Frequently Asked Questions
Does the transcription replace what I already typed?
No. Transcribed text is always appended after any existing content in the field, separated by a new line.
Do I need a separate AI Scribe subscription for Rx Notes?
No. Rx Notes transcription uses the same AI Scribe feature already enabled for your organization.
