If you were part of the AI Scribe Beta program and received a Yeti Nano from MedMe, follow these steps to configure the hardware for optimal use as an early adopter. For additional details, refer to Logitech’s Quick Start Guide: Yeti Nano Quick Start Guide.

Step 1: Unbox and Connect the Microphone

  1. Unbox the Yeti Nano: Ensure you have the microphone, USB cable, and desk stand.

  2. Set Up the Microphone:

    • Rotate the microphone 180 degrees so the Blue logo and headphone volume control face you.

    • Adjust the angle by loosening the set-screws on the left and right of the base, then tighten them once positioned.

  3. Connect to Your Computer:

    • Plug the USB cable into the microphone’s USB port (bottom of the device).

    • Plug the other end into a USB port on your computer.

    • The headphone volume button will light up, indicating the microphone is powered.

Step 2: Position and Set the Mode for Your Pharmacy Environment

The Yeti Nano is a side-address microphone—speak into the front (Blue logo side), not the top.

  • Consultation Rooms (Multiple Speakers):

    • Position: Place the microphone in the center of the table.

    • Set to Omnidirectional Mode:

      • Press the pattern selector button on the back of the mic to toggle to omnidirectional (picks up sound from all directions).

      • This is best for capturing everyone in a group consultation.

  • Over-the-Counter (Single Speaker, Noisy Area):

    • Position: Place the microphone on the counter, 1-2 feet from the speaker, with the Blue logo facing them.

    • Set to Cardioid Mode:

      • Press the pattern selector button to toggle to cardioid (default mode; captures sound from the front).

      • This isolates the speaker’s voice and reduces background noise like customer chatter.

Step 3: Test with AI Scribe

  1. Select the Yeti Microphone:

    • On Windows: Go to Control Panel > Sound > Recording tab, select Yeti Nano.

    • On macOS: Go to System Preferences > Sound > Input tab, select Yeti Nano.

  2. Test in AI Scribe:

    • Open AI Scribe and start a test recording.

    • In consultation rooms, ensure all voices are picked up (omnidirectional).

    • Over-the-counter, confirm the speaker’s voice is clear with minimal background noise (cardioid).

  3. Adjust Volume:

    • Use the volume knob on the front to adjust the microphone's gain if needed.

Step 4: Quick Fixes

  • No Sound: Check the USB connection, make sure the Yeti Nano is selected in your sound settings, and press the front mute button if the LED is red.

  • Too Much Noise: Use cardioid mode for busy areas; position closer to the speaker.
