Devinote is your documentation assistant for the practice: you speak, Devinote transcribes and turns the conversation into a structured clinical note. This manual walks through every step in the app.

1. What Devinote is — and what it is not
Devinote supports the documentation of a consultation. It records the conversation, produces a transcript and turns it into a SOAP-style note.
What Devinote is not:
Clinical responsibility for every note stays with you.
2. Account: register, confirm, sign in
Register
Confirm your email (6-digit code)
After registration Devinote sends a 6-digit confirmation code by email. The code is valid for 10 minutes.
Sign in
Forgot password
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
You enable 2FA under Profile. With 2FA active you enter the code from your authenticator app after the password. Keep the recovery codes — without the authenticator app and without those codes the account is locked and support has to reset it.
Common sign-in problems
4. Language and appearance
App interface language (German/English)
Change the interface language with the language switch in the top header (DE/EN). It applies to menus, buttons and hints and is stored on this device. It also works on the sign-in and registration pages.
Recording language
The language of the conversation is a different setting. You choose it when starting a consultation, in the Language field on the Start new consultation page. It defines the language that is spoken and transcribed — set it before you start recording.
Light and dark mode
Use the icon in the top right to switch between light and dark mode. The setting is stored on the device.
5. Live transcription: recording a consultation
How to start a transcript
While recording
Tip for a better AI note
At the end of the session, dictate the key facts yourself for about 30 seconds: "55-year-old patient, known hypertension, chest pain today …". Your clear speech and your terminology are understood far more reliably than the patient conversation, and the note becomes much more accurate.
Microphone: which browsers work
Microphone in Chrome on iPhone
iOS grants the microphone right per browser app. Safari and Chrome have separate permissions: Safari may be allowed while Chrome is still blocked. In that case there is often no dialog, only an error.
How to allow the microphone for Chrome:
Alternatively open Devinote in Safari. No website can set this permission itself — Devinote included.
Typical microphone errors
6. Correcting the transcript, AI note, export
Correct the transcript
You can type into the transcript and correct the text at any time. New sentences are appended below without overwriting your correction. The AI note and the export always use the corrected text.
AI note (SOAP)
From the transcript Devinote produces a structured note: short overview, assessment and plan, next steps and the SOAP sections. You find it in the Summary tab.
Export as PDF or TXT
The file name is Transcript_yyyyMMdd_HHmmss.pdf or .txt and contains no patient name. After the download the session switches to Exported in the history.
On a phone the share sheet may open: choose "Save to Files" to store the file.
Because transcript and note do not stay in the database, the download is the only permanent copy. Export before you close the tab.
7. Text summaries (without recording)
If you already have text or do not want to record:
The difference to live transcription: nothing is recorded and no microphone is needed. The session appears in the history with source Text.
8. History, archive and privacy
Where to find earlier sessions
Both lists show the export status (Exported / Not exported).
What is stored — and what is not
Only a metadata row is stored per session:
Transcript_yyyyMMdd_HHmmssNot stored: transcript text, clinical note, patient name, audio file.
The live transcript is kept only temporarily in the browser (sessionStorage). It survives a reload in the same tab and is deleted when you close the tab.
Why there is no "View" action in the archive
Because no clinical text is in the database. There is nothing to load. So: download PDF/TXT during the session.
What is sent to Azure
Only spoken segments go to Azure Speech for transcription, and text goes to Azure OpenAI for the note. Silence is discarded in the browser. The audio file is not stored permanently. Details are in the privacy policy.
9. Team, plans and referrals
Roles
Invite a team member (as licence owner)
Without an active seat the team member sees an access message and cannot document.
Plans and subscription
Under Account → Plans & trial you start the trial, change the plan or manage the subscription. Invoices and payment methods are under Billing & invoices; that is also where you open the customer portal and download invoice PDFs.
If the subscription ends, the account is restricted: sign-in and account pages stay reachable, documentation does not.
Refer & earn
Under Account → Refer & earn you find your personal bonus code. Referred colleagues get free months on their first paid subscription; your reward is credited after a waiting period. The exact number of months is shown on the page.
10. Install Devinote on your phone
Devinote can sit on your home screen like an app.
The icon opens the app directly: the dashboard when signed in, otherwise sign-in.
11. Troubleshooting
Recording does not start
No text appears
In fast mode text arrives after a pause in speech. Wait a few seconds or tap Pause recording — the segment is then processed immediately.
Recording paused on its own
That is the automatic pause after 3 minutes without speech. Continue with Resume recording; the session is preserved.
The connection is disconnected
On "Disconnected" check the network and reload the page. The corrected transcript text is preserved in the same tab. If the error persists, send the message via Contact support or the support chat.
I cannot document
Check the notice banner at the top:
Old text has disappeared
Transcripts are not stored in the database. After closing the tab the text is gone. Only the download (PDF/TXT) is permanent.
An error page appears
The error page shows a trace ID. Send it along via Contact support; it lets support find the event in the logs.
12. Help and human support
There are four ways to get help:
Please do not send patient data to support. Session name, time, device and browser are enough.
