Writing support

Dictation

Dictation can help you speak draft text into supported long-form fields when typing is not the easiest option.

Quick overview

Dictation is optional input assistance for approved long-form fields. It inserts editable draft text for review and does not automatically save, share, export, notify the therapist, change visibility, or call AI.

What you’ll see

Dictation appears only on approved long-form fields and creates editable draft text.
Dictation text stays editable and does not save, share, export, notify, change visibility, or call AI automatically.

How this works

  • Use dictation only where a microphone control is shown on an approved long-form field.
  • Your browser may ask for microphone permission before dictation can start.
  • The transcript appears as editable draft text in the field.
  • Review, edit, or remove the draft before saving the form.

What dictation does not do

  • It does not automatically save your form.
  • It does not automatically share content with the therapist.
  • It does not export content or notify anyone.
  • It does not change visibility settings or call AI tools.

If dictation is unavailable

  • You can type normally.
  • Check whether the browser has microphone permission.
  • Try refreshing the page if the control looks stuck.
  • You can stop dictation or discard dictated draft text before saving.
