Select the correct mic in Settings → General or via the device selector in New Session.

Run a quick Test to check levels and background noise.

Mic placement: 20–30 cm from the speaker; avoid touching the desk or rubbing on clothing.

Environment: close doors, silence unused devices; speak at a steady pace.

Confidentiality: Pause recording for sensitive parts; Resume when appropriate.

For phone consults, upload the original call recording rather than re‑recording through speakers.

If a section was noisy, add a brief dictated recap to capture key facts cleanly.
