How to Use Freed's AI Scribe

What if SOAP notes could write themselves? No more endless typing or pajama time — just accurate documentation.

That's why we're here. Freed's AI scribe transforms conversations into structured clinical documentation, in seconds.

Here's a step-by-step guide for how to start using our AI medical scribe.


Getting started with Freed: A how-to guide

Step 1: Create Your Freed Account

Our AI Scribe has little-to-no ramp-up time. Here's how to get started:

  • Go to our sign up page (no credit card required).
  • Enter your email to activate your 7-day free trial.
  • Done. No complex setup—just log in and start using your AI scribe.


Step 2: Capture a Patient Encounter

Once inside Freed, recording a visit is as natural as having a conversation.

Like any medical scribe, Freed works in the background to listen, transcribe, and write a structured SOAP note. 

  • Open the AI scribe on your desktop or mobile app.

Freed's AI scribe dashboard
  • Select “Start a visit” or add the patient’s name so you can track of patient care over time.

Use our precharting features to add the name and pronouns.

Pro Tip: Learn more about how Pre-charting supports ongoing patient care in our Health Center

  • Tap “Capture Conversation” and begin your visit.

The "Capture Conversation" button is at the top righthand corner of your screen

Pro tip: You can also upload a recording of a previous patient encounter.

End the recording, and let Freed do the rest.

Click "End Visit" on the upper right of your dashboard

Pro tip: You can pause the scribe software at any time.

That’s it—no need to jot down notes or rely on memory.

Our ambient AI scribe is designed to accurately capture the entire conversation and add the important details to your note.


Step 3: Edit and Personalize Your Clinical Note

Once Freed generates your clinical documentation, you’re in control.
