How Do I Generate Notes or Letters in Another Language? (e.g. French, Spanish, Arabic)

Yes — PatientNotes supports generating notes, summaries, and letters in many languages, including French (Canadian). Whether you're seeing patients who speak another language or simply need output in a different language for reporting, here’s how to do it.

🛠️ 1. Add the Language to Your Prompt

To consistently generate notes in another language, simply edit your prompt to include an instruction like:

“Please write this summary in French (Canada).”

This works for clinical notes, letters, and reports. Once added, it will remember to generate all outputs in that language.

💬 2. For One-Off Language Requests

If you only need to generate a note in another language occasionally, here are your options:

• Letters: Use the “Additional Notes” field to add an instruction like:
  “Please write the letter in Arabic.”

• Clinical Notes: You can either:

  • Manually type in the correct language

  • Or add your language request at the bottom of the note in the “Additional Feedback” section before submission.

🎙️ 3. Recording in Another Language? Set It Before You Start

If you're speaking with a patient in a language other than English:

• Use the Language dropdown at the top of your session to choose the appropriate language (e.g. French (Canada), Spanish, Mandarin).

• 🗣️ Important: Both the clinician and the patient must be speaking the same language for accurate transcription.

🔍 Example Scenarios:

• “How do I generate notes in French?”

• “Can I write my reports in Arabic?”

• “What if my consultation is in Spanish?”

• “Support for non-English audio?”

✅ Summary:

• ✔️ Edit prompts to specify your desired language

• ✔️ Use Additional Notes or Feedback for one-off cases

• ✔️ Choose the correct language for recordings

• ✔️ Both speakers should speak the same language
