Getting Started with Chartnote Voice Commands

Our voice command feature is designed to streamline your medical documentation process, allowing you to dictate without having to use your mouse or keyboard. This guide will introduce you to some basic voice commands and tips for effective usage.

How to issue commands

Activate Voice Recognition: Before you begin dictating, ensure that your microphone is on.

Speak Clearly and Naturally: For best results, speak clearly and at a natural pace. Ensure you're in a quiet environment to minimize background noise.

When issuing voice commands, be sure to pause before and after the full text of the command, but do not pause in the middle of the command. Do not include additional words within your command.
