AssemblyAI enhances medical transcription accuracy with new 'Medical Mode'

AssemblyAI has introduced a new "Medical Mode" for its Universal-3 Pro and Universal-3.5 Pro Realtime speech-to-text models. This feature, activated by a single configuration parameter, aims to reduce missed medical entities by approximately 20% compared to the standard models. The mode specifically enhances the accuracy of transcribing clinical vocabulary, such as drug names and medical procedures, without requiring users to switch models or re-integrate their systems. Benchmarks indicate that Medical Mode achieves a lower Missed Entity Rate (MER) than competitors like Deepgram, Speechmatics, AWS, and Google. AI
