The tool above turns a real consultation into a clean, structured SOAP notein seconds. It’s free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — on a laptop between patients or on your phone on the ward. Doctors, nurses, medical students and nursing students all use it the same way: to skip the blank page and start from a properly structured draft.
It’s the same note engine that powers Nimo inside the clinic, opened up so anyone can try it. New to the format, or want the full reference? Read the complete guide to SOAP notes — what each section is for, a fully annotated example, common mistakes and a clean template to copy.
Two ways in
Press record and stay present with the patient. Nimo listens, transcribes the conversation and writes a structured SOAP note straight into the editor.
Already scribbled something down? Paste your shorthand, half-sentences and abbreviations, and Nimo reorganises them into a clean, well-formatted SOAP note.
Either way you land in the same editor, where you review, adjust and copy the finished note into your EHR or records. The words stay yours — Nimo just handles the structure.
The four sections
SOAP is four sections, always in the same order. Each answers one question about the encounter:
S — Subjective
What the patient tells you — the story in their words.
O — Objective
What you measure and observe — vitals, examination, results.
A — Assessment
What you think is going on — your working diagnosis and reasoning.
P — Plan
What happens next — treatment, tests, follow-up and safety-net.
Want the depth — an annotated real example, how it changes across specialties, the mistakes to avoid? Read the full SOAP note guide.
Who it's for
Quick answers
Yes. You can create SOAP notes here for free, no card and no account. There’s a small daily limit to keep the tool fast for everyone — sign up free if you need more.
No. Open the page, record or paste, and copy your note. An account only becomes useful once you want to save notes, use your own templates, or lift the daily limit.
Yes — that’s the “Paste rough notes” option. Type or paste shorthand, half-sentences, abbreviations, whatever you jotted during the visit, and Nimo reorganises it into clean Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan sections for you to review.
Absolutely — it’s one of the fastest ways to learn the format. Draft a note, compare it against the four sections, and see where your reasoning was thin. Students, residents and qualified clinicians all use it the same way.
Your note isn’t linked to a patient record or to an account. Don’t enter details that identify a real patient — the free tool is for drafting and learning. See our privacy page for the full picture.
Nimo transcribes many languages and handles mixed speech like Hinglish or Manglish well. Leave the language on Auto-detect, or pick one before you record.
Yes — record, paste and copy all work in a mobile browser, no app to install. It’s the same tool doctors use inside Nimo, just without the sign-in.
No. Nimo writes the first draft so you don’t face a blank page — it’s very good at structure and can’t know what it didn’t hear. The final note is yours: read it, correct it, and sign it.
