Recording and transcription

DocNote records the encounter on your phone or in the browser, then transcribes it with medical-aware speech-to-text.

  1. Open the Record tab
  2. Choose a template
  3. Tap record and speak
  4. Pause or stop when the encounter is done

You can add more audio to the same consultation later from the report screen (Add recording).

On the web app, use a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari on https. If the browser blocks the microphone, recording will not start.

Transcription starts automatically after the audio is uploaded.

Transcription understands drug names, dosages, and abbreviations, and works in 20+ languages. You can dictate in one language and generate the report in another from your consultation-language setting.

Once audio is transcribed (and any attachments are processed), generate or regenerate the report. New audio added while a report is already generating is picked up on the next pass.
