Clinical documentation features built for how you work

Dictum turns patient encounters and clinician dictation into structured, review-ready documentation. Ambient recording, SOAP notes, patient summaries, referral letters, and custom templates — each feature is designed to reduce charting time without removing the clinician from the loop.

How these features work together

A typical Dictum workflow starts with capture — either ambient recording during the visit or dictation afterward. The AI generates a draft note in the format you choose, you review and edit, then copy the finished note to your EHR.

  1. 1

    Capture the encounter

    Use ambient recording during the visit, or dictate a summary after the patient leaves. Works on mobile or desktop, including offline environments.

  2. 2

    Generate structured documentation

    Dictum produces a SOAP note, after-visit summary, referral letter, or custom template note based on the format you select.

  3. 3

    Review and edit

    Every note is a draft. You review the content, correct anything the AI missed or misplaced, add clinical detail, and approve the final version.

  4. 4

    Export to your EHR

    Copy the reviewed note and paste it into your electronic health record. EHR-ready documentation is formatted for a clean transfer.

Security and clinician control

Dictum processes encounter audio in real time and does not retain patient audio recordings on our servers after transcription. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Clinicians review every note before it reaches the medical record, and Dictum offers Business Associate Agreements for covered entities.
