Start with these general steps

Try these steps when ScribbleVet is slow or not responding as expected.

  1. Refresh the app by force-closing it and opening it again, or hard refresh the website with CMD+R (Mac) or CTRL+R (Windows).

  2. Check your internet connection.

  3. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version.

  4. Try again after a few minutes.

  5. Try a different device, such as a phone, computer, or tablet. ScribbleVet supports multiple devices, so this step would show whether the issue is specific to one device.


Note stuck in “Scribbling…” mode

Notes typically complete within a couple of minutes and should never take more than 5 minutes to return. If your note is still scribbling after 5 minutes, follow the general steps above, then see Fix a Note Stuck on Scribbling… for next steps.


Microphone issues

If ScribbleVet is not picking up your headset or microphone, confirm the correct microphone is selected in your audio settings. Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner of ScribbleVet to open the Settings page, then select Audio to test your current microphone or open your system settings. For full guidance, see Microphone use.


Billing or seat questions

Changes to billing or the number of seats on your account are handled either by the ScribbleVet support team or practice account administrators. Contact support and include the name and email address on your account to verify your access type or request assistance.
