Does Jane App have built-in dictation?

Charting templates and structured forms. Dictation is not a core feature.

Why dictate in Jane App at all?

Physiotherapists, chiropractors and massage therapists chart between appointments with minutes to spare. The chart that gets written in that gap is short; the one written properly happens after the last client, when nobody wants to be there.

In practice people use it for: Treatment notes, subjective and objective sections, home exercise instructions, and practice administration.

How to dictate in Jane App

Read it before you move on

Typally is not HIPAA-certified, nor certified under Canadian provincial health privacy law, and audio is transmitted to a third-party service. Keep patient information out of it.

What Typally adds in Jane App

Typally suits a clinic's non-clinical writing — service descriptions, policies, newsletters, website copy — where there is no patient data involved. It is not certified under HIPAA or Canadian provincial health privacy law and audio is sent to a third-party service, so patient charting has to stay in Jane, typed or dictated through an approved tool.

What this looks like in practice

A physio clinic finally writes proper descriptions of its twelve services for the booking page, spoken in half an hour. Patient charts continue to be written in Jane by hand, as required.

One habit that makes it work better

Dictate the patient's home exercise instructions and hand them over as text. Verbal instructions are forgotten by the car park; written ones survive the week.

What to watch out for in Jane App

Typally is not HIPAA-certified, nor certified under Canadian provincial health privacy law, and audio is transmitted to a third-party service. Keep patient information out of it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I chart in Jane using Typally?

No. Patient charting requires a tool that meets your jurisdiction's health privacy requirements. Typally does not.

Does Jane App support dictation?

Charting is template-driven. Speech input is not a built-in feature.

What about the clinic's non-clinical writing?

That is a reasonable use — policies, service descriptions, newsletters and website copy contain no patient data.
