Dictation to draft: what happens in between
A walk through the pipeline that turns spoken findings into a structured report in your own template.
You dictate the way you always have. What changes is what happens in the two seconds after you stop talking. Here is the path a spoken finding takes on its way to a structured draft.
From audio to text to structure
The first step is transcription, which turns speech into raw text. That text is not yet a report. The second step is where the structure comes from: RadioPad reads the raw text and places each statement into the right section of your template, so a finding lands under findings and an impression lands under impression.
The template is yours. RadioPad does not impose a house format; it fills the one your department already uses.
Nothing is invented
The draft only contains what you said, reorganized. If you did not mention a comparison, the comparison section stays empty and the validation engine can flag it. The pipeline never adds a finding you did not dictate, because a report that invents content is worse than no draft at all.
You are still reading, not proofreading a stranger
By the time the draft appears, it is already in your structure and your words. That means the review step is a read, not a rewrite. You confirm the sections, resolve any flags, and sign. The point of the pipeline is not to replace that read. It is to make sure the read starts from something clean.
