# Dictation (Voice-to-Text) in Session Notes
## Text fields within Session Notes allow you to verbally dictate your entries, making it easier and more accessible than ever to efficiently complete a note!
### Enabling Dictation (Voice-to-Text) in Session Notes
To enable dictation in a session note, you need to **enable the user privileges** to allow a specific user role to utilize voice-to-text **and** include a **text field** within your note template.
#### 📹 Watch: How to Enable User Privileges
#### Steps to Enable User Privileges:
1\. From the left hand menu navigate to **\[Settings\] \>\> \[Organization\] \>\> \[User Privileges\]**
2\.Scroll down the **\[User Abilities\]** section, select **\[Activities\]**
3\. Check the box next to **\[Enable Voice-to-Text (AI) for session note text fields\]** for the User role(s) you want to give permission to.
****
The users assigned to that role will now have the ability to utilize talk-to-text on any text field within a session note.

### Utilizing Dictation in a Session Note
#### 📹 Watch: How to Utilize Dictation in a Session Note
1\. When filling out a session note using the note wizard, select the microphone icon that appears on any text field.
2\. While you are speaking, you'll see a blue square with a circle forming around it.
3\. Select the stop icon (the square) when you are finished speaking to generate your text.
4\. Selecting the microphone a second time after you have already recorded a response will NOT allow you to add more text, you will override what was already recorded.
However, you **CAN** type additional text into the text field.
