Use dictation when you’d rather speak your note than record the visit itself, for example once the patient has left.
- In Visits, choose a template. Any template works. Free-form Dictation keeps your dictated structure, wording and headings and turns them into a clean note.
- At the top of Start a visit, choose Dictate, then select Start dictation.
- Speak your findings, then select Stop & create note.
The consent checkbox isn’t required for dictation, because you’re recording only yourself. You can still pick a patient so the note includes their details and background.
Dictations follow the same steps as any other recording afterwards: review, edit, sign, and copy or export. See Record your first visit.
