❓ Frequently Asked Questions

ClinicalWriterAI transforms your everyday observations into professional medical documentation. You write (or dictate) what you observed in your own words, in any language, and the tool rewrites it as structured clinical documentation using precise medical terminology.

Absolutely — that is the very origin story of this app: it was created for a colleague newly arrived from Russia — a nurse by training — who struggled to write her notes in French. DICTATE in one of the dictation menu languages (English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Ukrainian, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi, Portuguese) or WRITE in any language at all. The app translates, corrects and transforms everything into a flawless clinical note, in English or French. Your language is not in the dictation menu? Ask the assistant 💬 — it will guide you. Your clinical expertise was never the problem — now the language won't be either.

Not at all! ClinicalWriterAI is built for every professional who writes chart notes: nurses, PSWs, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, respiratory therapists, dietitians, pharmacists, midwives, paramedics, retirement home staff and more. With custom templates, each specialty creates its own note formats adapted to its practice — describe your structure once, and the tool follows it.

Simple and universal: the Copy button. Your note is also saved in your History, which follows your account on every device — dictate on your phone in the corridor, then open clinicalwriterai.ca on the unit workstation, log in, open History, copy your note and paste it into your official charting software. You then review it, add patient identifiers INSIDE the official system only, and sign. This works with every charting system in Canada. With the Chrome extension, you can even rewrite text directly beside a web-based charting page.

Four built-in formats: SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), DAR (Data, Action, Response), SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation), and General Medicalization — professional medical language without a specific structure. Pro members can also create unlimited custom templates for their own formats, such as an emergency triage assessment or a shift handover note.

Yes. Write or dictate in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, or any other language — the input language is detected automatically. You choose the output language separately, so you can, for example, dictate in French and receive professional documentation in English, or keep the output in the same language as your input.

One single touch from start to finish: 1. Tap the mic ONCE. 2. Say "room 222" and the note label fills itself in. 3. Dictate your note — take your pauses, it waits for you. 4. Say "close" and everything stops cleanly (in French: « fini »). You can also speak punctuation out loud: "period", "comma", "new line" in English, or « point », « virgule », « à la ligne » in French. Dictation uses your browser's built-in speech recognition and works best in Chrome and Edge. If your browser doesn't support it, you can always type normally.

In Settings, you can select your Canadian province or territory. The AI will then prefer terminology, units, and abbreviations consistent with documentation practices commonly used in your province's healthcare system.

Your account and history are stored in a private database on our own Canadian hosting — not on a third-party app platform. Passwords are hashed, connections are encrypted, and your history is visible only to you. The text you submit is processed by Anthropic's Claude AI to perform the rewriting. See the Privacy Policy for full details.

No — please don't. ClinicalWriterAI is a writing aid, not a medical record system. Describe the situation without identifiers ("the patient", "the resident") and add names only afterwards, inside your official documentation system. You remain responsible for your professional confidentiality obligations.

Always. The AI preserves the facts you provide and never invents findings, but you are the professional: review every rewrite for accuracy and completeness before adding it to any patient record. The output is a draft to save you time, not a final clinical judgment.

Easy! On ANDROID (Chrome): a \"📲 Install the app\" invitation appears at the bottom of the screen — tap Install, done. If it does not appear: Chrome menu ⋮ → \"Add to Home screen\". On IPHONE/IPAD (Safari): tap the Share button ⬆️ at the bottom, then \"Add to Home Screen\". The app then lives on your home screen like any app — full screen, fast start, ready for your shifts.

In 30 seconds: click Register, enter your name, email and a password — that's it. No code required, no card asked. Registration is instant and free during the launch period, and founding members will keep a permanent advantage.

ClinicalWriterAI is officially on the Chrome Web Store! Open this link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ifplpbinmmjkdgiinjgcmbohhliklphf , click "Add to Chrome", then pin the icon. That's it: sign in once on clinicalwriterai.ca and the extension recognizes you automatically — no token, no configuration. One click on the icon opens the side panel, with voice dictation and an Insert button. You can then rewrite text from any page of your browser.

On Android (Chrome): open the site, sign in, then tap "Install app" in the banner or in the ⋮ menu. On iPhone (Safari): open the site, tap the Share button (square with arrow), then "Add to Home Screen". The app icon appears on your home screen and opens full-screen like a native app.

Every rewrite is saved to your personal history so you can find past work. From the History page you can review entries, delete any single entry, or clear your entire history permanently.

That's Android doing its housekeeping: Chrome automatically removes the microphone permission from sites you haven't visited for a while. Nothing is broken — just grant it again: 1. When your phone asks for microphone access, choose "Allow" (not "This time only", otherwise you will redo it every time). 2. If no prompt appears: tap the little lock 🔒 next to the address, then Permissions, then Microphone, then Allow. 3. Tip to make it last: use the app regularly, or add it to your home screen (Chrome menu → "Add to Home screen") — permissions are more stable there.

No. Your session now lasts 16 hours — enough for a full shift, even a double. And if you check "Remember me" when signing in on your personal device, the site keeps you signed in for 30 days, renewed at every visit. The Chrome extension uses the same sign-in, so it benefits automatically. On shared unit workstations, simply skip the checkbox and sign out when you are done.

The app works in all modern browsers on desktop and mobile. Voice dictation specifically requires Chrome or Edge; everything else works everywhere.
