Features

Most scribes stop at the note.The work doesn’t.

Capturing the consultation is only the beginning. Medspec turns it into letters, clinical notes and reports, creates dynamic summaries and creates the follow-up work your team needs to complete.

01 · Capture

Say it once.

Documentation is often created twice: once during the consultation and again afterwards from memory. The second pass consumes time and risks losing detail. Medspec is designed to make it unnecessary.

Voice dictation and ambient consultation capture

Two ways to talk: to Medspec, or just to the patient.

Dictate directly when you want precise control over what is included, or let Medspec capture the consultation as it happens. You speak naturally with the patient while Medspec prepares the documentation from the conversation.

Advanced voice processing

Built to recognise clinical terminology and context.

Medspec recognises clinical terminology, medicine names, anatomy, abbreviations and Australian pronunciation. It also retains context across the consultation, so information mentioned earlier remains relevant when referred to later.

Voice allowances to suit different workloads

How much dictation your plan includes.

Voice allowances vary by plan, from occasional dictation to high-volume consultation capture. See the pricing page for the plans.

Text-based generation

Not everything starts with a microphone.

Paste rough notes, type a few lines or bring text across from another source. Medspec applies the same document-generation workflow without using your voice allowance. This is ideal for structured technical reports with initial raw technical data, such as Holter or EEG reports.

02 · Draft

The document

A consultation produces documents others may act on and a clinical record the care team will rely on. This need to be accurate, current and ready when the consultation ends. We create a primary document that is approved by the clinician.

Dynamic Clinical Summary

The record, reconciled from your verified document.

Dynamic summary provides existing clinical record rather than starting from a blank summary on your review. After a new consultation, it compares the new data against existing medical summary and proposes structured updates to relevant history, conditions, medicines, allergies, investigations and social information.

Letters, notes, reports and patient documents

One consultation. Many documents.

Medspec can generate referral, reply letters, clinical notes, procedure reports, patient correspondence, preparation instructions and care-team updates from the same consultation. Each document follows the structure, level of detail and formality suited to its recipient.

Templates

Common documents, already structured. Or create your own.

Start with structured templates for common letters, notes and reports, then adapt them to suit your practice. Medspec can also build a new template from examples of your existing documents or from instructions you provide. If it needs further refinement, hands-on Template Support is available to every customer.

Automatic tasks

The follow-up tasks created on the fly.

Medspec identifies potential follow-up work from the consultation. Just say “TASK” and provide the request, such as arranging a review, sending a referral, ordering an investigation or contacting the patient with a result. Medspec will create a task automatically and you can review and allocate the task to any user or user group (such as reception, or practice manager) within the platform.

03 · Make it yours

Your name is on it.

We believe quality matter. A generic letter is not that. Two things make a document yours: its shape and its voice. The shape is the structure—its sections, order and presentation. The voice is the way you phrase information, the level of detail you use and how formally you write to colleague. Combine it with a print-ready document using your own letterhead and signature, and the result is unmistakably yours.

The shape

Sections, order and structure

Set once by your clinic, or built from your own documents.

The voice

Phrasing, formality and rhythm

Your pattern. One block, attached to as many templates as you like.

The document

Ready

Signatures, headers, footers, logos.

Custom template generator

Allow Medspec to build your template.

Upload five to ten examples of a specific letter, note or report type you use. Medspec analyses the format, section order and presentation to build a reusable template. You can also instruct Medspec to create a template from scratch by outlining your needs.

Personal writing profile

Your writing style, applied automatically.

Built from your previous documents, your personsalisation block captures the phrases, sentence style and degree of formality you typically use. It can be applied across multiple templates, including clinic-wide templates.

Letterheads, Signatures – Print Ready

Your identity, built into every document.

Create letterheads using your logo, locations, contact details and footer information. Each user can create and utilize a signature with their documents. Preview your final document and print it out during the consultation and hand it to your patient or export as a PDF.

Document editor

A full editor with images.

Edit rich text, with the ability to heavily customise your text.

Clinical images can be inserted directly into the document and annotated using built-in tools, allowing a finding to be shown rather than only described.

04 · The practice

Built for one clinician—or an entire healthcare organisation

Medspec can serve a solo clinician with support staff or an entire multisite organisaton. Choose between individual or organisational accounts. With role-based access and location or clinician-based filtering.

Who is on the account

Account types

Individual or organisation account to suit your circumstances.

Individual accounts still provide rooms for your support staff at no additional cost. Organisational accounts provide ability to add several clinicians, support staff and manage clinician licenses. Organisations can re-allocate licenses to locum staff and other clinicians at no added cost. Manage shared templates, headers and footers – organisation wide. Practice managers, receptionists, nurses and administrative staff can receive their own role-based accounts to manage documents, appointments and tasks. Review account limits on the pricing page.

Multi-location support

More than one site without more than one system.

Organise users, patients, documents and worklists by practice location. Clinicians and support staff can view the relevant work for the location in which they are working.

The Workflow tools

Tasks

Follow-up work, assigned and tracked through completion.

An accepted follow-up becomes a task linked to the document and patient. Assign it to a clinician or support team member, set a due date and track it through completion. Create tasks on the fly from your phone with ability to attach photos or voice notes.

Address book

The people and organisations your practice writes to, kept in one place.

Maintain a shared list of referrers or important contacts for document sharing, especially useful for dentists and allied health providers. Staff can select a current contact rather than retyping details each time.

Secure distribution

Securely distributed documents are not sent as email attachments.

Send a document to a saved contact or one-off recipient using a secure link. The recipient verifies access with a one-time passcode and views the document in a protected recipient portal. The shared link remains in your complete control, with the ability to view the read receipts, revoke access or change the link expiry date.

From there, the recipient can print it, download a PDF or copy the content into their own system. The document does not remain as an unprotected attachment in an email inbox.

05 · Getting started

The first week is the one that matters.

The success of documentation software is often determined early. If setup remains unfinished or the output does not fit the clinician, adoption quickly falls away. Medspec’s onboarding is designed to resolve both from the beginning.

Guided onboarding

We walk you through the setup.

A structured onboarding process is available and encouraged. We help configure your templates, personal writing profile and team roles.

Support

We build the first templates with you.

We help configure your initial templates and document workflows so your first working documents are ready during onboarding. This support is included on every plan.

For future changes, you can activate Template Support from within the Medspec portal. Our team can work directly on the relevant templates, making updates faster and avoiding unnecessary calls or back-and-forth.

Centralised billing

One invoice across the organisation.

Organisation accounts receive a single account-level invoice covering clinician licences and additional modules.

06 · Trust

What happens to the patient recordings?

There are no stored patient recordings. Speech is transcribed in real time as it is spoken.

Ambient recordings are not stored

No consultation audio file is retained.

Audio is transcribed in real time and is not written to persistent storage. Medspec retains the transcript and approved documents according to your clinic’s retention settings. You decide on the data retention policy through the Medspec admin control panel.

Onshore processing and data residency

Clinical data processed and stored locally.

Clinical data is processed and stored using infrastructure hosted locally. This data residency applies across every Medspec plan.

Encryption

Encrypted in transit and at rest.

Data is encrypted while moving between your device and Medspec and while stored within the platform. Access is controlled through authenticated, role-based permissions. This has been independently tested and verified by external security teams.

Designed around the Australian Privacy Principles

Designed to support Australian healthcare practices in meeting obligations under the Australian Privacy Principles.

Medspec is designed around Australian data residency, controlled access, configurable retention and documented subprocessors to support Australian privacy obligations.
