FAQ
Does it change clinical facts?
No. It only changes deterministic formatting such as spacing, line breaks, bullet markers, and optional heading spacing.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The JavaScript runs locally in your browser. Pasted note text is not sent to a server by this tool.
Does it remove patient identifiers?
No. Use the Clinical Text De-Identifier as a separate first-pass helper and review carefully.
Can I use this for SOAP notes or shift handoffs?
Yes, as a formatting cleanup step. For structured layouts, use the SOAP Note Formatter or Shift Handoff Formatter after reviewing the cleaned text.
