Word-for-word dictation within a transcribed document

I am a new user to Heidi and really impressed with the AI features. I am a specialist orthopaedic surgeon, and many of the referrals I see are from other surgeons and colleagues seeking an opinion about a complex patient. In addition to the standard new patient letter, an additional dictated 'clinical impression' section at the end of the letter would be a valuable addition. This would be a dictated passage, directly to the referrer, in the first person, stating your views on the patient and their clinical problem.
In other words, Heidi transcription is ideal for the patient history and clinical examination (if the patient does not mind you stating medical terms as you examine them). The real lowdown on the patient and their problem though is best as a separate paragraph spoken verbatim at the end of this transcribed letter to the referrer (particularly with complex patients). I wonder if Heidi could add this option to templates, to allow integrated dictation within a transcribed letter in the same session (rather than as a separate session, then cut and pasted).

Hi Simon- I find I can already do this. I just have this in my templates: Dictated Letter:
"transcribe the following verbatim"
[verbatim letter content] (only include if explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note, otherwise leave blank.)
"end of dictation"
Otherwise - even without building it in to the template- I'm pretty sure Heidi still does it if you just say "transcribe the following verbatim and include it at the bottom of my clinical note". If for some reason it's not there I just ask for it again in the AI prompt box. Something like "write that letter I dictated"
I find the patients actually like listening in (as a physio it's easy to do during application of any manual therapy too)

Hey all, we'll be rolling this out to all users in the next week so you'll be able to dictate into a transcribed document

Theo from Heidi This is a great addition. Are there plans in add the option for smart dictation into a transcribed document as well?

Brett Wilson: 100% - coming really soon :)

Or just be able to add dictation to the session which can then be used in document generation.

Agree, having the ability for Heidi to identify a section of smart dictation within the transcription would be really helpful.
