Transcript Search allows clinicians to quickly locate key information within an encounter transcript using keyword-based search. This feature is designed to save time and reduce scrolling—especially for users managing long or complex visits—by helping them confirm details before finalizing their notes.
With a built-in search bar inside the transcript modal, clinicians can instantly jump to relevant portions of a conversation, such as medications, procedures, or social history, without navigating through the entire transcript manually.
