Can I use the summary as final counselling notes?
Treat it as working material. Review, edit and select what is appropriate before using any generated wording in your documentation.
AI session summaries as a starting point for your notes
A summary offers a shorter view of recorded session material. Cognic organises the main conversation themes into working material that you can review and edit after the session.
After processing a recording, Cognic prepares a structured summary and conversation themes. The summary helps you revisit session context, but it is a draft: check its wording and decide what to use in your own note.
A summary and a note serve different purposes
A summary condenses the conversation. Your note reflects the material you have selected and reviewed for your documentation. Moving between them requires professional judgement, not simply copying generated text.
Check details before using the draft
Read the generated summary for missing context, unsupported wording and details that need correction. When the recording or transcript is available in the session, you can use that material during review.
Use conversation themes to revisit context
Cognic can organise conversation themes alongside the summary. They help you navigate the material; any estimated emphasis is not a scientific measurement or a clinical conclusion.
Check which materials are available
When recording starts, check the setting for saving the recording. After processing, check the material available in that session. Do not assume that audio or a transcript will be accessible for every session.
FAQ
Does a summary replace a transcript?
No. A summary condenses the conversation, while a transcript provides a text representation of the dialogue. Check whether the transcript is available in the session before relying on it for review.
