Getting the Most Accurate Transcription

96% accuracy is the baseline. A few habits push it higher on every visit.

Clinic Scribe reaches 96% transcription accuracy across more than fifteen medical specialties in clear audio conditions. The engine is trained on clinical language, so medication names, dosages, and specialty terminology are recognized and placed in the right part of the note. The number is a baseline, not a ceiling: a handful of habits reliably push accuracy higher, and they take seconds.

What drives accuracy

FactorWhy it mattersWhat to do
Room noiseThe single biggest factor in transcription qualityClose the door; keep fans, music, and hallway noise away from the mic
Microphone levelToo quiet and words drop; too loud and they clipRun the built-in mic check and confirm the level moves at a normal speaking distance
Turn-takingOverlapping speech is hard to attributeLet people finish sentences; natural pauses keep speaker labels clean
TerminologySpecialty terms and drug namesSpeak them as you normally would; the model is trained for clinical language

Speaker labels

Clinic Scribe distinguishes two speakers and labels the transcript as you and your patient. If the roles come out reversed, use Swap speakers once and the correction holds for the rest of the session. Clean speaker labels matter because the note relies on them: what the patient reports belongs in different sections than what you observe.

Terminology and languages

The transcription is built for clinical use, so it handles medication names, dosages, and specialty vocabulary without you spelling them out. Notes can be produced in English or Spanish, and the output language is your choice regardless of the language spoken in the visit.

When something still looks off

The note is always yours to review before it goes anywhere. Open the full transcript to verify a phrase, edit the note directly, or regenerate it in another format. Reviewing before export is the habit we recommend to every clinician, because a thirty-second read is what turns a fast draft into a note you can sign.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is Clinic Scribe transcription?

Clinic Scribe reaches 96% transcription accuracy across more than fifteen medical specialties in clear audio conditions. It is trained on clinical language, so medication names, dosages, and specialty terms are transcribed and placed correctly in the note.

How can I improve transcription accuracy?

Record in a low-noise room, run the built-in microphone check so your input level is right, let people finish sentences to keep speaker labels clean, and confirm the speaker labels are correct. Room noise is the single biggest factor.

What languages does Clinic Scribe support?

Clinic Scribe supports English and Spanish for both transcription and note generation. You choose the output language, and the note comes out in that language regardless of the language spoken during the visit.

The speakers are labeled backwards. How do I fix it?

Use the Swap speakers control once. It corrects the labels for the rest of the session, so what the patient says and what you say land in the right sections of the note.
