Voice Recording Tips
To get the most accurate and useful transcriptions from TalkDoc, follow these best practices when recording your voice notes.
Speak at a Natural Pace
Record your voice as you would normally speak. Avoid speaking too quickly or too slowly, as this can affect the accuracy of the transcription.
State Key Information Clearly
When recording important details, enunciate clearly:
- Names: Spell out or pronounce names distinctly
- Dates: Say dates in full (e.g., “April ninth, twenty twenty-six” instead of “4/9/26”)
- Numbers: Speak numbers clearly, especially sequences like phone numbers or account IDs
- Technical terms: Speak any specialized vocabulary slowly and clearly
Minimize Background Noise
Find a quiet environment when possible. Background noise can interfere with speech recognition accuracy.
Common sources to avoid:
- Loud machinery or equipment
- Traffic or wind noise
- Conversations nearby
- Fans or HVAC systems
Use the Guided Prompts
TalkDoc provides guided prompts when you start recording. These prompts are tailored to the document type you’re creating. Follow the structure suggested by the app to ensure you capture all necessary information.
Watch the Listening Indicator
When you’re recording, you’ll see a pulsing “Listening…” indicator on your screen. This shows that TalkDoc is actively recording your audio. Keep talking until you’ve finished your note, then tap the stop button.
The pulsing indicator helps you confirm that the app is ready and actively capturing your voice.
