Starting a transcription

1. Click on the microphone icon

2. Choose your transcription mode:

   • Dictation or Meeting without Headphones: Captures your microphone input.
   • Meeting with Headphones: Designed to capture both microphone and meeting audio (if the meeting is browser-based).

3. (Optional) Check "Store recording on device"

   • By default, this is off. Everbility will remember your preference.

Transcription Modes

• Dictation or Meeting without Headphones
  • Use for dictations or meetings without headphones. In this mode, Everbility will detect your voice and voice of the person you are meeting with through your phone/computer microphone.
• Meeting with Headphones
  • Recommended for telehealth meetings in the browser where you are using headphones. In this mode, Everbility will detect your voice and voice of the person you are meeting with through your headphones.
  • Requires Chrome 74+, Edge 79+, or Opera 62+.

To generate the document/ note in one click:

Click the Generate button (lightning bolt icon pictured below).

To generate the document/ note in two clicks:

Follow the transcription instructions as above. Once you are finished, click the Stop transcribing button and then click the Generate button (lightning bolt icon pictured below). This can be helfpul if you want to quickly edit the document/ note before generating it.

To transcribe a note only and not generate the document:

Click the Stop transcribing button when you are finished. This will automatically save as a note in the client's file (client data).

Transcribing and taking notes

You can take notes while transcribing. The transcription will be appended to where your cursor is after you stop the transcription.

Storing Recordings on Device

• By default, audio recordings are not stored on your device or Everbility servers.
• If you want a backup of your recordings, you must check the Store recording on device option before starting the transcription.
• Enabling this feature will also provide a backup in case you lose your internet connection during a session.
• Once stored locally, they can be accessed under Client Data → Recordings.

Managing and Downloading Recordings

After you finish recording, the session will appear under Client Data → Recordings with a timestamp (only if you chose “Store recording on device”). From there, you can:

• Transcribe recording
  • Click to transcribe the audio into a note within Everbility.
• Download
  • Click to download the recording.
  • If you used the Meeting with Headphones mode, your downloaded file will include two audio streams.
• Delete
  • Click to delete the recording.

Transcribe audio files

You can upload your existing audio files to transcribe them. Click on the Upload button and select the audio file you wish to transcribe. Most major audio file formats are supported.

Troubleshooting

Why can't I see the two recording modes?

The recording modes feature is only available when using the updated editor at https://www.everbility.com/reports for now. We are in the process of rolling it out to the rest of the platform. When making a transcription from Client Data or the Assistant you will see the old transcription user interface which doesn't yet allow recording over headphones.
