Why is the toolbar changing?
The current toolbar has started to reach its limits - we want to add more functionality in the future, but simply adding more buttons would make it long and clunky. So our design team has rethought how the toolbar is structured to keep it easy to use and scalable.
Your new toolbar gives you:
More space and more features are accessible quickly ✨
A new, easy-to-use design 🤩
Accurx Scribe ready in one click from the toolbar ✍
A more powerful Accurx, with the toolbar built to allow us to release improvements more quickly in the future 💪

This opens the Accurx scribe window 🎤 Accurx Scribe uses AI to transcribe audio from a patient consultation or dictation and to summarise it into a structured form for medical notes. Clinicians can review and edit these notes, generate other documents, save these notes to the patient record and share documents with patients and other services.
