Your first meeting with Listenin.
Six steps. None of them are hard. You can do the first four in the waiting room.
Say what the meeting is about
Open the app and tell it, in your own words. "Mum's follow-up about her hip" is plenty. You can type it or say it out loud.
Check the meeting type
Listenin guesses what kind of meeting it is, like Doctor or Hospital. If it guessed right, tap to confirm. If not, pick the right one from the list.
Get your questions
Listenin can suggest a few questions worth asking, based on what you told it. Keep the ones you like, swipe away the rest, add your own. You can skip this step if you want.
Choose who to update after
On the ready screen you'll see your people, like a daughter or a carer. Toggle on the ones you'd like to update after this meeting. Nothing is sent to anyone during the meeting. You decide at the end.
In the meeting: put the phone down and press start
Let the other person know: "Do you mind if I make some notes?" Then set the phone on the table. The words appear on screen as people speak.
Two buttons help you during the meeting. Simplify explains what was just said in easy words. What to ask? suggests a good next question if you're stuck.
After: read it, keep it, share it
When you press stop, Listenin writes you a short, clear note of what was said and what happens next. Tap Save to keep it on your phone. If "Email me a copy" is on, a copy arrives in your inbox too.
Then, if you want, send it to the people you picked in step 4. You'll see exactly who gets it before anything is sent.
Small tips that make a big difference
- Sit the phone closer to whoever talks most.
- Quiet rooms work better than corridors.
- Don't watch the screen the whole time. It's all being kept for you. Stay in the conversation.
- If a word flies past you, that's the moment for Simplify.
- Check the summary against your own memory while it's fresh.
