What's funny is this takes 2 seconds to show users in person, but it sounds like a chore in writing - once you try it you'll see what we mean and love it! You can dictate any note by starting in the "Notes" screen, click a green encounter button, then jump out of the new blank note by clicking on the yellow background of the Cottage Med screen. Now the dictation field is the bigger little box in your blank note under the word "Dictate". Double click this box, click the red record button to start and the stop button to stop. You can hear the note at any time after by double clicking the Dictation box in your note. You can erase dictation from the menu bar or with a Ctrl- mouse click.
