Neela Scribe
Let Neela listen and summarize appointments
Neela Scribe is an AI appointment recorder built for family caregivers. With one tap, Scribe listens during medical appointments, prenatal visits, pediatric checkups, therapy sessions, and important care conversations, then creates a structured written summary you can revisit, search, and share with siblings, spouses, or your care network. Stay present with your family instead of taking frantic notes.
Whatever the appointment, the details are captured, organized, and ready the moment you walk out.
Who Neela Scribe is built for
Scribe works for any family managing health across every life stage.
New and expectant parents. Prenatal visits, postpartum checkups, and pediatric appointments move fast and cover a lot. Scribe captures the growth notes, feeding guidance, and next steps so you can focus on your baby, not the clipboard.
Parents of growing kids. Well-child visits, specialist referrals, developmental checkups, and therapy sessions. Scribe keeps the instructions and follow-ups in one place so both parents stay on the same page.
Spouses and partners. Heading to an appointment together? Let Scribe handle the summary so you can focus on the conversation and the questions that matter.
Adult children caring for aging parents. Cardiology visits, memory care appointments, primary care follow-ups. Scribe captures the conversation so you can be fully present with your parent.
Siblings coordinating from a distance. Couldn't make the appointment? Get the Scribe summary in seconds and stay in the loop without a play-by-play phone call.
Why Scribe exists
Appointments and care conversations move quickly and cover a lot: instructions, follow-ups, medication changes, recommendations. Even when you are paying close attention, asking good questions, and keeping track of everyone in the room, it is easy for a detail to slip past in the moment.
Scribe gives you a reliable record so you are not depending on memory or hurried notes. It turns spoken conversations into clear, structured summaries you can pull up anytime. It is not a replacement for official medical records. It is a way to stay organized and confident between visits.
What Scribe does
With one tap, Scribe listens to the conversation and creates a concise summary, so the important parts are captured without you writing anything down.
Scribe:
- Captures key instructions and next steps
- Summarizes changes, concerns, and recommendations
- Organizes information into clear sections
- Lets you review exactly what was said after the appointment
This makes it easier to follow care plans, track changes over time, and share accurate information with loved ones or your care network.
How do I record a doctor's appointment for a family member?
Open the Neela app, tap Scribe, and press record at the start of the appointment. Scribe listens through your phone's microphone, processes the conversation in real time, and creates a structured summary in the app. You don't need a separate recorder, a notebook, or to ask the doctor to repeat themselves. The summary is ready by the time you walk out of the office, and it's saved alongside your family's other care information so you can pull it up later when you need it.
Does Scribe work for prenatal, pediatric, and therapy appointments?
Yes. Scribe works for any spoken health conversation, not just visits for older adults. Parents use it for prenatal and postpartum visits, well-child checkups, developmental screenings, and pediatric specialist referrals. It also works for therapy and mental health sessions where treatment plans and next steps are discussed. Anywhere a provider is giving instructions you want to remember, Scribe can capture the summary.
How accurate are Scribe summaries?
Scribe is built to capture the substance of a conversation: the instructions, changes, and next steps that matter most, organized into clear sections. It focuses on meaning rather than transcribing every word, so the summary reads as useful notes instead of a raw transcript. As with any AI tool, we recommend reviewing the summary while the appointment is fresh and confirming anything critical directly with your provider. Scribe is a support for your memory, not a substitute for medical advice or official records.
How Neela uses Scribe for personalized support
Neela doesn't just record audio. The audio itself isn't saved, but it's processed in real time so Neela can:
- Extract the most important points
- Organize those points into helpful sections
- Present the summary in plain language
Because summaries live in the app, Neela can later use that information to tailor guidance based on what was actually discussed during your appointment. Over time, this means Neela understands your family's care picture without you having to re-explain it each time. Ask a follow-up question weeks later and the context is already there.
Is it legal to record a medical appointment?
Recording laws vary by state. Most states follow one-party consent, meaning you can legally record a conversation you are part of without the other party's permission. A handful of states (including California, Florida, and Pennsylvania) require all parties to consent. Check your state's recording laws before using any recording tool. As a courtesy, we recommend asking your provider at the start of the appointment, especially if you plan to share the summary with family.
Do I need to tell the doctor I'm recording?
It depends on your state. In one-party consent states, you are not legally required to, because you are part of the conversation. In all-party consent states, you do need everyone's agreement first. Regardless of where you live, a quick heads-up to your provider at the start of the visit is good practice, and most are comfortable with it, especially when you explain you want to share accurate notes with family.
How is Neela Scribe different from a voice recorder app?
Voice recorder apps store audio. Neela Scribe processes audio in real time and saves only a structured written summary, organized into sections like instructions, medication changes, and next steps. Audio is never stored on a server.
Scribe is:
- Designed for appointments and important health discussions
- Structured to highlight what matters most, not every word
- Integrated into your caregiving workflow inside Neela
- Mobile-focused for on-the-go use
Because summaries live inside Neela, the app can help you make sense of a provider's instructions over time and remember what was discussed, so you don't have to rely on recall alone. Instead of scrolling through long transcripts or recordings, you get clear, organized notes you can return to whenever you need them.
How to Use Scribe (Mobile)
Step 1: Open Scribe
From the dashboard, tap the Scribe tile.
Step 2: Start listening
Tap the record button and let Neela listen during your appointment or discussion.
Step 3: Let Neela summarize

How do I share appointment summaries with siblings or family?
Every Neela Scribe summary can be shared with anyone you invite to your Neela account. Siblings, spouses, and your care network see the same structured notes you do, so nobody has to ask "what did the doctor say?" after the visit. You can also export individual summaries to share outside the app.
