THIS is the best thing in Dentistry since local anesthetic!

I HATE typing notes even more than I hate cracked teeth. The quest for good, detailed, contemporaneous record keeping in 2024 means so many of us stay behind after patients to ‘tidy up’ our notes.

With the power of audio recording and AI, I am pleased to present to you NOTES THAT WRITE THEMSELVES!

In this episode I share my current protocols using DigitalTCO – a website that uses live transcription and AI to write your notes for you (genuinely awesome notes).

Protrusive Dental Pearl: Register for a free EXTENDED trial with Digital TCO and transform your note-taking process by simply speaking into a microphone connected to your computer. Forget about typing out notes after appointments— the intelligent AI will craft them for you as you dictate, making everything sound fantastic.

Using the Protrusive link to sign up DOES mean that we get a commision, but I also ensured you get 50% off (for the lifetime of your subscription) AND 28 days to try this instead of 14.

‘Jaz Mode’ lets you speak to patients and nurses during consultations, with AI compiling the notes for you. Named “Jaz Mode” in my honor by Kevin, it’s still in beta but offers a glimpse into innovative note-taking. To try it out and see why I’m excited, visit protrusive.co.uk/notes. Watch for a demo video, including my recommended microphone.
