Neela Scribe
Let Neela listen and summarize appointments
Neela Scribe is an AI doctor visit recorder built for family caregivers. With one tap, Scribe listens during medical appointments, prenatal visits, 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 loved one instead of taking frantic notes.
No more scrambling for notes or wondering if you missed something important.
Who Neela Scribe is built for
Adult children caring for aging parents. Cardiology visits, memory care appointments, primary care follow-ups. Scribe captures the conversation so you can hold mom's hand instead of taking notes.
Spouses and partners. Going to appointments with your husband or wife? Let Scribe handle the summary so you can focus on the conversation, not the clipboard.
Siblings coordinating from a distance. Couldn't make the appointment? Get the Scribe summary in seconds and stay in the loop without a phone call.
New and expectant parents. Prenatal visits and pediatric appointments move fast. Scribe captures the details so you can be present with your baby.
Why Scribe exists
Appointments and important conversations are often packed with details: instructions, follow-ups, side effects, recommendations. When you’re focused on listening, asking questions, and managing emotions, it’s normal to miss parts of what’s said or forget key points later.
Because stress affects the way memory works, people often leave appointments unsure they captured everything they need. Scribe helps by turning spoken conversations into structured summaries you can revisit anytime. It’s not a replacement for professional medical records, but it helps you stay organized and confident between visits.
What Scribe does
With one tap, Scribe listens to conversations and creates a concise summary, so you don’t have to rely on your memory alone.
Scribe:
- Captures key instructions and next steps
- Summarizes changes, concerns, and recommendations
- Organizes information in clear sections
- Lets you review 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 care teams.
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 loved one's other care information so you can pull it up later when you need it.
How Neela uses Scribe for personalized support
Neela doesn’t just record audio. While the audio itself isn’t saved, it’s processed in real time so Neela can:
- Extract the most important points
- Organize those points into helpful sections
- Present the summary in simple language
Because summaries live in the app, Neela can later use the information to tailor guidance based on what was discussed during your appointment.
Privacy, security, and control
Scribe is built with privacy in mind:
- Audio recordings are not stored
- Only the generated text summary is saved
- Data stays encrypted and secure
- You control what summaries remain in the app
This ensures sensitive information is handled responsibly and remains under your control.
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.
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 doctor visits 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 doctors’ 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 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.
