# Overview

> EkaScribe turns clinical conversations into structured medical notes — via a simple session-based API

EkaScribe is Eka Care's AI medical scribe. Record or stream a consultation (or a dictation) and get back accurate, structured clinical notes — in the exact format you define — across 10+ Indian and international languages.

## How it works

One session, five calls:

```
Create Session  →  Upload Audio  →  End Session  →  Poll  →  Structured Notes
POST /sessions     POST .../audio    POST .../end     GET /sessions/{id}
```

1. **Create a session** with the note templates you want.
2. **Send audio** — HTTP chunks or a real-time WebSocket stream.
3. **End the session** to start processing.
4. **Get the results** — transcript plus structured notes per template (poll or webhook).

Start with the [Quickstart](/ekascribe/quickstart) — the full flow is \~30 lines of code in any language.

## Key capabilities

* **Built on an open protocol** — all APIs implement the [MedScribe Alliance scribe-emr protocol](/ekascribe/api-reference/protocol/overview); EkaScribe is the first scribe service to open-source it. No vendor lock-in.
* **Custom templates** — describe your note format in markdown; EkaScribe follows it. No rigid schemas.
* **Multilingual** — English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi. Auto-detection and output translation.
* **Real-time or batch** — WebSocket streaming for live scribing, chunked HTTP upload for recorded audio.
* **Two models** — `pro` (speaker diarization, custom templates, 60-min sessions) and `lite` (fast, dictation-focused).
* **FHIR output** — notes available as a [FHIR bundle](/ekascribe/resources/fhir-structure) for interoperability.
* **Webhooks** — get notified when processing completes instead of polling.
