Summary settings

The Summary and Transcription tab in Settings controls how Dive writes the summaries it generates from your recordings — the language, the target length, the tone, and whether each summary is accompanied by a transcript. The settings apply going forward; existing summaries aren’t rewritten.

Open the panel

1. Open Settings from the navigation bar.

2. Pick Summary and Transcription from the left sidebar.

Note

There’s no Save button on this screen. Changes apply on their own a couple of seconds after you adjust a control, and you’ll see a brief confirmation.

Transcription Settings

Toggle whether Dive also produces a transcript when it summarizes a session. With it on, every summary comes with a side-by-side transcript you can scroll through. With it off, only the summary is generated.

Leave it on if you ever go back to the raw text of a session — it’s the only way to recover specific wording later.

Length of Summary (words)

A slider from 150 to 600 words (in steps of 50) that sets the target length of the generated summary. Shorter (around 150–250) suits brief check-ins; longer (450+) suits intake-heavy sessions or anything you’d hand to a colleague verbatim.

The slider is a target, not a hard cap — the actual summary may run a little shorter or longer depending on what the session contained.

Availability

Adjusting the summary length is available on the Starter plan and above. On the Free plan the length is fixed.

Formality

A three-position slider for the tone of the summary: Casual, Mixed, or Clinical.

• Casual reads like notes you’d jot for yourself — short sentences, less jargon.
• Mixed (the default) sits between casual and clinical — useful for most therapy sessions.
• Clinical sounds like a clinical record — formal phrasing, full clinical vocabulary, suitable for reports.

Summary Language

A dropdown for the language the summary itself is written in. Options: English, Hebrew (עברית), Spanish (Español).

This setting affects only the summary’s text — Dive transcribes whatever language was actually spoken in the session, and the transcript stays in that original language. It also controls the language used when you export a summary as DOCX.
