I want to discuss something on my mind lately: the different ways you can use Plexral Scribe.

Important Notes and Caveats

A few things to keep in mind:

Email Approach Limitations

• Can’t change settings or load credits
• Need a separate recording app
• But hey, no login needed! Your email address is your ID

Payment Processing

• Native apps: Processed through respective app stores
• Web app: Direct through Stripe
• Credits cost more on mobile due to store commissions

Settings and Templates

• Create and edit templates across all platforms (except email)
• Manage key-value pairs anywhere (except email)
• Credit management available everywhere (except email)

Which Approach Is Right for You?

• Go Native if you want the most integrated, seamless experience and don’t mind paying a bit more for credits.
• Choose Web if you want the most cost-effective solution and work primarily from your computer.
• Use Email if you’re all about simplicity and already have a recording workflow you love

Remember, the beauty of Plexral Scribe is that you’re not locked into any single approach. Mix and match based on your needs – use the mobile app during patient visits, the web app for template management, and email when you’re working with existing recordings. It’s all about what works best for your workflow!
