Clinical Dictation Support

Dictate SOAP notes, progress notes, and discharge summaries naturally. Whisper handles medical speech patterns, including rapid dictation, abbreviation expansion, and clinical phrasing.

Patient Data Never Leaves Your Device

Zero audio upload. Zero cloud processing. Zero data retention. The AI model runs entirely in your browser — a critical advantage when handling Protected Health Information (PHI).

Medical Vocabulary Recognition

OpenAI Whisper was trained on diverse medical content and recognizes common drug names, procedures, anatomical terms, and diagnostic codes — though a clinical review is always recommended.

Dictate Between Patients

Transcribe a 5-minute dictation in under a minute with WebGPU. Fits into the workflow between patient visits without slowing down your clinic schedule.

Export to Your EHR Workflow

Export as plain text for pasting into your EHR system, or save as TXT/JSON for structured documentation. No proprietary format lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Whisper Web HIPAA compliant?
Whisper Web processes all audio locally in your browser — no audio is transmitted, stored, or accessible by any third party. While HIPAA compliance depends on your overall workflow and organizational policies, the fact that no PHI leaves your device eliminates the primary risk vector of cloud-based transcription services. Consult your compliance officer for your specific use case.
How accurate is it with medical terminology?
Whisper recognizes common medical terms, drug names (especially widely-prescribed medications), anatomical terminology, and procedural language. Accuracy is generally strong for standard clinical vocabulary. Less common terms, brand-name medications, and highly specialized subspecialty language should be verified during your review.
Can I dictate directly into Whisper Web?
Yes. Click the microphone button to record directly from your browser. This is ideal for dictating notes between patients. You can also upload pre-recorded audio from a digital voice recorder or phone app.
How long does it take to transcribe a typical dictation?
A 5-minute clinical dictation typically transcribes in under 60 seconds with WebGPU enabled. A 15-minute therapy session note takes 2-3 minutes. This fits comfortably between patient appointments without disrupting your workflow.
Can it handle dictation with medical abbreviations?
Whisper transcribes what is spoken. If you say 'BID' or 'PRN,' it will appear as spoken. It does not auto-expand abbreviations. Many clinicians find it efficient to dictate naturally and expand abbreviations during the quick review pass before pasting into their EHR.
Does my patient's audio data get stored anywhere?
No. Absolutely nothing is stored, uploaded, or transmitted. The AI model runs entirely in your browser's memory. When you close the tab, the audio and transcript are gone unless you explicitly save or export them. There is no server, no cloud, and no data collection whatsoever.
