AssemblyAI launches Medical Mode with native code-switching transcription

AssemblyAI has introduced a new Medical Mode for its transcription models, focusing on accurate handling of code-switching within clinical conversations. Unlike systems that require language toggles, AssemblyAI's Universal-3 Pro and Universal-3.5 Pro Realtime models can seamlessly transcribe sentences that mix languages mid-utterance. This capability is crucial for medical settings where patients and clinicians frequently switch between languages, ensuring that both the medical terminology and any interspersed English qualifiers are captured correctly. AI

IMPACT Enhances accuracy for multilingual clinical settings, potentially improving documentation and patient care in diverse linguistic environments.
