V.1.0
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.
