You know how your notes should look — how sections flow, where information goes, and what makes a chart EHR-ready. 

An AI scribe should capture everything you need — how you need it — every time. 

The good news? It can. All it takes is the right templates, some edits, and a little AI magic. 

You deserve notes that sound like you. Let’s dig into all the ways you can personalize Freed. 

Start with your specialty

Capture what matters. Make sure that you have your specialty listed in your profile. This helps Freed put your visit in the right clinical context, by: 

  • Summarizing the conversation
  • Filtering out irrelevant information (like casual chit-chat). 
  • Adding specialty-aware corrections (e.g., changing "stomach bug" to "viral gastroenteritis.")

How to update your specialty

Change your specialty on Freed. Text: Personalize your Freed experience. Improve your experience by telling Freed about yourself: Name, Title, Specialty

  1. Click the Profile icon in the bottom left corner
  2. Click You
  3. Update your name, title, and select a different medical specialty from the list
  4. Click Save

Ask Magic Edit to make changes 

Let AI do the work for you with Magic Edit. Type in any prompt to apply to your entire note. 

You can say things like:

  • “Shorten the subjective section.”
  • “Combine this into a cohesive narrative.”
  • “Rewrite in more clinical language.”
  • “Add a brief differential.”

Magic edit understands medical context, so the changes stay accurate while matching your style.

How to use Magic Edit

  1. Open your note after a visit
  2. Click the Magic Edit button on the right side of your screen
  3. Give it instructions (e.g., “remove the patient’s name.”) 
  4. Click Update Note

This will apply your changes throughout the whole note. If you want to save those changes in a template, make sure you’re using a learned template and click Learn Format — learn more below.

Edit a learned template 

One of the fastest, most powerful ways to customize your note is through Learn Format. 

Train Freed on your real edits, then review and adjust an example note in real time. 

How to find a learned template

There are two default Learned Templates: New Patient and Returning Patient. Use these as starting points and duplicate as many times as you want to adjust for different patients and needs. 

There are two ways to find a learned template:


Through your patient note: 

  1. Open any finished note
  2. Click the template button
  3. Choose a template with a purple icon
Templates dropdown in reed dashboard. Text: My library, New Patient, Returning Patient

Through your template library:

  1. Click Templates on the left sidebar to open the template library
  2. Select a template with the purple icon
  3. Click the three-dots, then click Duplicate
Freed template library with template name, owners, and time of latest activity. Text:: Customize notes with your templates. Templates will appear in the template selector on notes and start-a-visit-page

How to use a learned template

  • Using a learned template is easy. Just edit a note how you’d like it to look, and save. This trains Freed on your writing preferences and style. Make edits to show:
    • How you prefer sections structured
    • How long notes should be (e.g., concise or lengthy) 
    • How you phrase assessments or plans
    • Whether you prefer bullet lists, paragraphs, or a combination of both

    After a visit, open your learned template to: 

    1. Edit anything in your note 
    2. Click Learn Format – we’ll let you know when Freed’s done learning
    3. For more specific edits, you can review and update an example note. 

    💡 Learn more in our help center.

    Use an example note 

    Need more specific changes? Train the learned template further by reviewing and updating an example note. You can: 

    • Make additional edits to the format or writing style
    • Add verbatim text that you want to see in every note
    • Add custom instructions to add specific guidelines you want the AI to follow 

    How to use an example note

    Find an example note by clicking Learn Format or opening a learned template in the template library (see the section above for how to find learned templates). 

    To update the example note, you can:

    1. Edit the text directly. 
    2. Add quotation marks around text that you want said verbatim in each note (e.g.,"Patient consented to the use of Freed to record and transcribe notes during this visit”). 
    3. Use brackets to add custom instructions (e.g.,Using a learned template is easy. Just edit a note how you’d like it to look, and save. This trains Freed on your writing preferences and style. Make edits to show:). This will look blue in the example note. 
    4. After you’ve edited and customized, click Save changes
    Freed example note that users can edit to train Freed on writing preferences. This template is set to "New Patient." Text: Your example note shows how your ideal note should look. It is updated automatically when you ask Freed to learn. You can customize it yourself to add or remove sections, change formatting, rename headers, adjust terminology, modify writing style and detail level.

    Or, Opt to build a structured template

    Learned templates can probably give you what you need, but we also offer structured templates for groups who need complete control on each part of the note. 

    You can choose from pre-built templates in the template library, or create your own from scratch with the template builder. This lets you: 

    • Add, reorder or remove sections
    • Share templates across your organization 
    • Create custom subsections (this is an advanced feature — learn more in our help center.) 

    How to find a structured template 

    We’ve pre-built templates for different specialties, treatments, and use cases. Here’s how to find them:

    Through your patient note: 

    1. Open any finished note
    2. Click the template button
    3. Choose a template with a blue icon

    Through your template library:

    1. Click Templates on the left sidebar to open the template library
    2. Select a template with the blue icon
    3. Right-click a template to duplicate and edit a new one

    How to use the template builder 

    To edit a pre-built template, you can: 

    1. Click the Templates icon in the left sidebar.
    2. Click the template you want to edit 
    3. Click the Duplicate & Edit button in the bottom right corner

    To create a new template: 

    1. Click the Templates icon in the left sidebar.
    2. Click + New Template in the upper right corner
    3. Click the Duplicate & Edit button in the bottom right corner

    To customize a template, you can:

    • Reorder subsections by dragging and dropping with the handle icon 
    • Remove subsections by expanding one and clicking the red trash icon 
    • Define the style and length settings by selecting options in each subsection 
    • Toggle sections on or off by clicking the eye icon
    • Create custom subsections by writing prompts in brackets
