An AI medical scribe for Russian and English consultations
Russian-speaking patients often describe symptoms in Russian and pick up English words for tests and appointments, while their medical history may come from care received elsewhere. Russian is among the languages ClearPass detects automatically. It transcribes the conversation and writes the note in English; check it on your own patients in the trial.
How patients describe their health
Some habits of speech carry clinical weight. Many patients talk about 'davleniye' (pressure) as a condition in itself, and may mean high or low blood pressure or simply a headache they attribute to it. 'Serdtse pokalyvaet' describes a tingling or pricking feeling in the heart area that needs characterising like any chest pain. 'Angina' in Russian means tonsillitis, not angina pectoris, which is a classic source of error.
Say your interpretation aloud as you confirm it, so the transcript carries the clinical meaning and the note follows it.
Medicines and diagnoses from other systems
Patients may bring diagnoses and drug names from other health systems. Some are brand names you will not recognise, and some are diagnostic labels that do not map neatly onto the ones you use. The transcript keeps the words spoken; your note should use terms you would defend.
Ask for the active ingredient, or photograph the packet insert or a printed report. ClearPass reads clinical details from photos of lab and radiology reports; check every value that comes from a photo against the original.
- Read generic names aloud when the patient only knows the brand.
- Photographs are not auto-redacted; frame them to leave out names and numbers.
- Put uncertain old diagnoses in the history as reported, not as confirmed.
Numbers and script
Russian numbers change their endings with case and gender, and decimal values use a comma. Dates are day before month. The numbers check marks any figure in the note that was never spoken, but it cannot tell whether a spoken number was heard correctly, so repeat doses and readings clearly.
The transcript shows Russian in Cyrillic. Names, when transliterated, can be spelled several ways in Latin letters. Do not use a transcribed name to identify a patient, and leave names out where you can.
Try before you rely on it
Russian is detected automatically and can be mixed with English in the same visit. This page does not claim an accuracy figure. Accent, speed, noise and several people speaking all affect results. The 7-day trial is the right place to see how it performs with your patients.
Old test results and discharge papers
Patients often carry a folder of previous results and discharge summaries in Russian, with reference ranges and units that may differ from yours. Photographing them is quicker than reading each value aloud; check each value in the note against the printed report. Check each value in the draft against the paper, including the unit and the date of the test.
Russian abbreviations are common on these papers, for example ОАК for a full blood count or ЭКГ for an ECG. The English note should use your own terms; correct any abbreviation carried over from the source.
What ClearPass does not do
- It does not replace your judgement. Every note is an AI draft that you review and correct before it is used.
- It is not a medical device and does not make clinical decisions. It is a documentation aid.
- It does not connect to your EMR. The note is copy-ready text that pastes into any system.
- It does not write the note in Russian. The note comes out in English.
Privacy
Clinical note content is not stored on ClearPass servers: it is processed to write the note, then discarded. Consultation audio is transcribed and discarded, never stored. Your note history stays in your browser, on your device, and you choose how long it is kept. Common identifiers are removed from typed and transcribed text before it reaches the AI; that is a best-effort safeguard, so leave names, ID numbers and file numbers out where you can. Processing goes through the AI providers named in our Privacy Policy, which sets out exactly what each one receives and how long it keeps it. ClearPass does not sign HIPAA business associate agreements today.
Questions
What if the patient switches to Ukrainian or another related language?
Most languages are detected automatically and a visit can move between them. Closely related languages can be confused with each other, so read the transcript and the draft carefully, and test with your own patients during the trial.
Can I use it with a Russian-speaking interpreter?
Yes. Speaker separation labels the interpreter, the patient and you, and the note is built from the whole conversation.
Is Russian supported?
Russian is among the languages detected automatically. Test it with your own patients during the trial.
Will it confuse angina and tonsillitis?
It might, because the Russian word angina means tonsillitis. Check the history section and correct the draft if needed.
Is the note written in Russian?
No. The note is always in English.
