Taking notes during or after your appointment is easy. During your appointment you can add notes by tapping the ‘Notes’ button on the record screen.

Your privacy is very important to us, and as such, when you delete media such as audio recordings, photos, videos, and messages they are permanently deleted from our servers. Unfortunately that does mean that content that has been deleted is not recoverable. Please be sure when deleting media from the app.

You can still create a recording without an internet connection. Go through the steps as usual to create and save your recording. The recording will be saved locally on your phone and will get uploaded, transcribed and shared with the group the next time you open the app with an internet connection.

To successfully create a Medcorder account, you must use a mobile phone number. After typing in your phone number to create an account, you will be sent an authentication code via text message. If you do not receive a code, or the code has timed out, you can tap the 'Resend Code' to receive your code again. If you unsuccessfully login 5 times, or tap to resend your code 5 times, you will be locked out of the system due to unusual activity. You will then need to wait until your number resets to attempt to create your account again.

If you do not receive your code for logging into the app, you can tap the 'Resend Code' link on the login screen. In rare cases, T-Mobile subscribers with older phone numbers cannot receive six digit verification codes. If you are a T-Mobile user and you are not receiving your code, call T-Mobile support and ask them to remove this restriction from your account. Once the restriction is lifted, you should be able to create an account or login by receiving the authentication code.
