Transcribe a session

  • Press "Start transcribing" and you'll see a timer appear meaning Heidi has started transcribing
  • Connect your microphone
  • Tick the Patient Consent box
  • Let Heidi transcribe in the background whilst you give your undivided attention to your patient
  • To end a session, hit 'Stop transcribing’ in the top right hand corner

Turn your transcribe session into a note

  • Once you’ve hit “Stop transcribing”, select the type of note you’d like Heidi to produce (eg. SOAP or H&P). Then let Heidi work its magic and produce the note in just a matter of seconds!
  • You can then easily proof and edit your note from there.

💡 Tip for web browser users

  • Check that the three audio bars (top right corner) are full to ensure your    microphone is capturing sound

💡 Tip for all users

  • Get the patient’s consent before you start transcribing and explain Heidi turns conversations into notes, not recordings, so you can focus on their care.
  • Speak out loud, Heidi’s like a smart assistant but it's completely blind, it needs you to say everything you want documented
