Log anything with Quick Capture

Quick Capture lets you record something in your own words from any page, without finding the right page first. You type or say a sentence, check what the app understood, and save.

Steps

1. Select the round sparkle button (Quick capture) just above the bottom navigation. On a larger screen it sits in the bottom corner.
2. Under What happened?, type a sentence, such as "Chicken burrito bowl for lunch".
3. To speak instead, select the microphone (Dictate). When you hear a short beep and see Listening…, say your sentence. Select the microphone again to stop.
4. Select Continue. A card shows what will be saved.
5. Check and edit the fields on the card, then select Save it. Nothing is saved until you do.

Good to know

• Quick Capture can log food (with calories and protein), water in ounces, your weight, a symptom with a severity from 1 to 10, food noise, hunger, cravings and fullness, or a reminder.
• Medication doses are never logged here. Log them on the Medication page.
• If your sentence is about changing a dose, or sounds like an emergency, the card says Not recorded and nothing is saved.
• Calories or protein filled in for you are estimates. Change them if you know better.
• If you didn't give a symptom a number, the card asks how bad it is. Symptoms are assessed the same way as on the Medication page, and if one needs attention a page with guidance opens after you save.
• The microphone only appears in browsers that support dictation. If it can't hear you, a message under the box explains why.
• On Plus and above, Photo logs a meal from a picture.
