+# 🏥 Scribbled Docs Notes - Medical SOAP Note Generator
+
+
+
+Transform unstructured medical notes and handwritten documents into professional SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) documentation using Google's Gemma 3N model and advanced OCR technology.
+
+## 🚀 Features
+
+- **📸 Image OCR**: Upload PNG/JPG images of medical notes (typed or handwritten)
+- **🤖 AI-Powered**: Uses Google's Gemma 3N multimodal model for intelligent SOAP generation
+- **📝 Manual Input**: Enter medical notes directly via text interface
+- **🔒 Privacy-First**: All processing performed locally - no data sent to external servers
+- **🌐 Web Interface**: User-friendly Gradio interface with shareable links
+- **📋 Professional Format**: Generates structured SOAP notes following medical standards
+- **📋 Copy Ready**: Built-in copy button for easy transfer to medical records
+
+## 🎯 What is SOAP?
+
+SOAP notes are a standardized method for documenting medical encounters:
+- **S - SUBJECTIVE**: Patient's reported symptoms and medical history
+- **O - OBJECTIVE**: Observable clinical findings, vital signs, test results
+- **A - ASSESSMENT**: Clinical diagnosis and medical reasoning
+- **P - PLAN**: Treatment plan, medications, and follow-up instructions
+
+## 🛠️ Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Python 3.8 or higher
+- CUDA-compatible GPU (optional, but recommended for faster processing)
+- Hugging Face account and API token
+
+### Quick Start
+
+1. **Clone the repository**:
+   ```bash
+   git clone <repository-url>
+   cd scribbled-docs-notes
+   ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies**:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+3. **Set up Hugging Face authentication**:
+   ```bash
+   # Option 1: Environment variable
+   export HF_TOKEN="your_hugging_face_token"
+   
+   # Option 2: Login via CLI
+   huggingface-cli login
+   ```
+
+4. **Run the application**:
+   ```bash
+   python app.py
+   ```
+
+5. **Access the interface**:
+   - Local: `http://localhost:7860`
+   - Public link will be displayed in terminal when using `share=True`
+
+## 📖 Usage
+
+### Method 1: Upload Medical Images
+1. Take a photo or scan of handwritten/typed medical notes
+2. Upload PNG or JPG files through the web interface
+3. The system automatically extracts text using OCR
+4. Click "Generate SOAP Note" to create structured documentation
+
+### Method 2: Manual Text Entry
+1. Type or paste unstructured medical notes into the text area
+2. Use the provided examples as templates
+3. Generate professional SOAP documentation
+
+### Example Input:
+```
+Patient John Smith, 45yo male, came in complaining of chest pain for 2 days. 
+Pain is sharp, 7/10 intensity, worse with movement. Vital signs: BP 140/90, 
+HR 88, Temp 98.6F. Physical exam shows tenderness over left chest wall, 
+no murmurs. EKG normal. Diagnosed with costochondritis. Prescribed 
+ibuprofen 600mg TID.
+```
+
+### Generated SOAP Output:
+```
+SUBJECTIVE:
+45-year-old male presents with chief complaint of chest pain persisting 
+for 2 days. Patient describes pain as sharp in quality with intensity 
+rated 7/10. Pain is exacerbated by movement.
+
+OBJECTIVE:
+Vital Signs: Blood pressure 140/90 mmHg, heart rate 88 bpm, 
+temperature 98.6°F
+Physical Examination: Tenderness noted over left chest wall. 
+Cardiovascular examination reveals no murmurs. 
+Diagnostic Studies: EKG shows normal sinus rhythm.
+
+ASSESSMENT:
+Costochondritis
+
+PLAN:
+1. Medication: Ibuprofen 600mg three times daily
+2. Activity: Rest as needed
+3. Follow-up: Return if symptoms persist
+```

+- **Languages**: 140 text + 35 multimodal languages
+- **Precision**: FP16 (GPU) / FP32 (CPU)
+
+### OCR Technology
+- **Primary**: EasyOCR (optimized for handwritten text)
+- **Fallback**: Tesseract OCR with medical text configuration
+- **Preprocessing**: Image enhancement, noise removal, contrast optimization
+
+### System Requirements
+- **RAM**: 8GB minimum, 16GB recommended
+- **Storage**: 5GB free space for model downloads
+- **GPU**: Optional but recommended (NVIDIA with CUDA support)
+- **CPU**: Multi-core processor recommended for CPU-only inference
+
+## 🔧 Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables

+# Required
+HF_TOKEN=your_hugging_face_token
+
+# Optional
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0  # GPU selection
+GRADIO_SERVER_PORT=7860 # Custom port
+```
+
+### Model Configuration
+The application automatically configures optimal settings based on your hardware:

+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**1. Model Download Fails**
+```bash
+# Clear Hugging Face cache
+rm -rf ~/.cache/huggingface/
+# Re-authenticate
+huggingface-cli login
+```
+
+**2. OCR Not Working**
+```bash
+# Install system dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)
+sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
+sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx
+```
+
+**3. CUDA Out of Memory**
+```bash
+# Force CPU usage
+export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=""
+```
+
+**4. Port Already in Use**
+```bash
+# Kill process on port 7860
+lsof -ti:7860 | xargs kill -9
