What changed in tebIQ this month (July 2026)

Instant dot phrases, recording from the mobile web, a curbside-style Expert Consult format, discharge instructions in the patient's language, 31 specialty note types, and a resident pathway.

A plain list of what shipped, written the way we'd want to read it. Everything below is live unless marked otherwise.

Dot phrases now expand instantly

Type your shortcut, it expands — while you type and while you dictate. If you have ten years of dot phrases from your EHR, paste them in and they work. The expansion is deterministic text replacement, not an AI guess, so what you defined is exactly what appears. We think your macros are a decade of compressed clinical judgment and the last thing a scribe should ask you to throw away.

Record from the mobile web

The recorder now works from your phone's browser — no app install required to capture a visit. The iOS and Android apps are still the better experience (background recording, watch support, local recovery if something crashes mid-dictation), but if you're on a borrowed workstation or a colleague's phone, the web recorder gets you through the shift.

Expert Consult now answers like a curbside

We rebuilt the Expert Consult output format around how physicians actually consume a curbside: the answer first, in one or two sentences, then the reasoning, then the references. No preamble, no "great question." It reads like the response you'd get from a sharp consultant who respects your time.

Discharge instructions in the patient's language — French and English side by side

Discharge instructions can be generated in the patient's language, and for Canadian users the bilingual case matters most: French and English, from the same visit, without writing anything twice. This is aimed squarely at clinics that document in one language and discharge in another every day.

31 specialty note types

The template library now covers 31 note types — emergency medicine remains the deepest (it's what the founder works in nightly), with families across hospitalist, surgery, OB/GYN, nephrology, and outpatient formats including clinic follow-up. If your specialty's note still feels generic, tell us; templates get built in the order users ask.

A pathway for residents

Residents get tebIQ's core free: unlimited private scribe notes, teaching points generated from your own patients, plus a monthly allotment of full-AI charts. There's a longer post in this issue about how to use a scribe as a resident without running afoul of program rules — the short version is: private notes, your own review, and your program's policy comes first. Details and the waitlist are at tebiq.com/residents.

Smaller fixes worth naming

  • Recovery for interrupted dictations: audio is kept locally on the device so a dropped connection or a crash doesn't cost you the recording.
  • Reliability work on note finalization — the long-note truncation and "stuck button" classes of bugs from June were root-caused and fixed, not papered over.
  • Status page: tebiq.com/status-page shows current system health. If we're degraded, you'll see it there before support tells you.

On data handling, the standing line, unchanged: encrypted in transit and at rest (AES). Never used for training. Never sold.

That's the month. If something on this list doesn't work the way this post says it does, that's a bug — email us.
