Does Lyrebird work for Telehealth consults?
Lyrebird is compatible with most major Telehealth platforms.
For phone consults you just need to have your phone on speaker and relatively close to your microphone.
‍
For Video consults we recommend having your microphone external to the computer as this will better detect the patients voice. USB Conferencing microphones or webcams are great for this.
‍
Occasionally video conferencing applications can take priority access over Lyrebird for the microphone as opposed to “sharing” it. This can be easily resolved in your settings however it is just something to be mindful of before your first Telehealth consult.
What are Macros?
With our "Macros" feature you can insert prewritten sections of text or "pre-fills" at any point.
This is perfect if you have a set wording you always use for consent or side effects for example.
