VascuNote turns raw speech-to-text dictation into a clean, formatted consult letter ready to paste into MedAccess — in seconds.
VascuNote reproduces your dictation word-for-word — it never adds, removes, or rephrases anything. It only applies layout:
• Section labels ending with a colon (e.g. Past Medical History:) are automatically bolded.
• Three or more comma-separated items after a header are converted to a dash list.
• Opening checklist items, CVD checklists, and Sclerotherapy consent sections are italicised.
• Missing end-of-sentence periods are added and double spaces are removed.
After formatting, click Check Grammar to review suggested corrections. Each suggestion shows the original phrase (red strikethrough) and the correction (green). Click a suggestion row to jump to that location in the letter and highlight it. Accept with ✓ or skip with ✕. Apply all at once with Apply all.
If your speech-to-text engine consistently mishears a word, add a substitution in Settings. For example: die beat ease → diabetes. Substitutions are applied before formatting so the AI always receives the correct text.
You can also select any word in the formatted letter with your mouse — a small popup appears letting you add it as a substitution on the spot.
Substituted words are highlighted in amber in the output. Use the ◀ ▶ arrows to navigate between them in case you want to verify the correction was appropriate.
VascuNote uses the Anthropic Claude API to format your letters. You need your own API key — get one free at console.anthropic.com. Enter it once in Settings and it's saved in your browser.
Each letter costs approximately $0.003 USD to format. Your dictation text goes directly from your browser to Anthropic — it is never stored by VascuNote.
• Speak section labels clearly and end them with a colon: "Past Medical History colon…"
• Lists work best when items are clearly separated: "hypertension comma diabetes comma high cholesterol"
• The formatter works best when your dictation follows the same structure as the example letters your administrator has set up.
• If the output isn't quite right, you can edit it directly in the right panel before copying.
Your dictation text is sent to Anthropic's API for formatting and is not stored by VascuNote. Anthropic retains API inputs for up to 30 days for safety review, then deletes them. Your substitutions and account data are stored securely in your own private account. Formatted letters are never stored anywhere — they exist only in your browser during your session.
