VetRec now supports separate language settings for recording transcription and note generation. This means you can record a consultation in one language and have your notes, discharges, and client communications generated in a different language.
Overview
There are two independent language settings:
Setting | Purpose | Example |
Recording Language | The language spoken during the consultation. Used to transcribe audio into text. | Spanish |
Note Language | The language VetRec uses when generating medical notes, recaps, and discharges. | English (US) |
Setting Your Default Languages
Recording Language
The Recording Language controls which language VetRec expects when transcribing your audio recordings.
To change your default recording language:

You can also change the recording language on the fly when starting a new recording using the language selector in the Scribe recording panel.
Note Language
The Note Language controls the language VetRec uses when generating your medical notes, client discharges, and other documentation.
To change your default note language:
Go to Settings
Select the Notes tab
Find the Note Language dropdown at the top of the page

The note language can be overridden on a per-template basis
Common Scenarios
Multilingual practice
A veterinarian conducts consultations in Spanish but needs medical records in English. Set Recording Language to Spanish and Note Language to English (US). VetRec will transcribe the Spanish audio and generate English notes.
Template for specific client communications
A clinic needs most notes in English but produces discharge summaries in French for certain clients. Keep the default note language as English (US) and set the specific discharge template's language to French.
