Guide: Edit, Magic Edit, or Regenerate?
To ensure your documentation is both accurate and efficient, our AI Scribe provides three distinct ways to refine your notes. Choosing the right tool based on the "size" of the error will save you significant time.
Quick Comparison
Feature | Best For... | How it Works |
Manual Edit | Typos, specific measurements, or small omissions | You type directly into the note |
Magic Edit | Changing tone, length, or note structure | AI transforms the existing note based on your request |
Regenerate | Significant errors or poor initial interpretation | AI re-analyzes the entire audio transcript from scratch |
1. Manual Edit: The Surgical Fix
Use manual editing for minor, isolated changes that are faster to type than to explain to an AI.
Typos & Names: Correcting a misspelled name or specific medical term
Missing Data Points: Adding a specific lab value or BP reading you forgot to say out loud
Personal Preference: Swapping a specific word for one you prefer (e.g., "Patient reports" vs. "Patient states")
2. Magic Edit: The Structural Transformer
Magic Edit is your power tool for when the content is correct, but the presentation is wrong. Instead of re-typing, you tell the AI what to change.
Change Format: Instantly convert a SOAP note into an H&P.
Add Special Instructions: Ask the AI to "make this 50% shorter", "expand on the Assessment and Plan", “focus on lower back pain”, “pain-focus this assessment as diabetes is treated by their PCP”, or change the note from third-person to first-person, etc.
3. Regenerate: The Fresh Start
Regeneration is a complete reset. Use this if the AI fundamentally misunderstood the encounter or if the note is riddled with inaccuracies.
Logical Errors: The AI attributed missed the primary complaint.
Hallucinations: If the AI included details that were never discussed in the transcript.
Quality Issues: If the phrasing feels unnatural or the note is disorganized.
💡 Pro-Tips for "One-Take" Documentation
While these tools are available, the goal is to get it right the first time. Use these tips to minimize post-note work:
Signpost Your Sections: Verbally saying "For the Physical Exam..." or "Moving to the Plan..." helps the AI categorize data perfectly, reducing the need for Magic Edits.
State Your Preferred Format Early: Ensure your default settings are set to your preferred style (SOAP, H&P, etc.) so you don't have to use Magic Edit to switch formats later.
The "30-Second Rule": If a manual Edit will take you more than 30 seconds, use Magic Edit. If Magic Edit still feels like it’s working with a "broken" foundation, hit Regenerate.
Verify Audio Hygiene: Clear audio reduces the typos that lead to Manual Edits. Keep the device central to you and the patient.
