Whether you're seeing patients in person or via telehealth, the AI captures the conversation, organizes it into the right format, and has a note ready for your review in minutes — no typing required.

In this guide, we'll walk you through how to set up and use the AI Scribe on Chartnote from start to finish, so you can start spending more time with patients and less time at your keyboard.
