AI Medical Scribe – Initial Prototype Release

This is the first public prototype of AI Medical Scribe, a browser-based, local-first tool for consultation transcription, summarisation, and document drafting.

Highlights

  • Live transcription using Chrome speech recognition
  • On-device AI summaries using Chrome Prompt API
  • Document drafting from transcript content
  • Session history with full local persistence
  • No backend – everything runs and stores data in the browser

Key Characteristics

  • Fully local-first: no server, no external AI services used by this project
  • Built on experimental Chrome built-in AI APIs (Gemini Nano)
  • Designed as a proof-of-concept for real-time consultation workflows

Important Notes

  • Requires a recent Chrome build (Canary recommended)
  • Requires enabling Chrome AI flags
  • First use may trigger a large on-device model download
  • Not supported on mobile browsers
  • Not suitable for clinical use

Known Limitations

  • Dependent on evolving Chrome experimental APIs
  • Performance depends on local hardware
  • Speech recognition behaviour varies by browser

Getting Started

See the README for setup instructions, including:

  • Running on localhost
  • Enabling Chrome flags
  • Verifying model availability

Purpose of This Release

This release is intended to:

  • Demonstrate feasibility of a fully local AI medical scribe
  • Explore Chrome’s on-device AI capabilities
  • Provide a base for further iteration and experimentation

Feedback, issues, and ideas are welcome.
