Account settings, AI & Spanish mode

What is this?
Section titled “What is this?”Settings (/admin/settings on the web and the Settings tab on iPhone) controls how Docu-Coach™ polishes your recordings, which language your interface and notes use (English or Español / Spanish mode), and which summary emails you receive.
When would I use it?
Section titled “When would I use it?”- Turning Auto-polish on or off, adding custom personal polish instructions, or running Polish recordings missing notes to backfill unpolished captures.
- Configuring a personal OpenAI API key (Bring Your Own Key) or running Test sample recording.

How do I use it?
Section titled “How do I use it?”1. AI preferences, custom persona & backfill (Settings → AI)
Section titled “1. AI preferences, custom persona & backfill (Settings → AI)”- Open Settings → AI (
/admin/settings?tab=ai). - Auto-polish: Keep this toggle On so new recording audio and transcript text are sent to OpenAI to generate structured notes automatically. Turn it Off if you want new captures saved unpolished until you run polish manually.
- AI persona & instructions: Add optional Markdown instructions (such as site-specific shift codes, role abbreviations, or formatting rules) that layer on top of Docu-Coach™’s built-in factual persona, then click Save persona instructions. You can expand View built-in UHP persona (read-only) to inspect the base rules.
- Bring your own keys (optional): Paste a personal
sk-…OpenAI API key and click Save key if you want your account’s transcription and polish requests to use your own OpenAI key instead of the workspace default. Click Test sample recording to test a short bundled audio clip through Whisper and GPT polish. - Polish recordings missing notes: If you have recordings queued without polished notes, click Polish recordings missing notes to process up to 5 recordings per click (oldest first).
2. Language & Spanish mode (English / Español)

On iPhone (Enable Spanish mode)
Section titled “On iPhone (Enable Spanish mode)”- Open the Settings tab in the Docu-Coach™ iPhone app.
- Toggle Enable Spanish mode on.
- What Spanish mode does on iPhone:
