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
Click the Profile icon in the bottom left corner
Click You
Update your name, title, and select a different medical specialty from the list
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
Open your note after a visit
Click the Magic Edit button on the right side of your screen
Give it instructions (e.g., “remove the patient’s name.”)
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.
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:
Open any finished note
Click the template button
Choose a template with a purple icon
Through your template library:
Click Templates on the left sidebar to open the template library
Select a template with the purple icon
Click the three-dots, then click Duplicate
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:
Edit anything in your note
Click Learn Format – we’ll let you know when Freed’s done learning
For more specific edits, you can review and update 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:
Edit the text directly.
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”).
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.
After you’ve edited and customized, click Save changes.
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.)
