Default Shortcut Behaviour:
The default shortcut behaviour is a single tap activates voice shortcuts and holding down the shortcut button brings up the Quick Access Shortcuts. You can switch this behaviour by toggling the setting switch
This enables or disables haptic feedback on various button taps. Haptic feedback is that light vibration when tapping a button.
Voice Match Alerts:
This settings determines whether you get a notification on your iPhone/iPad if you attempt a voice shortcut and there is no match. If there is no match, you will get a small temporary popup showing you what didn't match. This can be helpful in determining why a voice shortcut didn't work. It is enable by default
Disable Screen Sleep:
This setting disables the screen sleep function when recording. If you are dictating a longer report, it is possible that your iPhone/iPad screen will turn off based on your iPhone setting. Enabling this ensures the screen won't turn off when recording.
Voice Shortcut Record Time:
This determines the amount of time the application will listen for your voice shortcut command before processing. If you find that your Voice Shortcuts aren't matching, you can always increase this to allow you more time to say your voice command
Dictation Settings:
Default Speaker Playback:
This enables playback through the speaker by default. You can change the setting at any time within the dictation module as well.
Default Overwrite Mode:
By default, the dictation app in in Overwrite mode. What this means is that if you rewind to the beginning of a file and start dictating, you will overwrite what you have dictated. This works the same as if you were using an old analog cassette recorder. If you disable this setting, the default record mode will be Insert. This means that if you rewind back in a file and then start dictating, the new audio you dictate will be inserted at the insertion point instead of overwriting. You can also change this on the fly in the Dictation Module as needed.
Use Default Job ID:
When creating dictations for backend, or offline, recognition, you are required to enter an identifier such as patient name, chart number etc... to be able to locate the file in the Talkingvet Dictation Portal. If you would prefer to have this value auto populated with a date/time stamp, enable this.
General

Advanced
Reset Tutorials:

Use Websockets: (New as of version 1.11)
Currently this only applies to shortcuts and will be enabled by default. This uses a much more efficient and faster way of using voice shortcuts. You should only turn this off if advised by support. It won't break anything but will add significant time to use voice shortcuts
Auto Region Detection:
This setting attempts to detect your current country to set the correct default login server. You will have the option to manually change the server at the login screen if needed
