Lesson 1.4 — Editing & Voice Editing

Module 1, Lesson 4

Prerequisites: Lesson 1.3 — AI Note Generation

Estimated time: 7 minutes

What You'll Learn

  • How to edit generated notes using the rich text editor
  • How to use voice editing to make hands-free corrections
  • How to use dictation mode for inline text insertion
  • AI-powered editing tools: AI Scratchpad, AI Magic Edit, and ICD-10 Search

The Rich Text Editor

Every generated note opens in the rich text editor. Click anywhere in the note text and the toolbar appears. You have full control over the document:

  • Font family and size — choose from Inter (default), Arial, Georgia, Times New Roman, Courier New, Verdana, and more
  • Formatting — bold, italic, strikethrough, bulleted lists, numbered lists, block quotes
  • Undo / Redo — step backward and forward through your edits
  • Insert options — images, links, horizontal rules, tables
  • Print — send the current note directly to your browser's print dialog

The editor automatically saves your changes. You can freely add text, delete sections, reorganize paragraphs, or retype anything the AI got wrong.

Voice Editing

Voice editing lets you make corrections to a generated note by speaking. Instead of typing out changes, you describe what you want changed and the AI applies the edits for you.

To use voice editing:

  1. Click the Voice Edit button (microphone icon) that appears below your generated note
  2. A recording interface opens — speak your correction naturally. For example: “Change the dosage of metformin from 500mg to 1000mg” or “Add a follow-up appointment in two weeks to the plan section”
  3. Click Stop when finished
  4. The AI processes your voice instruction and applies the edit to the note
  5. A diff view shows you exactly what changed — new text highlighted so you can verify

Each voice edit consumes 1 credit. The edited note replaces the previous version in the thread.

Dictation Mode (Ctrl+D)

Dictation mode is different from voice editing. While voice editing modifies existing text, dictation mode inserts new text at your cursor position.

Press Ctrl+D (or Cmd+D on Mac) while the editor is focused. A dictation indicator appears, and anything you speak is transcribed and inserted directly into the note at the cursor location. Press the shortcut again or click Stop to end dictation.

Use dictation when you want to add a paragraph, append notes to a section, or quickly type hands-free.

AI Scratchpad (Ctrl+S)

Select any text in the editor and press Ctrl+S to open the AI Scratchpad tool. Type a natural-language instruction about what you want the AI to do with the selected text — for example, “make this more concise” or “rewrite in past tense” or “translate to Spanish.” The AI replaces the selection with its output.

AI Magic Edit (Ctrl+R)

Select text and press Ctrl+R to open AI Magic Edit. This works similarly to AI Scratchpad but is optimized for find-and-replace style corrections across the note. Describe the change you need, and the AI applies it to the selected region.

ICD-10 Search (Ctrl+F)

Press Ctrl+F while in the editor to open the ICD-10 code search tool. Type a diagnosis or keyword, and the tool finds matching ICD-10 codes. Select a code to insert it directly into your note at the cursor position.

Macro Library (Ctrl+M)

Press Ctrl+M to open your macro library. Macros are predefined text snippets — for example, a standard physical exam finding or a medication instruction. Browse your saved macros, click one, and it inserts at the cursor.

Save Quick Phrase (Ctrl+Shift+M)

Select text in the editor and press Ctrl+Shift+M to save it as a quick phrase (macro). This lets you build your macro library as you work — when you type a phrase you use often, save it immediately for future notes.
