How do I Upload an Offline Recording/Transcription to Scribematic?
Overview
Scribematic is an AI-powered ambient scribe designed to capture provider–patient conversations and transform them into structured, EHR-ready medical documentation.
While most clinicians record visits directly within Scribematic, live recording requires a reliable internet connection. When internet access is limited or unavailable, Scribematic allows you to upload offline recordings or transcriptions for processing and note finalization.
