What is an AI scribe - and why are more and more vets using it?

From writer's block to AI assistance

Record keeping is an important part of a veterinarian's work - but also one of the most time-consuming. An AI scribe changes this completely. Instead of writing notes manually, note drafts are created automatically, in real time.

The guide on AI-assisted medical record-keeping for veterinarians describes the workflow from consultation to the signed medical record, as well as what the veterinarian needs to review in the draft.

What is an AI scribe?

An AI scribe is a digital tool that:

  • Listening during patient visits

  • Understands what is said and structures the information

  • Creates final note drafts based on the conversation

  • Follows templates, terminology and guidelines of your choice

It’s like having a smart secretary who writes down exactly what you want to say—without you having to take your hands off the animal. Would you prefer to dictate the notes yourself after the visit?

The guide on selecting an AI scribe for veterinarians describes the questions a clinic should ask before choosing an AI scribe, ranging from Swedish terminology to data security.
