How it works
From the consultation to a note you sign
Six steps, four of them yours. Sard listens, transcribes and drafts; you review, correct and sign. Nothing reaches a record until you have.
The visit, end to end
Six steps, in order
-
Open the visit
A name and a national ID. A patient who has been before keeps the same record, so the second visit is a follow-up rather than a second file.
-
Ask for consent
Recording does not start until the patient agrees to this visit. The consent is written once, with who gave it and when, and cannot be edited afterwards.
-
Record the consultation
Speak normally. Arabic, English, or both in the same sentence — Sard follows the consultation rather than expecting it to pick a language.
-
Sard drafts
The transcript first, then the note from the transcript. Each line cites the turn it came from, and a line Sard cannot tie to something that was said does not appear.
-
Review and correct
Every field is yours to change. What you type is marked as yours, so the next person reading the note can tell your words from the draft.
-
Sign
The note freezes. If it needs correcting later, the correction is recorded beside it with your reason — never written over the note you signed.
The trace
Every line knows where it came from
Point at a line of the note, or move to its mark, and the words it came from light up beside it. A line that cannot be tied to something that was said is not in the note at all.
Try it: point at a line, or press Tab to reach a mark.
What was said
- Clinician What brings you in today?
- Patient ظهري من تحت — my lower back. Three days now, since I lifted something heavy at home.
- Clinician Any numbness or weakness in the legs? Any fever?
- Patient لا، ولا إشي — nothing like that. Just the pain.
- Clinician I'll give you something for the pain, and if it hasn't settled in two weeks I'll send you to physiotherapy.

The margin
Three marks, learned once
The margin is how a note is read at speed. Learn what each mark means once, and after that you scan the margin instead of checking every line.
-
Said in the consultation
From the consultation. The line cites the turn it came from, and the mark opens it.
-
Inferred by Sard
Sard concluded this rather than heard it, and it is set on a tint, never in the clinician’s voice. An impression Sard suggests is recorded this way only if you accept it.
-
Needs you
Safety-relevant and not yet documented — a drug named without a dose, for one. Sard leaves it for you and marks it, and it is the first thing the review asks you to look at.
-
No mark: written by you
Written by you. A human hand needs no justification, so your words carry no mark.
The recording
What happens to the audio
-
Consent first
Recording does not start until the patient agrees to this visit. The consent is written once, with who gave it and when, and cannot be edited afterwards.
-
Saved as you speak
The audio goes up in pieces while the visit is still going, and the recorder shows how much of it is already saved.
-
Not readable from a browser
No browser can read the recording back — not even yours. Only our own server reads it, to transcribe it.
