Keep the recording and the correction together
Obtain the consent your practice requires before recording and follow its retention rules. EzHomeo advertises practitioner-started recording and a reviewable mixed-language transcript; it warns that accuracy varies and review is required.
- Listen once for speakers, pauses and language changes. Keep the original audio available under your practice’s access rules.
- Read each transcript segment while replaying its audio. Mark uncertain words, negations, times, quantities and who said them; do not guess from context.
- Correct the transcript in the original language where possible. Record uncertainty if the audio remains ambiguous; ask the patient to clarify when clinically important.
- Compare each suggested symptom and rubric with the corrected statement. Reject, add or change suggestions only after checking their source and meaning.
- Review the final case record for what was actually said versus what was inferred. Keep diagnosis, treatment, dosage and follow-up decisions with the practitioner.
Before using patient audio, set up a synthetic transcript review in EzHomeo and practise checking language switches and negation.
Illustrative correction: one word changes the record
Synthetic example, not a real patient or validated AI output: a patient says, “Subah dard nahin hota; evening mein hota hai” (“There is no pain in the morning; it happens in the evening”). A draft transcript omits nahin and reads “Subah dard hota; evening mein hota hai.” Replaying the audio and restoring the negation changes the documented timing. Remove any morning-pain rubric inferred from the bad draft; do not automatically add an evening rubric without checking the patient’s meaning and the available source.
Stop when the source is uncertain
Noise, code-switching and similar-sounding clinical terms can change meaning. When a time, medication, negation or identity cannot be resolved from audio, mark it unresolved and clarify rather than manufacturing a clean transcript.Read EzHomeo’s documented controls and return to resources.
To try this correction pass in EzHomeo, open a practitioner account and use consented, representative audio.
