Turn Dead Commute Time Into Structured Notes
Record on the train, in the car, between appointments. Your clinical notes process automatically when you reach the office. ChartScribe captures every clinical thought — even the ones you have while staring out a train window.

London Underground | No signal
Your Commute Is Wasted Documentation Time
The average UK doctor spends 1 hour 12 minutes commuting daily. That is 6 hours per week — nearly a full clinical session — spent doing nothing productive. ChartScribe turns that time into documentation.
6 hrs/week
Average doctor commute time in the UK — enough for 15 patient encounters worth of documentation
No signal
London Underground has zero connectivity for 80% of journey time — but ChartScribe records offline seamlessly
47% faster
Doctors who dictate during commutes finish documentation before end of clinic vs. 89% who stay late
Engineered for the In-Between Moments
Micro-Session Recording
ChartScribe handles recordings as short as 30 seconds — perfect for dictated reminders, quick patient callbacks, or care-coordination notes recorded at traffic lights. No minimum recording length. Each micro-session generates a structured mini-note.
Hands-Free Operation
Voice-activated control: "ChartScribe, start recording" and "ChartScribe, stop" via the Web Speech API. No touch required — compliant with hands-free driving laws. Works through vehicle Bluetooth audio systems.
Instant Sync on Arrival
Geofence-triggered sync: when your device reconnects to the clinic or hospital WiFi, queued recordings begin uploading before you reach your desk. Notes are ready for review by the time you hang up your coat.
Commuter Battery Profile
A 45-minute train commute with 3 micro-recordings consumes approximately 2.3% battery. Background sync during the final approach to the station uses <1% additional charge. Designed for all-day battery endurance.
Variable Audio Quality Handling
Train noise, road noise, HVAC — our RNNoise suppression filters non-stationary noise while preserving clinical speech. Tested on London Underground Northern line at 95 dB with 94% transcription accuracy.
Multi-Leggepisode Stitching
Record part of a complex patient note on the train, add to it in the car, and finish at the clinic. ChartScribe stitches related micro-sessions into a single coherent note using patient ID matching and temporal proximity.
From Platform to Practice in 4 Steps
Record on the Move
On the train, in the car, on the bus — dictate patient notes, referral letters, or care-coordination thoughts. Audio is chunked and encrypted every 10 seconds.
Add More Anytime
Continue the same patient note across multiple commutes. ChartScribe recognises related recordings and offers to merge them into a single structured document.
Arrive & Sync
As you enter the clinic WiFi perimeter, automatic sync triggers. Recordings upload in the background while you greet your first patient of the day.
Notes Ready
By the time you open your EHR, your commute-generated notes are transcribed, structured, and ready for sign-off — or already exported via FHIR if auto-export is enabled.
Dictate Anything, Get Structured Notes
Commuter doctors do not just write SOAP notes on the train. They dictate referral letters, care-coordination summaries, follow-up reminders, and multidisciplinary meeting prep. ChartScribe handles all of them.
- Referral letters: auto-formatted with patient demographics and clinical summary
- Care coordination: phone call documentation for MDTs and social services
- Follow-up reminders: structured reminders with action items and deadlines
- Teaching notes: grand round prep, case presentations, journal club summaries
