There may be situations where you need to dictate a note directly into the EMR, rather than rely on live transcription. The new Direct Dictation feature allows you to capture your spoken content precisely as you say it — making it ideal for cases where clinical accuracy, organization, and detail are essential.
When to Use Direct Dictation
Use our Direct Dictation feature when you need to document verbatim:
-
Complex medical histories that require detailed narrative structure
-
Comprehensive physical examination findings with specific or formatted elements
-
Time-sensitive clinical decisions made outside of a scheduled encounter
-
Follow-up documentation that wasn’t captured during the original visit
When to Use Scribe
Use our Scribe feature for:
-
Real-time documentation during patient encounters
-
Routine or standard visit notes with conversational flow
-
Common appointments where live transcription is sufficient
Both Direct Dictation and Scribe seamlessly integrate with your EMR.
The generated outputs from either feature can be reviewed, edited, and incorporated into your patient chart for official documentation.
