Best suited to
Who is Speech Direct best suited to?
Speech Direct suits clinicians who know what they want documented and prefer to speak the wording directly rather than type it or have AI interpret the consultation.
- Specialists and reporting clinicians creating detailed notes, letters, referrals and reports.
- GPs and allied health clinicians working across clinical systems, correspondence and browser-based applications.
- Clinicians who want reusable AutoText, custom vocabulary and configurable voice commands.
- Users who want their smartphone available as a wireless dictation microphone.
- Windows-based practices requiring local implementation, training and technical support.
Real-time medical dictation
Dictate where the clinical text needs to go.
Speech Direct converts the clinician's spoken words into text in real time. Place the cursor in a compatible application or field, dictate the required wording and review the recognised text before it is saved or finalised.
Clinical systems
Dictate clinical notes and documentation directly into compatible Windows applications and supported text fields.
Browser applications
Use Speech Direct with compatible web applications through supported Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge environments.
Documents & email
Create reports, referrals, correspondence, emails and other everyday clinical documentation by voice.
SpeechBox
When direct recognition is not supported in an application, dictate into SpeechBox, review the text and transfer it to the required field.

Configure it around your documentation
More than simple speech-to-text.
Speech Direct can be personalised around the clinician's terminology, repeated wording and common application tasks so frequently used content does not need to be recreated each time.
Custom medical vocabulary
Add specialist words and phrases to help Speech Direct recognise terminology that matters to the individual clinician.
AutoText
Insert frequently used clinical wording, report structures, standard advice and repeated paragraphs with a short spoken command.
Voice commands
Use supported spoken editing, navigation and formatting commands while creating clinical documentation.
Command Builder
Build repeatable command sequences that can combine text, keystrokes, application actions and other supported steps under a spoken command.
Before you buy
Important Speech Direct licence and compatibility information.
Licensed per author: Each Speech Direct subscription is assigned to one authorised author and should not be treated as a shared concurrent office licence.
12-month subscription: This product is supplied for a 12-month subscription term.
Windows: Speech Direct is designed for supported Windows environments and is not supplied as a native macOS application.
Mobile microphone included: A compatible iPhone or Android phone can be paired with Speech Direct and used as a wireless remote microphone.
Medical speech recognition, not an AI scribe: Speech Direct converts the clinician's dictated words into text in real time. It does not listen to a clinician-patient consultation and independently generate a clinical note.
Clinical software compatibility: Direct dictation behaviour can vary by application, browser, deployment environment and text field. VoiceX can test the intended clinical software during a trial before deployment.
Speech Direct system compatibility
Speech Direct currently supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8. Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge are supported for compatible browser-based applications.
Documented deployment options include Citrix, VMware and Microsoft Remote Desktop environments, subject to application, network and environment testing.
VoiceX recommends testing the intended clinical application during the free trial where compatibility is critical.
