You can do whatevvr you want with the audio files - have them transcribe them, summarize them, hand them to an agent, upload them to your cloud, whatever.
The standby and talk time is really great on both the pins and the credit card sized versions.
I have a lot of friends that now use them with elderly parents/their own medical care when they need to really be able to have something automatically record/transcribe the visits.

No, do not ever do this.
In the USA, providers are openly hostile to being recorded. You had better ask at the front desk if you can record anything first. They will tell you no.
If you covertly record, then they have every right to refuse you service and eject you from the exam room.
Do not ever record anything independently with your provider. They are absolutely hostile to this and there is no getting around it.
They will tell you that it is a violation of HIPAA. It is actually a violation of CYA.
Providers do not appreciate having any independent record of one-on-ones that they cannot repudiate themselves. If they didn't document it, it didn't happen. Don't record providers.
Is there a completely local option for something like this? I love the idea, but I don't love having yet another middleman in between everything I say and the model provider of my choice.
