What matters for the medical record is what happens next: the review step where the doctor reads, corrects, and approves it before it is saved, and why that step is not optional in CuraVerto. Search for "AI scribe accuracy" and most results promise a percentage. The more useful question for a doctor in India deciding whether to trust an AI with the medical record is a different one: what actually happens between the moment the AI finishes transcribing and the moment that note becomes part of a patient's file. In CuraVerto, the answer is a review step the doctor cannot skip, and it exists for a specific reason, not as a formality. ## What happens between "Start Scribe" and a note that is actually saved A dictated consultation does not turn into a permanent clinical record by itself. Four things happen in between, and the last one belongs to the doctor, not the AI. - **1. Dictation** The doctor starts the recording inside the patient's consultation screen and speaks with the patient normally, with no scripted format or special phrasing required. - **2. Transcription** The audio is converted to text by a speech model tuned for medical speech, including Indian-accent English and doctors who switch between English and a regional language mid-sentence. - **3. Structuring** The transcript is organised into a draft note covering chief complaint, findings, assessment, and plan, billed at ₹1 per minute of audio from the clinic's prepaid wallet. - **4. Doctor review** The draft is not saved to the patient record until the doctor reads it, corrects it, and approves it. This is the step the rest of this article is about. ## Why the review step is not optional A clinical record needs a single accountable author. That is true whether the note was typed by the doctor, dictated to a human transcriptionist, or drafted by an AI listening to the consultation. CuraVerto's AI Scribe produces a draft, not a record. The draft only becomes part of the patient's file once the treating doctor has read it and approved it, the same way a doctor would review and sign a note a junior colleague or a transcriptionist had typed up. This is a deliberate product decision, not a technical limitation. It would be straightforward to auto-save the AI's output the moment transcription finishes. CuraVerto does not do that, because a note nobody checked is not a medical record, it is a transcript with a diagnosis-shaped label on it. The review step is what turns the second into the first. ## What a doctor is actually correcting in that review In practice, the review is not a rubber stamp. A consultation room is noisy, patients describe symptoms in their own words, and an AI model has no way to record what it cannot hear. The doctor's edit typically covers a short, predictable list. - **Findings the AI never heard** Blood pressure, pulse, weight, and anything observed during a physical examination has to be typed in, because AI Scribe transcribes speech, it does not examine the patient. - **Drug names and dosages** Brand names and dosage figures spoken quickly or in a mixed accent are the most common transcription slip, and the first thing a doctor checks before approving a note that feeds into a prescription. - **Clinical terminology** A patient's own words for a symptom get restated in standard clinical language, the same editorial step a doctor makes writing the note by hand. - **Anything said off the record** Small talk, a phone interruption, or a side comment picked up by the microphone that has no place in the clinical note gets removed. ## Works where the consultation actually happens: Safari and iOS Plenty of browser-based dictation tools are built and tested against Chrome on a desktop, then work poorly the moment a doctor tries them on an iPad at the examination table or an iPhone at a smaller clinic with no desktop at all. CuraVerto's AI Scribe runs in Safari and on iOS as well as Chrome, so dictation and the review screen work on whatever device is already in the room, instead of forcing a clinic to add a Windows or Android machine just to use the scribe. ## What the review step costs, and what it does not With CuraVerto: AI Scribe is metered at ₹1 per minute of consultation audio from the clinic's prepaid wallet, and that is the only meter running. Reading the draft, correcting it, and approving it does not add to the bill, however long the doctor takes over it. The clock only runs during dictation. With CuraVerto: AI Scribe is included from the Pro plan at ₹24,999 a year, which covers unlimited doctors in one branch. The Essential plan at ₹9,999 a year does not include it. All prices are exclusive of GST. | Step | What it costs | | --- | --- | | Dictation (audio recorded) | ₹1 per minute, from the prepaid wallet | | Transcription and note structuring | Included in the per-minute rate | | Doctor review and edits | No additional charge, regardless of time spent | | Saving the approved note to the record | No additional charge | ## What CuraVerto's AI Scribe will not do An AI scribe listens and drafts. It does not diagnose, does not recommend a treatment, and does not decide what belongs in the patient's record, the doctor does that in the review step. CuraVerto does not publish an accuracy percentage for the same reason a doctor's own handwriting was never rated by one: the number that matters is whether the doctor reviewed and stands behind what got saved, not a marketing statistic about the draft that came before it. There is also no path that skips the doctor. CuraVerto does not offer an auto-save setting that writes the AI's draft straight to the patient record without a human confirming it, for any plan or any specialty. ### Related reading - [AI Scribe: Built Into the EMR vs a Standalone Tool](https://curaverto.com/blog/ai-scribe-built-into-emr-vs-standalone) - [CuraVerto pricing plans](https://curaverto.com/pricing) ## Frequently asked questions ### Does the doctor have to review every AI Scribe note before it is saved? Yes. CuraVerto's AI Scribe produces a draft attached to the consultation, and that draft is not saved to the patient's record until the doctor reads it, edits anything necessary, and approves it. There is no setting that saves the AI's output automatically. ### Does reviewing and editing the note cost extra? With CuraVerto: No. AI Scribe is billed at ₹1 per minute of consultation audio from the clinic's prepaid wallet. Reading, correcting, and approving the draft afterward does not add to that charge, however long it takes. ### Who is responsible for the clinical record if an AI helped write it? The treating doctor. CuraVerto's AI Scribe is a drafting tool: it transcribes and structures what was said in the consultation, but the note only becomes part of the patient's file once the doctor has reviewed and approved it. The doctor's review is what makes it their record, not the AI's transcription. ### Does CuraVerto's AI Scribe work on iPad or iPhone, or only on a Chrome desktop? It works in Safari and on iOS as well as Chrome, so dictation and review work on whatever device is already in the consultation room, an iPad, an iPhone, or a desktop, without needing a separate machine just for the scribe. ### What plan includes AI Scribe? With CuraVerto: AI Scribe is included from the Pro plan at ₹24,999 a year, which covers unlimited doctors in one branch; usage is then metered at ₹1 per minute from the prepaid wallet. The Essential plan at ₹9,999 a year does not include it. All prices are exclusive of GST. ### Can the AI Scribe suggest a diagnosis or treatment? No. It transcribes the consultation and structures a draft note from what was said. It does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment. Every clinical decision in the draft came from the doctor speaking it during the consultation, and the doctor reviews the draft before anything is saved. --- Canonical: https://curaverto.com/blog/ai-scribe-accuracy-review-workflow-india Contact: sales@curaverto.com This document is CuraVerto's own description of its product.
