How to record a visit with Visit

Visit records your pediatrician appointment with your doctor's permission, shows live captions while they talk, and turns their instructions into a plain-language recap you can review at home.


Start a Visit session

  • Tap Visit in the bottom navigation bar.

  • Tap Record a visit now (for a same-day visit) or open an upcoming appointment and tap Start Visit.

Step 1 — Prepare

  • Review Visit details: confirm the provider, visit type, and child's name.

  • Check your Questions to ask agenda.

  • Read the consent script to your doctor before you tap record.

The consent script reads: "Hi [Provider], I use Kiri to help me keep track of [child]'s care. It can record our visit so I can review your instructions later and follow them correctly. Is that OK with you?"

Step 2 — Consent

  • If the doctor agrees, tap Doctor agreed — start recording. Kiri starts recording and shows live captions.

  • If the doctor declines, tap Doctor declined — notes only. You can still take notes and get a recap. See What if my doctor won't allow recording?

Step 3 — Record

  • A REC indicator and elapsed timer confirm the recording is active.

  • Live transcript text appears on screen as your doctor speaks and stabilizes a few moments later.

  • Tick off questions in the Questions panel as they come up.

  • Add a note mid-visit using Open notes.

  • Capture handouts or prescriptions using the camera icon.

  • Tap Stop recording when the visit ends.

Step 4 — Organize

Kiri transcribes the recording, extracts the key instructions, and drafts follow-up reminders. This usually takes less than a minute. You can add a private parent note while you wait, then continue to the recap.

Step 5 — Recap & save

Review your Key Things to Remember, set up any reminder drafts that feel useful, and tap Finish & save visit. The visit is saved to your child's record and available under Previous visits any time.

Requirements

  • Recording and live transcription require iOS 26 or later.

  • Transcription supports US English only.

  • Kiri needs microphone access. If prompted, allow it in Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone.
