💡 Therapist Tips

  • Best for catch-up: Input Text is perfect if you jot down quick bullets during sessions and want to clean them up later.

  • Great for late-night notes: Even if you’re tired, just paste what you managed to type - Supanote does the heavy lifting.

  • Consistency bonus: If you always want notes to use terms like “Pt” or “clinician”, set these in Note Preferences so Supanote applies them automatically.
