Using Speech-to-Text in Bells
If your device can be set up to use Speech-to-Text (Dictation) functionality it can be used in Bells. Once set up on the device, you can cursor into a text field in Bells and use the functionality via the hotkey/configuration that was set up.
Tip: Speak in generalities, for example, you might use "The patient..." rather than the patient's true name.
