Corti Democratizes Healthcare Dictation with New Specialized API

Corti, the leading AI infrastructure provider for healthcare, has opened access to its healthcare-specialized Dictation API, powered by its Solo foundation model. The new offering aims to democratize premium dictation technology, enabling software vendors of all sizes to compete with existing solutions and customize them for diverse healthcare practitioners.

The company's approach directly addresses the limitations of general-purpose speech recognition tools like Whisper, which can have word error rates as high as 40% on medical dictation. Corti's purpose-built healthcare technology has demonstrated accuracy rates of up to 99%, significantly outperforming the industry standard of 92%.

The specialized Dictation API includes several key capabilities essential for medical environments:

  • Dynamic command recognition for controlling any software system

  • Continuous learning of new medical terminology and specialties

  • Real-time dictation that enhances user experience and workflow integration

Designed for versatility, the technology functions effectively across various clinical settings including radiology departments, emergency rooms, primary care offices, and mental health facilities. This flexibility transforms documentation from a burden into a streamlined, value-adding process.

"Radiology is a perfect example of where general-purpose ambient AI falls short," noted Frederik Brabant, MD, Chief Medical Strategy Officer at Corti. "Radiologists need extremely precise language and real-time control. Our specialized solution supports faster reporting with reduced cognitive load, preserving the radiologist's thought process."

Beyond accuracy, Corti distinguishes itself through implementation simplicity. The lightweight API can be integrated into any healthcare application with minimal engineering resources. Its web component SDK enables browser-based deployment in under an hour—dramatically faster than traditional timelines of weeks or months.

This combination of technical precision, workflow compatibility, and rapid integration positions Corti to help healthcare systems modernize their clinical documentation with tools specifically designed for medicine's complexities. By focusing on the specialized needs of healthcare professionals, Corti's technology allows clinicians to create more accurate records while maintaining their focus on patient care.
