I am thrilled to share a significant new addition to our platform's Professional Plan: the Speech-to-Text function. This new feature builds upon our previous Dictation mode, delivering an even more seamless and effective note-taking experience for clinicians like you.

What to Expect from Speech-to-Text

Our Speech-to-Text feature is now live on PatientNotes, offering a smoother and more intuitive way to manage clinical notes, patient summaries, and medical letters.

Record Your Consultation

With Speech-to-Text, you can effortlessly record your consultations, allowing you to focus on your patients while ensuring accurate, comprehensive notes.

Record Yourself

For moments when you need to add reflections or thoughts after a consultation, Speech-to-Text provides the flexibility to record directly within the Clinical Notes editor. Simply click the microphone icon to begin recording, and watch as your notes appear on-screen in real time.

Manual Entry Option

Prefer to dictate your notes without recording a consultation? No problem. You can select "Enter Clinical Notes Manually" when starting a new session, providing flexibility in how you manage your notes.

Dictate Directly

All the benefits of the previous Dictation mode remain, allowing you to dictate directly into the text editor for quick, efficient note-taking.

Voice Memo Your Additional Thoughts

At the end of a session, Speech-to-Text enables you to record any final reflections, ensuring that no detail is missed.

Available for Professional Plan Users

Speech-to-Text is exclusively available to our Professional Plan users. We hope this feature enhances your workflow and supports you in providing high-quality patient care.
