Features Explained

This file is a practical operator-oriented overview of major Ped-AI features. It intentionally describes the current fork, not historical browser Whisper behavior.

Clinical Documentation

Ped-AI generates pediatric clinical notes from typed input, dictation, or recorded audio. Major workflows include live encounters, dictation cleanup, sick visits, well visits, SOAP notes, hospital courses, chart review, ED documentation, and developmental milestones.

Model selection is available per task where the UI exposes a tab-level selector. Admin defaults provide the baseline model and user/task choices can override that baseline.

Speech

Final transcription is server-side. Configure Google/Gemini, AWS Transcribe, LiteLLM, or OpenAI Whisper according to your deployment requirements.

Browser-native Web Speech is only an explicit opt-in preview path. It is not the final clinical transcript and may use browser-vendor cloud services.

Browser Whisper and browser-local model workers are removed. Do not expect a pre-download model button, public Whisper worker, or bundled Xenova model path.

Text To Speech

The voice preview button calls the configured TTS provider and plays the returned audio in the browser. If preview is silent, check that a voice is selected, a provider is configured, the user is authenticated, and browser autoplay has not blocked playback.

Learning Hub

Learning Hub is both a learner-facing content area and an admin/moderator CMS.

Articles and pearls render sanitized content.
Quizzes support single-answer, multi-select, and true/false questions.
Presentations use Marp-style markdown with preview and PPTX export.
AI generation can use topic text, uploaded source files, or connected Nextcloud WebDAV files.
Categories can organize content without deleting the content when category assignments change.

Nextcloud WebDAV

Users can connect a Nextcloud account with an app password. Learning Hub AI generation can browse files from the connected WebDAV account, and users can set a default browse path to avoid repeatedly navigating to the same clinical content folder.

Documents And S3

Document upload is optional and depends on S3-compatible storage configuration. Treat uploaded documents as PHI unless you have a separate deployment reason not to.

Audio Backups

Audio backups exist to recover failed transcription attempts.

They are created when transcription fails.
They are encrypted before persistent storage.
They expire automatically.
Users can retry or delete them from Settings.

Admin Panel

Admins can manage users, roles, registration, security settings, model defaults, prompts, logs, and Learning Hub content. Production deployments should enable SSO/2FA and restrict admin access.

Feature Status

Feature	Status	Notes
Clinical note generation	Active	Provider depends on `AI_PROVIDER`.
Server transcription	Active	Google/AWS/LiteLLM/OpenAI paths.
Browser Web Speech preview	Optional	Explicit opt-in only.
Browser Whisper	Removed	No public worker or model download path.
Learning Hub CMS	Active	Articles, pearls, quizzes, presentations.
Nextcloud WebDAV	Active	Used for file browsing/content import.
Audio backups	Active	Failure recovery only.
TTS preview	Active	Depends on configured provider.

Troubleshooting

Check browser console for frontend errors.
Check docker logs pediatric-ai-scribe -f for backend errors.
Check /api/health for service status.
Check provider credentials and model names before debugging UI state.
For Learning Hub file import failures, verify Nextcloud URL, username, app password, and folder path.
