💬Dot Phrases
What they are: Natural language triggers that insert pre-built blocks of text into your notes.
What they're for: Eliminating repetitive typing for commonly used clinical language or verbally stating unnecessary information during the visit. When you use a dot phrase, ScribeAI inserts your full template and then automatically replaces any normal findings with abnormal findings captured from the visit transcript.
Example: You say "normal physical exam" - ScribeAI inserts your complete standard physical exam template, then cross-references the transcript and replaces the relevant normals with any abnormal findings documented during the visit. You get a complete, accurate physical exam in seconds.
Common use cases:
Normal physical exam templates
Standard review of systems language
MDM framework
Medication reconciliation templates
How to set up Dot Phrases:
On the home page, click Dot Phrases
Create a phrase name (e.g. "normal physical exam")
Paste or write the template text you want inserted
Click the blue square to save - use it in any future note by saying the phrase name

Tip: Make your trigger phrases unique and easy to pronounce. Avoid using numbers (e.g. 2,4) - they may add to transcript as text rather than numerals and will not trigger the dot phrase.
