We’re an Australian company that started in 2023, and since then, we’ve grown entirely through word of mouth – mostly because doctors who tried Lyrebird found it useful and shared it with their colleagues. That’s something we’re really grateful for.

More recently, that organic growth has led us to the UK, where we’ve realised that documentation challenges aren’t just an issue in Australia – they’re just as significant here, if not more.

When we built the first version of Lyrebird, it was a simple prototype – functional, but far from perfect. We put it in front of doctors early on to get their feedback, and then we improved it based on what they actually needed. That’s been our approach ever since: listen, refine, and keep building something that genuinely helps.

We don’t spend much time on aggressive marketing because we believe that if we focus on solving a real problem well, the rest takes care of itself.

We take privacy seriously. Everything processed through Lyrebird is handled with care. The audio from a consultation is transcribed in real-time, meaning there’s no lingering recording of the patient’s voice. The transcript is then de-identified before we run it through an AI model, carefully selected based on the consultation type.

Most importantly:

Lyrebird exists to help, not to exploit. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

We don’t charge more than we need to. Our goal has always been to build something that makes your life easier, not to squeeze every last dollar out of you.

If Lyrebird saves you just one hour per week, over the course of a year, that adds up to an entire working week saved. The time you get back is worth far more than the cost of a subscription – not just financially, but in the impact it has on your patients and the healthcare system as a whole.

That’s why we do this. If we can help clinicians spend less time on paperwork and more time with patients or their family, then we’re making a difference where it matters most.

Here is a short video demonstrating using Lyrebird in your first consult.

Lyrebird can be used for a smart dictation or a generic direct dictation, the video below walks you through how to do it.

Lyrebird temporarily stores your consult for a period of 7 days. It is stored at rest using AES-256 encryption. At the moment, it is stored in Australia, we are in the process of getting it stored in the UK.

Creating an organisation is useful if there are multiple people who work together using Lyrebird. You can share templates, manage the billing and manage the team members. The video below demonstrates how to set it up.

There are many useful settings in Lyrebird, I would highly suggest you read through the preferences and toggle on the ones that are useful for you. You can access the settings here.

This video explains what each of the settings do:

There are a couple of useful tips and tricks to help you in your day to day use of Lyrebird. They are 1) Macro's, 2) Replace forever & 3) AI edit.

This video demonstrates each of them:

Lyrebird's strength is that you can customise the notes and letters to mimic how you normally write, hence the name Lyrebird (it's a bird that mimics what it hears).

This video demonstrates customising your notes & letters.

Here are a couple of useful templates made by other doctors that you can try in your account:

It's really easy to connect your microphone to Lyrebird.

The microphone built into your device should work well enough, but if you need to buy a microphone, you can search online for an omni-directional long distance microphone or see if these options are available near you:
