Introducing the New Tali iOS App

The new Tali iOS app gives you a faster, more reliable way to document patient care directly from your iPhone. Built specifically for iOS, the redesigned app makes it easier to record encounters, dictate notes, manage AI-generated documentation, and keep working when your connection is interrupted. With your core documentation tools in one place, you can spend less time switching between devices and more time focused on patient care. The app is available for clinicians using iOS 16 or later.

This article explains how to:

Navigate the new Tali iOS app.
Record an Ambient encounter.
Dictate a clinical note.
Review, edit, and manage your notes.
Continue recording when you are offline.
Customize your templates, languages, and display settings.
Call a patient from Tali when the feature is enabled.

Navigate the App

The app includes three main sections:

Home: Start an Ambient encounter or Medical Dictation.
History: Access completed notes and recordings waiting to sync.
Profile: Manage your templates, languages, display preferences, and account settings.

Tap Create new from Home or History to start an encounter, begin dictation, or call a patient when the feature is available.

Record an Ambient Encounter

Use Ambient Scribe to record a patient conversation and generate a structured clinical note.

Select your preferred template.
Tap Start to begin recording.
Pause or resume as needed.
Tap Stop and submit to generate your note.

Your recording can continue while the app is running in the background. If a phone call, Siri, or a change in your connected audio device interrupts the recording, Tali will pause it so you can resume when ready.

Dictate a Note

Select Start Dictation to dictate clinical documentation directly. Dictation does not require a template or minimum recording length and supports English and French.

Tali processes your speech to improve punctuation, capitalization, medical abbreviations, and medication names before creating the note.

Review and Manage Your Notes

From History, you can:

Review and edit generated notes.
View the encounter transcript.
Copy or delete notes.
Generate another note using a different template.
Resume an encounter when available.
Retry or delete recordings waiting to sync.

After you submit a recording, Tali automatically takes you to History and opens the new note.

Keep Working Offline

You can continue recording even when your internet connection is unavailable. Tali securely saves the recording on your device and automatically uploads it when your connection returns.

Recordings that have not yet uploaded appear under Waiting to sync in History, where you can review their status, retry the upload, or delete them.

Customize Your Experience

From Profile, you can manage:

Your default and favourite templates.
Whether Tali confirms your template before each submission.
Ambient conversation and summary languages.
Dictation language.
Text size and light or dark appearance.
Support, privacy, and account settings.

Call a Patient

When enabled for your account, select Call a patient from the Create new menu to place a patient call directly from Tali.

You can select a template before the call, record the conversation, and generate an encounter note using the same workflow as an Ambient encounter.
