Medical AI Scribes
Take speech recognition to the next level.
From consultation to a structured document - automatically.
Medical speech recognition writes the words a clinician dictates. A medical AI scribe captures a consultation or spoken account, identifies the important information and organises it into a structured note or document within your own custom template.
The clinician or assistant then checks the AI-generated document against the original audio or source information, edits it and approves the final content before it enters the patient record. This Human-in-the-Loop review allows you to stay in control.

Medical Speech Recognition FAQs
Straight answers about medical speech recognition and AI scribes
Which medical speech recognition software is best?
Still the gold standard for verbatim medical speech-to-text, Dragon Medical One is the strongest choice for clinicians who need advanced personalisation, AutoTexts and commands. Speech Direct provides strong Windows functionality at a mid-tier price. Lexacom Echo is the simpler, lower-cost option and can expand into the wider Lexacom platform. Dragon Medical One + SpeechLive gives you the best of all options by providing a simple-to-use, cost-effective all-in-one dictation, transcription and speech recognition solution that utilises both real-time and background speech recognition - powered by Dragon Medical One.
Which medical speech recognition software works on Mac?
Dragon Medical One for Mac uses Voicepoint Helium to provide native macOS access to the clinician's Dragon Medical One profile. You can also use the same personalised Dragon Medical profile on supported Windows computers.
Which option supports recorded dictation and typist review?
Dragon Medical One + SpeechLive combines live medical speech recognition with recordings from the SpeechLive mobile app, browser or compatible professional recorder. Background-recognised text remains linked to the original audio so a typist or administrator can review it.
What is the difference between medical speech recognition and a medical AI scribe?
Medical speech recognition converts the clinician's dictated wording into text. A medical AI scribe captures a consultation or spoken account and creates a structured draft from the information. The clinician or typist can review and approve either output before using it in the patient record.
