My note is taking a long time

Most notes are written shortly after the visit uploads. Longer recordings, and the first visit after a quiet spell, can take a few minutes. You can leave the page; the note keeps writing and appears in Visits.

What’s normal

After you end a visit, SOAPsuds uploads it and then writes the note. Visits shows Writing the note for and the patient’s name, and the note opens by itself when it’s ready.

After about a minute and a half, the message changes to The note is taking longer than usual. That isn’t an error. Longer recordings, and the first visit after a quiet spell, can take a few minutes.

Once the visit has uploaded, closing SOAPsuds won’t stop the note. You can see the next patient and come back to it in Visits.

Check it hasn’t got stuck before the upload

If the note couldn’t be written

If you see We couldn’t write this note, the audio is saved. Open the visit and press Try again. If it still fails, email support@soapsuds.io or call +1 (703) 496 3202. Tell us the date and time of the visit, not the patient’s name.

Spend less time on notes, more time with patients.
