# Co-Pilot and Freestyle FAQ - Kiroku AI Voice Features

## Find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions regarding our AI voice features - Co-Pilot and Freestyle.

**Kiroku is GDPR and HIPAA compliant**

### What happens to recordings? Are they stored?

Audio recordings made during your consultation are never stored - only transcribed and then the recording is removed.

### Do I need to ask for patient consent before using AI transcription?

In the UK, explicit or written consent is not a legal requirement for the use of our Voice features, however, telling patients is the expected standard under NHS England guidance.

We advise you ask something like: **“*I use an AI transcription software to help me take notes, so I can focus on you rather than my screen. No audio is saved, and final notes will always be completed by me. Are you happy for me to use it today?*”**

**Patients must get a clear chance to object.** If they do, the appointment goes ahead without use of Freestyle or Co-Pilot.

We have a poster available for**[download here](https://help.trykiroku.com/hubfs/Marketing%20Collateral/Downloads%20and%20Guides/A4%20Practice%20Poster%20Kiroku%20AI.pdf)** which you may wish to display in your practice. 

### Is our data used to train the AI?

No. All data is encrypted end to end and your data is never used to retrain the model.

### What microphone can I use?

Any type of microphone can be used - built-in, desktop, lapel mic, even you rmobile phone. Each of these has advantages and disadvantages and we have further**[advice on selecting a microphone here](https://help.trykiroku.com/what-mic-do-you-recommend)**, as well as some recommendations for specific models. 

### How can I get Co-Pilot or Freestyle to include more details from my transcript?

If you've completed a voice appointment and you'd like to add more detail to your notes, you can  use our [AI Editor](https://help.trykiroku.com/using-the-notes-ai-editor) to do this. 

AI Editor has quick tasks to add more detail to the treatment or discussion sections, and you can give it your own custom requests as well eg. "*Add more details from our discussion about risks and benefits*".
