One-provider setup
Begin with the device microphone or a simple external microphone, then test.
OraCore workflow guide
Choose the microphone for the room, not the spec sheet.
Solo users can often begin with a phone, tablet, laptop microphone, or simple external mic. Team workflows should usually test a room-based operatory microphone because the useful record may depend on the patient, assistant, hygienist, and provider. Capture quality must be tested in the actual room.
Human review stays in the loop
Draft, review, then finalize.
OraCore assists documentation. The clinical team remains responsible for review and the final record.
