Getting started with Dentascribe
A tour of the main parts of Dentascribe: Scribe, Tasks, Template library, Import a template, and Settings.
1. Scribe
Scribe is where you write notes and letters. Open a new appointment for each patient in your day. From an appointment, you can transcribe, write a clickable note, generate a letter, or check next steps.
2. Tasks
Dentascribe automatically scans your transcripts and clinical records and identifies tasks such as referrals and letters to send. Open Tasks from the sidebar to see outstanding follow-up across your patients.
3. Template library
Open Template library to see your note and letter templates. Dentascribe includes 40+ pre-built templates covering all aspects of general dentistry. Templates can be edited, shared, and duplicated. You can also favourite templates to make them easier to find later.
4. Import a template
Dentascribe lets you use your own note and letter templates with our AI, so it generates documentation that you're comfortable with. Open Import a template, select whether you're importing a clinical note or a patient letter, then paste your template or a complete record.
5. Settings
Open Settings from the sidebar. Use Preferences for display size, notation, and similar options. Use Personalisation for writing style, snippets, and practice profiles. Billing, privacy, and Practice (for shared templates and consolidated team billing) are also here.
Questions
Should I use audio notes or clickable notes?
Most of our users now use audio recording and AI generation because it's quicker, produces more accurate notes, and doesn't need a nurse to click through templates. If you'd rather not use audio recording, you can still use our interactive templates to click through notes.
Do I need to import a template before my first appointment?
No. You can start with one of our pre-built templates. Importing a note or letter you already use is the fastest way to get documentation you're comfortable with.
Where do I change how letters show my name and practice?
Go to Settings > Personalisation and edit a practice profile. That profile is used when you generate or export a letter.
