Audio recording just got easier

Audio recording just got easier

If you use the Record audio tool to capture sessions, this update is for you!

What’s new?

You might notice that the audio recording tool has gotten a fresh look, and the Upheal web app and iOS app now match.

Changes to keep in mind:

  • Click to start. Recording no longer starts automatically when you click Record audio on your dashboard — Make sure to click Start recording.
  • Sound monitoring. Now, you can make sure your microphone is picking up sound with a more prominent sound level meter.
  • Session settings. Quickly change settings such as note type during or after recording.

🔑 Keys to session success

Remember, audio recording works like a microphone — It captures sound from its surroundings, not sound made by the device it’s being run on. That’s why it’s perfect for in-person sessions.

👥 Tips for in-person sessions

  • Place the recording device close to you and your client. Remember to speak up!
  • Keep Upheal open and in the foreground on your device.
  • Make sure you don’t have any headphones connected.
  • If you have an iPhone or iPad, try our iOS app.

💻 Tips for online sessions and phone calls

If you use audio recording to capture phone calls or online sessions:

  • Hold the session on one device, and run the audio recorder on a second device.
  • Don’t use headphones. The recorder needs to hear both people talking. Make phone calls on speaker.
💻 Tips for online sessions and phone calls
  • If you’re holding a session in an EHR or other calling platform, we recommend using our browser extension, which is designed specifically for capturing online calls held on any platform on the same device.
