# Record Consultation

> Record a patient consultation on the mobile app

On the mobile app you can record a consultation so MedWrite transcribes it and helps generate the letter. Start a recording when you are with the patient, then review and edit on the app or web.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a recording">
    Open the app and start a new record. Tap to begin recording and speak as you would during the consultation. The app captures the audio and sends it for transcription.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review transcript and letter">
    When you stop the recording, the app processes the audio. You can then review the transcript and the generated letter, add edits, and approve or send from the app.

    <Frame hint="The record syncs to your web dashboard so you can also review or export from there." caption="Transcript or letter after recording.">

  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Record in a quiet place when possible so the transcription is accurate. You can edit the transcript and letter before approving.
