What is medical dictation software?
Medical dictation software is a clinical speech-to-text tool that converts a clinician’s spoken words into typed text in real time, placing that text directly into the EHR documentation field the cursor is in. It’s designed for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, therapists, dentists, mental health professionals, and other healthcare providers who need to document patient encounters accurately without manual typing. VoiceboxMD works with Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, Practice Fusion, eClinicalWorks, and any EHR that accepts typed input, across 100+ specialties.
Who can use VoiceboxMD?
VoiceboxMD is for the full clinical workforce. Active users include MDs and DOs, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants/associates (PAs), certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs), registered nurses, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, dentists, dental hygienists, chiropractors, optometrists, pharmacists, podiatrists, and veterinarians. Pricing, the BAA, and feature access are identical regardless of role.
How is medical dictation different from an AI medical scribe?
Medical dictation transcribes exactly what the clinician says, word for word, into the active text field. The clinician controls every word in the chart. An AI medical scribe listens to the entire patient encounter and generates structured clinical notes, SOAP, H&P, billing codes, automatically. The Power plan at $79/month bundles dictation and the VoiceboxMD AI Medical Scribe so clinicians choose direct control or AI automation per encounter.
Is VoiceboxMD HIPAA compliant?
Yes. VoiceboxMD is fully HIPAA compliant, with a signed BAA included on every plan at no additional cost. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the platform passes regular third-party security audits. PHI never leaves a HIPAA-aligned environment.
How accurate is the medical vocabulary?
VoiceboxMD reaches 99% accuracy across 100,000+ medical terms, including drug names, ICD-10 codes, CPT codes, anatomical terms, surgical procedures, DSM-5-TR terminology, and clinical abbreviations. The self-learning AI adapts to each user’s voice, accent, and specialty over time. Custom vocabulary additions are supported for practice-specific terms.
