Short answer

How can I see if my medical note is ready?

Your AI uses the Abridge Connector to pull live updates on transcription and note generation tasks. It tells you if a recording is still being processed or if the final note is ready for review.

Status outcomes

Where your updates land.

The AI categorizes the state of your clinical documentation based on real-time data.

IN_PROGRESS

Active processing

The AI identifies recordings currently being transcribed or summarized. You'll know exactly how much work is left in the pipeline.

COMPLETED

Ready for review

Once the note is finished, your AI flags it as complete. You can then move straight to reviewing the clinical content.

FAILED

Action required

If a transcription fails, the AI alerts you immediately. This lets you re-upload or check the audio source without waiting.

HUMAN_REVIEW

Needs your eyes

The AI flags notes that require manual verification. You decide if the generated summary meets your clinical standards.
