Heidi Team
The previously sharp distinction between transcription and dictation is gone. Clinicians can now dictate everywhere in notes, documents, and Context.
If you prefer to make edits or additions by voice rather than typing, simply click the microphone icon near the copy button and move the cursor to where you want to begin dictating.
Dictated text appears as it’s spoken. Voice commands can be used for formatting and punctuation (new line, comma, new paragraph, etc).
By toggling the dictation button, you can flip between manual typing and cursor-guided dictation, until your text is precisely to your preference.
Users can still choose between dictation or transcription upon beginning a new session. However, these functions will be merged in the near future, providing a more cohesive user experience (and a definitive end to the need for separate scribing and dictation products).
Making Heidi sound exactly like you just got easier, with more granular control over Voice in the new Customise style menu.
To access the menu, click on the voice icon during a session.
Here’s what’s changed:
Please note: Template instructions are always prioritized over Voice settings. For example, if your template instructs Heidi to never use abbreviations, toggling on ‘Include abbreviations’ will not result in abbreviations being used in the output.
You can set default choices for all of the above in the Preferences menu via the sidebar.
A short summary with details from the session now auto-populates in the header.
Clicking on the session summary opens an editing window where details can be changed.
The summary is the title displayed in the Sessions list until patient details are added (or the session is linked with a patient profile).
Benefits of the new session summary include:
Papercuts
