M*Modal's Speech-to-Text Integration with DrChrono on the iPad

Speech-to-text is a great way to streamline your daily workflow. For more information, refer to the Speech-to-Text on the iPad video. 

DrChrono is integrated with the most accurate HIPAA-compliant medical speech-to-text product from M*Modal. M*Modal adapts to your speech patterns to transcribe your words accurately into your clinical notes. M*Modal is user-specific so if someone uses your account, it may not work as well for them since it is tailored to your voice.

The M*Modal speech-to-text integration is only available on our Hippocrates and higher-paid plans.

1. Tap Account.

2.  Tap Speech-to-Text Settings. 

3. Turn on the Enable New Voice Commands toggle switch.
4.  Tap Restart Now.

Transcribe with the M*Modal speech-to-text integration

You can use the M*Modal speech-to-text integration almost anywhere there is a keyboard within the DrChrono iPad EHR app.

1. Tap on the field where you want to enter text.
2. Tap the microphone  and start dictating your note.
3. When you are done dictating, tap Tap to end.
