Use case
Medical Dictation — turn doctor's letters, findings and rounds into text, GDPR-compliantly
Upload audio straight from a dictaphone, get a finished report in 2-5 min — data stays in Germany.
Medical dictations contain especially sensitive personal data — patient names, diagnoses, treatment history. DeepScript processes them exclusively on our own hardware in Germany, no US subprocessors. The Premium model is trained on medical vocabulary: Latin anatomical terms, ICD codes, medication names. For practices and hospitals the GDPR-compliant alternative to Dragon Medical and similar US services.
Recommended setup
- Model
- Premium (€0.27/hour)
- Language
- Premium model, DE-DE or DE-AT/CH depending on region — we have dedicated models for Austrian and Swiss German dictation.
- Custom Vocabulary
- ICD-10 codes, frequently-used medications, practice-specific abbreviations. We can prep a medical baseline vocabulary on request.
- Export
- DOCX for practice IT systems, JSON for direct import into electronic health record (EHR) systems.
How it works
- 1
Record the dictation
Record with a dictaphone (e.g. Philips, Olympus) or smartphone. WAV, MP3, M4A all work.
- 2
Premium + medical vocabulary
Activate Premium, load the medical vocabulary from your practice profile. We can prep the initial vocabulary with ICD-10 + top-200 active substances.
- 3
Review the report and import to system
Review in editor, double-check patient name and date of birth. Move to practice system (Medistar, Turbomed) as DOCX or via JSON import.
Worked example
Example: 4-minute dictation of a doctor's letter, DE, Premium model with medical vocabulary. Cost: €0.018 (minimum €0.01 — actually €0.02). Processing time: <60 sec. Output: structured text, DOCX export for the patient record.
Frequently asked questions
Is the data really suitable for GDPR health-data compliance?
Yes. Processing exclusively in Germany (Hetzner Nuremberg), no US subprocessor, EU-to-EU DPA under Art. 28 GDPR, separate privacy notice for health data (special categories under Art. 9 GDPR) on request. For EHR integration we provide an additional KIS-specific DPA.
How accurate is medical terminology?
With Premium model + medical vocabulary: >97% word accuracy on typical doctor's letters, in our hospital beta tests. For rare terms (e.g. tropical medicine) it's worth extending the vocabulary practice-specific.
Can DeepScript write directly into the EHR/KIS?
Not out-of-the-box — we deliver JSON and DOCX; your EHR/KIS provider needs to accept that on their side. We're happy to help with integration; FHIR output is on the roadmap.
Is my dictation used for model training?
No. We don't train on customer data or patient data. Audio + transcript are auto-deleted after 30 days (or stored permanently with Pro). Codified in our terms.
