What is the difference between Dictation and Quick Record?

Global Dictate is for quick notes: hold the ` key (top-left, next to 1) on any page, speak, and let go. Choose the patient under Who is this for? and a Dictation letter is created without leaving your page. Quick Record is for full consultations: you choose the letter type, record the whole conversation, and get a draft letter of that type.
