Medical speech recognition software
Your words. Your notes.

Both Dragon Medical One and Lexacom Echo are supported by VoiceX and securely hosted in Australia.

Speech recognition plus AI scribe
Echo can be a smart companion to AI Scribe users
Not every clinician needs a fully customised speech recognition setup if they are also using an AI scribe for consultation notes. In those environments, Lexacom Echo can be a practical way to handle quick edits, letters, emails, short notes and text entry where accurate medical vocabulary still matters.
For clinicians who want to drive most of their documentation by voice, Dragon Medical One remains the stronger choice. For users who want medical speech-to-text alongside AI-generated notes, Echo may be the better fit.

Dragon Medical One: best when speech recognition is your main documentation tool.
Lexacom Echo: best when you want accurate medical dictation without needing the full power-user feature set.
Clinical vocabulary matters
Why general voice recognition is not enough for clinical documentation
General voice recognition can be useful for emails and everyday documents, but clinical documentation is different. Doctors dictate medication names, procedures, diagnoses, abbreviations and specialist phrases where a small recognition error can create extra correction work. Medical speech recognition is designed for clinical context and language, resulting in significantly higher accuracy results.
Medical vocabulary
Specialist terminology matters. Medical speech recognition is designed to recognise clinical words and phrases that general voice recognition tools often misunderstand.
How doctors dictate
Clinicians often dictate in structured phrases, using punctuation, templates, abbreviations and repeated medical wording. Medical speech recognition understands the context of this documentation style.
Less correction time
Accuracy is not just about speed. The right medical speech recognition solution can reduce manual editing and help clinicians complete notes, letters, and reports more efficiently, directly into your EMR.
