Configuring Voice Perio

After you have purchased Dentrix Ascend Voice Perio licenses and received a welcome email message from Henry Schein One, and you have purchased microphones, you must configure Voice Perio before you can start using voice commands to enter and edit perio exams. The configuration requires you to install, register, and set up the browser extension (for Chrome browsers only) powered by Bola AI. Then, you can test your microphone.

To configure Voice Perio

1. Install the extension:

   1. On a computer that you want to use Voice Perio, visit the link provided in the welcome email or https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bola-ai-voice-perio-chrom/efcpoommkbigcpbekkjpmfcdbpgggfjg/related.

      The chrome web store page opens in your browser.

      

   2. Click (or tap) Add to Chrome.

      A confirmation message appears.

      

   3. Click (or tap) Add extension.

      When the extension has been added, a message appears.

      

   4. Click (or tap) the X to close the message.

   5. To pin the extension to the top of the browser, on the Extensions menu, click (or tap) the Pin icon next to Bola Dental Chrome.

      

      The Bola Dental icon now appears at the top of the browser for quick access.

      

2. Register the extension:

   1. Click (or tap) the Bola Dental icon , and then click (or tap) Help on the menu that appears.

      

      The Bola.AI page appears.

   2. Select the Subscription (License) tab on the left.

      

   3. Copy the license key from the welcome email message that you received after purchasing a license, and then paste it into the License Key box.

      Tip: To make the box active so that you can paste in the license key, click (or tap) immediately after the words "License Key."

   4. Click (or tap) Register.

      A message appears.

      

   5. Click (or tap) OK.

      The extension is now registered on the computer.

      

3. Set up the extension:

   1. On the Bola AI page, select the Configuration tab on the left.

      

   2. Set up the following default options for all exams:

      • Read Back to Me - With this check box selected, while you are charting pocket depths or gingival margins continuously, a voice repeats back to you what Voice Perio has heard and entered. This may help you stay on track.

        Note: When you start a new exam, or when you first open an existing exam to edit it, you can turn this functionality on or off for the exam.

      • Detect Missed Pocket Depths - With this check box selected, Voice Perio will automatically insert a zero (0) for any missing pocket depths it detects. This helps ensure that the rest of your chart is accurate and allows you to go back and correct the value after the charting is complete.

        Note: When you start a new exam, or when you first open an existing exam to edit it, you can turn this functionality on or off for the exam.

      • Midline Chime - To have a feedback sound (a click-pop) play when your charting has crossed the midline of the mouth, select this check box. To not have a sound play, clear this check box (click, or tap, the check mark to remove it).

      • Periodontal Index (PI) - To have Voice Perio display the periodontal index after you finish an exam, select this check box. To not have the periodontal index appear after an exam, clear this check box (click, or tap, the check mark to remove it).

4. Verify if your microphone works with the extension:

   1. Plug in the USB connector of the microphone.

   2. On the Bola AI page, select the Training tab on the left, or visit https://prod-dental-web-app.bola.ai/.

      

   3. Click (or tap) the Check Mic button .

   4. If the Chrome browser prompts you to grant permission for the website to use your microphone, click (or tap) Allow.

      

      A volume indicator appears.

      

   5. Speak into your microphone. If you see a blue volume-indicator bar lengthen and shorten as you speak, your microphone is working.

   6. Click (or tap) Done.

   7. If the microphone check was not successful, verify if the microphone is being blocked by Chrome:

      • If you see a This page has been blocked from using your microphone icon, the microphone is being blocked.

        

        Do the following to unblock the microphone:

        1. Click (or tap) the icon to open a menu.

           

        2. Select the Always allow option, and then click (or tap) Done.

        3. Reload the page.

      • If you see a This page is accessing your microphone icon, the microphone is not being blocked.

        

   8. If the microphone is not being blocked but still does not work, try the following:

      1. Unplug and plug in the USB connector of the microphone, and then repeat steps 3-7 as needed.

      2. Close all open browser tabs and windows, and then restart the browser.

      3. Restart the computer.
