Languages
Corti speech to text is specifically designed for use in the healthcare domain. A tier system has been introduced to categorize functionality and performance that is available per language and endpoint. Languages in the Enhanced and Premier tiers have the utmost functionality and recognition accuracy - they’re the ones recommended for dictation use.
Interim Results
Interim results are low latency previews of final transcript text used to present visual feedback to the user, during active dictation, to bring reassurance that audio is being processed. This enables real-time quality validation.
Punctuation
Punctuation is essential for coherent documentation. Setting the
spokenPunctuation parameter to true in /transcribe configuration enables users to control when punctuation is inserted in the document output. Additionally, the parameter automaticPunctuation can be used to have the AI model add periods and commas as appropriate.Commands
