๐Ÿ’กTips and FAQ's:

1. Start your note by dictating OR typing the patient's name, age, and/or important context before starting the recording.

  • This helps set Lindy up for success before processing the transcript and clearly defines speaker names.

2. If recording a virtual visit or Telehealth visit, have Lindy open on a separate browser.

  • For example, if using Google Chrome for the call, use Safari to record with Lindy. Alternatively, use a mobile device and the Lindy app for recording.๏ปฟ

3. You can quickly ask questions or request edits to your note after it has been generated.

  • Simply type into the text field, "Include the patient history of chronic migraines in the note and add pertinent negatives to the ROS."
