Does the letter come with a letterhead and a signature?

No. It is the clinical content in sections, as in the example. Letterhead, the specialist's details and your signature are added where you send it from.

Can I dictate the case in any order?

Yes. Dictate it as it comes to mind. What you said is arranged into the letter's sections, whatever order you said it in.

Does it attach lab results or radiographs?

No. The letter contains what you dictate. Verbato has no built-in connection to your practice system or your lab, so say the values and dates the specialist needs, and attach files where you send the letter.

What if I have differentials instead of a working diagnosis?

Dictate them. The Working diagnosis section holds the diagnosis or the differentials you stated, with the same degree of certainty. None is added for you.

Verbato writes a veterinary referral letter from your dictation. A veterinary referral letter asks a specialist or another clinic to see a patient: it states your question, with the signalment, history, treatments tried and findings they need.

For vets who refer cases to a specialist.

How your veterinary referral letter is written

What was tried and failed is in the letter, as you stated it.
Each result keeps its value, its unit and its date.
Your working diagnosis keeps the hedge you gave it.
No finding, treatment or diagnosis is added that you did not dictate.

Your format, not ours

The sections of your veterinary referral letter and the way it is written are yours to change. To fix a document, say what is wrong in your own words.

1You correct it
“Give me more detail in History and treatments tried.”
That veterinary referral letter changes. Nothing else does.
2You say it again
Make the same correction on a later veterinary referral letter and Verbato asks: “You've changed this before. Always?”
3You decide
Answer “Always” and it is kept as a rule, applied from your next veterinary referral letter on. Answer “Just this once” and nothing is kept. Documents already written stay as they are, and nothing becomes a rule unless you confirm it.
4Your rules
I write “History and treatments tried” in more detail.Undo
Every rule you have kept is listed, and you can undo any of them. An undone rule stops applying from your next veterinary referral letter.

How it works

Upload a file, paste a link, record in your browser, or send a voice note by Telegram or email. Verbato makes a word-for-word transcript, which you can edit and which stays beside the document. Your veterinary referral letter is written from it, in minutes.

Recording limits

A recording made in your browser can run up to 30 min on every plan; a longer session goes in as a file you upload. A free account takes recordings of up to 40 min each; for longer ones, see pricing.

Your recording

Deleted after 7 days by default, together with its transcript and documents. You can keep a project longer, up to your plan's limit. Deleting a recording leaves a receipt you can download. Nothing you record is used to train or improve AI models.
