Maximising Audio Quality
5 Steps to Maximise Note Accuracy by Improving Audio Quality
Section titled “5 Steps to Maximise Note Accuracy by Improving Audio Quality”1) Microphone Choice
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “3) Proximity”- Ideally be within 1-2 metres of the mic
4) Directionality
Section titled “4) Directionality”- Ideally face the microphone
- Avoid having it behind an object (eg computer screen)
5) Echo
Section titled “5) Echo”- Echo will degrade the microphone performance
- This can be easily solved with in-expensive acoustic panelling on the walls (~$40 US)
