Maximising Audio Quality

5 Steps to Maximise Note Accuracy by Improving Audio Quality

1. Microphone Choice

A good quality mic is very important. We recommend:

• USB Mic for most clinics: Razer Seiren V3 Mini (~$60USD)

• Wireless mic for large consult rooms: DJI Mic Mini (~$80 USD)

• When using mobile devices, place the device close to you.

   

2. Communication style

To maximise note accuracy, you may consider;

• Speaking slowly

• Summarising key info back to the client, eg "Ok so Fluffy has been vomiting for 3 days..."

• Clearly articulating key info, eg which pharmaceuticals you're giving

3. Proximity

• Ideally be within 1-2 metres of the mic

4. Directionality

• Ideally face the microphone

• Avoid having it behind an object (eg computer screen)

5. Echo

• Echo will degrade the microphone performance

• This can be easily solved with in-expensive acoustic panelling on the walls (~$40 US)
