Dictate a Case Summary, Get a Structured Note Draft
This tool records a dictated case summary, or takes an audio, video, or text file you upload, and turns it into a transcript with AI notes you can ask to follow a structure such as SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan). It is built for de-identified summaries, teaching examples, and documentation drafts, not for real patient encounters.
ScreenApp is not HIPAA compliant and does not sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Do not dictate or upload protected health information: patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, or anything else that could identify a real person. Use a de-identified summary, a fictional case, or your own notes instead.
What you get:
- A transcript of the dictation or upload, in 100+ languages
- AI notes: ask the AI chat to organize the transcript into a structure you name, such as SOAP
- AI templates and documents to start a note from
- Export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Free plan: one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat on it
How to Draft a Clinical-Style Note
- Dictate or upload - Record a spoken case summary in the browser or on your phone, or upload an existing audio, video, or text file. Keep it de-identified: no real patient names or identifiers.
- Ask for a format - Once the transcript is ready, use AI chat to ask for the structure you want, for example a SOAP-style summary, a progress-note outline, or a plain list of findings. AI templates and documents can also give you a starting point.
- Review and export - Read the draft, correct anything the AI got wrong, and export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT.
Accuracy depends on the recording. Clear, single-speaker audio with terms spoken plainly transcribes better than a noisy room with cross-talk. See how we measure accuracy.

- vs Freed: Freed is built for real clinical encounters. It listens during the visit and states it is HIPAA compliant, with a 7-day free trial and paid plans from $39/mo. ScreenApp is not HIPAA compliant, so it works for de-identified summaries and training material, not the visit itself.
- vs ChatGPT: ChatGPT can turn a pasted transcript into a note if you ask it to, and its Plus, Pro, or Team plans add a record mode for voice notes, but there is no dedicated clinical template or transcript export built for this job. ScreenApp records or accepts an upload, transcribes it, and lets you ask for a structure like SOAP in the same place.
- vs Template.net’s Doctor Note Generator: That tool takes a typed prompt and produces printable notes for work or school, such as a return-to-work letter. It does not accept a dictation or an audio file and is not built to draft clinical-style documentation. ScreenApp works from what you actually said, not a short typed prompt.
Who Drafts Notes This Way
Medical and nursing students dictate a case summary from a textbook scenario or an OSCE station and ask for a SOAP-style draft to check their own documentation habits against.
Clinical educators and preceptors record a teaching example once and reuse the transcript and note draft across cohorts instead of retyping the same sample case.
Documentation and compliance teams draft template notes and internal style guides from de-identified example scenarios before rolling out a new note format to a practice.
Medical writers and CME content creators turn a dictated outline into a structured draft they then edit for accuracy and tone before publishing.
Solo practitioners build their own personal note templates by dictating a fictional or de-identified example case and adjusting the AI’s draft to match how they write.
