Text assist

A rewrite control on free-text fields. It takes text you wrote and re-expresses it.

The five modes

Mode	What it does
Concise	Tightens without losing content
Expand	Fills out abbreviated notes into full sentences
Medical terminology	Converts lay wording to clinical terms
Professional	Adjusts register for a formal record
Spelling and grammar	Corrects only; wording otherwise untouched

The rule

It may only re-express information already present. It never adds clinical content.

Expand does not mean invent. Asked to expand "SOB on exertion, improving", it will write that out properly — it will not add a respiratory rate, a differential, or a detail you did not give it.

Privacy

Only the text in that one field is sent, plus the field's label so the model knows what it is rewriting. Nothing else from the report goes with it.

Because the input is narrative rather than structured findings, text assist uses the strict redaction setting — as well as the usual identifier stripping, any capitalised pair of words is reduced to initials before the text leaves your device, and the same rules run again on the server. Input is capped at 4,000 characters. See What gets sent.

Using it

Write your note, then use the rewrite control on the field. You get the rewritten version to accept or reject; your original is not overwritten until you accept it.

What to check

• Medical terminology mode changes meaning if the original was ambiguous. Where your wording could map to more than one clinical term, check which one it picked.
• Concise mode drops things you may have wanted. Check nothing clinically load-bearing was tightened away.
• The record should still sound like you. A note in a voice that is not yours is harder to stand behind later.

Why it cannot be queued

Text assist is not offered for queueing when there is no signal. A queued rewrite would return later and land on text you have since edited — replacing your newer words with a rewrite of your older ones. Rewrite when you have a connection.
