FAQs
Can I generate a PDF from any Lyrebird transcript?
Yes. You can generate a PDF from any completed consult in your Lyrebird account.
Can I share PDFs directly from Lyrebird?
While you can't directly share the PDF from within Lyrebird via email or external platforms, you can easily download the PDF to your local device. Once downloaded, you have full control to share it securely via your preferred methods (e.g. secure internal network, encrypted email, or integrated EMR systems).
What happens if I edit a transcript after generating a PDF?
The PDF is a static snapshot of your transcript at the time of export. If you make any edits or updates to your transcript in Lyrebird after generating a PDF, you will need to regenerate the transcript to PDF to capture those changes. The previously generated PDF will not update automatically.
Is there a limit to how many PDFs I can generate on a Pro subscription?
You can generate as many PDFs as needed from your Lyrebird transcripts if you have a Pro subscription.
