Maximising Audio Quality

Updated this week

Note accuracy is directly correlated with audio quality. It's the most important factor in getting accurate notes in VetNotes.

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)
