ScribbleVet’s AI scribe performs best when it can clearly hear your voice—so audio quality matters! Whether you’re using a tablet, phone, or computer, here’s what to know about choosing and using a microphone with ScribbleVet.
✅ What type of microphone do I need?
ScribbleVet works with built-in mics on most modern devices, but using an external microphone can improve clarity and reduce background noise—especially in busy clinics.
We support:
Built-in microphones (on tablets, phones, laptops)
Plug-in wired microphones
Wireless microphones (Bluetooth or clip-on)
USB microphones (for desktops/laptops)
You don’t need to spend much—most affordable microphones will do the job as long as they can clearly pick up your voice during the appointment.
🔌 Microphone compatibility by device
Mobile devices (iOS & Android):
Wired mics should connect via the headphone jack or USB-C/Lightning adapters.
Bluetooth microphones work well as long as the device’s OS recognizes them as an audio input.
Laptops/desktops:
USB microphones are typically plug-and-play.
Check your audio input settings to ensure the right mic is selected before recording.
📍 Placement tips for better accuracy
Distance matters: Keep the mic 6–12 inches from your mouth.
Reduce noise: Avoid placing it too close to noisy machines, HVAC vents, or high-traffic areas.
Be consistent: Try to keep your recording environment and mic placement consistent across appointments.
💡 Quick tips
Test your mic before your first appointment using ScribbleVet.
If your audio isn’t processing well, try a quieter environment or repositioning your mic.
Avoid muffled audio by ensuring the mic isn’t covered by clothing, gloves, or hands.
