How to Perform Live Medical Transcription in HeliQore
Follow this visual tutorial to configure a live session, capture speech from your microphone, and review the saved transcript. Prefer video? Watch the video guide.
Before you begin
Sign in to HeliQore using a supported web browser and connect the microphone you want to use. Your browser may ask for microphone access when the session starts. Confirm that you have permission to record and transcribe the conversation, and handle patient and confidential information according to your organisation’s privacy requirements.
Step 2
Configure the session
Enter a clear Session Name, then choose the required Audio Input. Select the appropriate language under Transcription Defaults and choose how long HeliQore should store the transcript.
For microphone capture, select Microphone input. For system or tab audio, choose the matching source and follow the browser’s sharing prompt.
Step 3
Add optional guidance
Review the Capture Guidance for the selected audio source. If useful, enter the patient’s first and last names as optional spelling hints. These fields reinforce name spelling in the transcript; leave them blank when they are not needed.
Step 4
Start the live session
Select Start. If the browser asks for microphone permission, allow access to the microphone you selected.
Confirm that the Audio Level indicator moves as you speak. This shows that HeliQore is receiving sound. You can pause or stop the session using the controls below the indicator.
Step 5
Dictate and monitor the transcript
Speak clearly at a consistent pace. As the session continues, recognised text appears in the Live Transcript panel. Watch the panel to confirm that the audio is being transcribed and use Pause if the session needs to be interrupted.
Avoid speaking passwords or information that is not required for the clinical record.
Step 6
Stop and save the session
When dictation is complete, select Stop. Confirm that the page reports that live transcription has stopped and that the complete text remains visible for review.
Step 7
Review the transcript
Select Transcripts from the navigation menu, then choose the completed session in the Transcript Library. Review the text carefully before relying on or sharing it.
From this page, you can copy or save the transcript, download the audio or DOCX file, apply a template, or delete the transcript using the available actions.
Live transcription complete
Your live session has been captured and saved to the Transcript Library. Always review medical terminology, measurements, negation, and patient details before using the transcript in clinical documentation.
