patient is still in the chair. AI transcribes your voice and rewrites it into a professional letter with the right names, treatment details, and payment calculations already filled in.

How It Works

From Voice to Letter in Three Steps

Step 1

Record

Dictate your findings at the chair. Use the browser mic, upload a file, or control playback hands-free with an Olympus foot pedal.

Step 2

Transcribe

AI converts your audio to text with proper punctuation, paragraph breaks, and filler words stripped out. Review and edit if needed.

Step 3

Rewrite

AI rewrites the raw transcription into a professional clinical letter. It fills in patient names, doctor details, and calculates fees and payment plans automatically.

Feature Breakdown

Built Around How
Clinicians Actually Dictate

Record at the Chair

Hit record while the patient is still in front of you. Dictate your clinical findings, treatment plan, and letter instructions in your own words. Supports Olympus foot pedals for hands-free control.

AI Transcription

Audio is transcribed automatically with proper punctuation, paragraph breaks, and speaker identification. No typing required.

Professional Letter Generation

AI takes your raw dictation and turns it into a polished clinical letter. It pulls in the patient name, referring doctor, treatment details, and even calculates payment plans from the numbers you say.

Three Letter Types

Billing party letters, referring doctor thank-you letters, and specialist referral letters. Each type has its own formatting rules and clinical context.

Olympus Foot Pedal

Plug in an Olympus RS31H foot pedal and control playback without touching the keyboard. Left to rewind, centre to play and pause, right to fast forward.

Clinical Context Aware

The AI reads the patient record before rewriting. It knows the treatment history, classifications, measurements, and referring doctor details so nothing gets lost in translation.
