Understanding the color system
Each highlight includes an inline comment explaining what happened. For yellow and red highlights, the comment also explains what you could have done differently.
Types of annotations
Skill recognition
When you use a technique well, the AI tags it:- ”✓ Open-ended question”
- ”✓ Empathic reflection”
- ”✓ Effective summarization”
- ”✓ Active listening demonstrated”
Constructive suggestions
For yellow highlights, you’ll see improvement recommendations:- “Consider exploring the emotional impact here”
- “This would be a good opportunity to summarize”
- “Try using more open-ended phrasing”
Clinical insights
The AI notes clinically significant moments:- “Important symptom mentioned — good follow-up”
- “Risk factor identified — ensure thorough assessment”
- “Differential diagnosis consideration demonstrated”
Communication patterns
Observations about your overall style:- “Question density high — allow more space for patient”
- “Good pacing in this section”
- “Rapport-building evident”
How to use your annotated transcript
1
Read through completely first
Read the full transcript without stopping at every annotation. This lets you recall the flow of the conversation and notice overall patterns.
2
Focus on red and yellow highlights
These need your attention. Read the AI’s explanation for each, consider the alternative approach it suggests, and look for patterns — one yellow is fine, the same issue appearing ten times is something to work on.
3
Study your green highlights
Understand why those moments were effective. These are techniques you can replicate deliberately in future sessions.
4
Create an action plan
Identify 2–3 specific areas to improve, note techniques that worked well, and plan how to address gaps in your next session.
Common annotation themes to watch for
Question types- Closed questions that could be opened
- Leading questions to avoid
- Multiple questions asked at once (choose one)
- Effective exploratory questions
- Missed opportunities for empathic response
- Strong validation statements
- Premature reassurance (jumping to solutions before the patient feels heard)
- Appropriate normalizing
- Thorough vs. incomplete history taking
- Risk assessment completeness
- Symptom exploration depth
- Important details followed up
