Medical Dictation Vocabulary

100,000+ Medical Terms. 99% Accuracy. Zero Guesswork.

100,000+ Medical Terms. 99% Accuracy. Zero Guesswork.

General dictation tools choke on “hydroxychloroquine.” They turn “Lipitor” into “lip a tour.” They have no idea what “SOAP note” means. VoiceboxMD is different. It was built from day one for clinical documentation, with a medical vocabulary engine that understands drug names, anatomy, procedures, ICD-10 codes, and the way physicians actually speak. The result: you dictate once, correctly, and move on.

Built From the Ground Up for Clinical Documentation

Consumer speech-to-text tools are trained on podcasts, YouTube videos, and social media. VoiceboxMD’s vocabulary engine is trained on millions of real clinical documents, progress notes, H&Ps, discharge summaries, operative reports, and consult letters.

That distinction matters. When you dictate “The patient presents with acute exacerbation of COPD with concomitant pneumonia,” VoiceboxMD transcribes it correctly the first time. No corrections. No red squiggles. No wasted minutes fixing what should have been right.

What this means for you: Faster charts. Fewer errors. Documentation that’s accurate enough to code from, defend in court, and hand off to colleagues without a second glance.

A Medical Dictionary That Never Stops Growing

Medicine evolves. New drugs get FDA approval every month. Procedures change names. Diagnostic criteria update. A dictation tool with a frozen vocabulary becomes a liability.

VoiceboxMD’s medical dictionary is continuously updated with new pharmaceutical names, clinical terminology, and specialty-specific language across 100+ medical disciplines, from cardiology and oncology to psychiatry and podiatry.

Coverage includes:

  • Brand and generic drug names (updated with every FDA approval cycle)
  • Anatomical terms, surgical procedures, and diagnostic studies
  • ICD-10, CPT, and CDT codes dictated by voice
  • Eponyms, abbreviations, and clinical shorthand
  • Specialty vocabularies for 100+ medical and dental disciplines

You can also add custom terms, your practice name, referring physicians, local facilities, or niche terminology specific to your specialty.

Drug Name Recognition That Gets It Right

Prescription accuracy isn’t optional, it’s patient safety. Dictate “metoprolol succinate 50 milligrams daily” and VoiceboxMD spells it correctly, with proper capitalization and dosage formatting. Dictate “Eliquis 5 mg BID” and it comes back exactly as written.

VoiceboxMD recognizes thousands of medications by both brand and generic name, including recently approved biologics, biosimilars, and specialty drugs that most speech engines have never seen.

Why this matters: Misspelled drug names create downstream errors, in pharmacy systems, insurance claims, and patient safety checks. VoiceboxMD eliminates that risk at the point of dictation, before the note is ever signed.

Medical-Grade NLP, Not Consumer Speech Recognition

VoiceboxMD uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) models trained specifically on clinical language. It doesn’t just convert sound to letters, it understands medical context.

Say “the patient is on Plaquenil for lupus” and VoiceboxMD knows “Plaquenil” is hydroxychloroquine, “lupus” is systemic lupus erythematosus, and the sentence structure is a medication reconciliation statement, not a random string of syllables.

Context-aware dictation means:

  • Homophones resolved correctly (“ileum” vs. “ilium,” “humeral” vs. “humoral”)
  • Medical abbreviations expanded or preserved based on your preference
  • Punctuation, capitalization, and formatting applied automatically
  • Self-learning AI that adapts to your voice, accent, and dictation style over time

The more you use VoiceboxMD, the more accurate it becomes, learning your patterns, your preferred phrasing, and your specialty’s unique terminology.
