One word changes everything: Speechmatics and Edvak EHR partner to make voice AI safe for clinical automation at scale

Speechmatics, the Voice AI company on a mission to understand every voice, is partnering with Edvak EHR, an AI-native EHR platform, to move Voice AI from a transcription service to healthcare infrastructure.

The collaboration enables Edvak EHR to transform real-time clinical conversations into structured, audit-ready documentation with clinician-in-the-loop controls, driving execution directly within the EHR including tasks, follow-ups, referrals, care coordination and coding support.

Darwin AI is embedded natively within Edvak EHR, powering real-time speech understanding and workflow automation.

Speechmatics provides the speech accuracy layer that allows Edvak EHR to operate safely and reliably at enterprise scale.

Voice AI is now healthcare infrastructure, not a transcription feature. Edvak’s AI-native EHR drives the next steps automatically inside the EHR, with clinicians able to review and adjust outputs in real time. That only works when speech understanding preserves critical clinical meaning in real conditions. Speechmatics ensures negations, medication names and subtle distinctions stay accurate, making downstream automation trustworthy at enterprise scale.

Why accuracy matters in clinical automation

When a doctor says "no fever and nausea" and the system transcribes "fever and nausea," that single dropped word flips the documented clinical context and downstream actions. In an AI-native EHR environment, where voice directly triggers automated workflows, this level of error cascades into incorrect documentation and coding signals, inappropriate clinical decision support and flawed care coordination.

Edvak EHR needed speech recognition that performs under real clinical pressure: rapid medical terminology, noisy environments, overlapping dialogue and ambiguous pronunciations. Speechmatics' English Medical Model delivered.

Trained on over 16 billion words of real medical conversations, the Speechmatics model achieves 93% general real-time accuracy (7% WER) and 96% medical keyword recall, with a medical keyword error rate 50% lower than the nearest competitor.

These gains reduce clinician corrections, improve downstream documentation quality and allow Edvak EHR to trigger workflows reliably across patient access, care coordination and revenue cycle operations.

The model distinguishes between words such as "hypertension" and "hypotension" in noisy emergency rooms, understands pharmaceutical names with regional accents, handles overlapping clinician-patient speech, and parses medical abbreviations and drug dosages while preserving structured clinical concepts used by downstream systems for ICD-10 coding.

Edvak EHR represents the next generation of EHR systems, where AI and voice drive action, not just documentation. Healthcare professionals need systems that handle the messiness of real medicine: overlapping voices, rapid terminology, imperfect conditions. Our medical models are designed to be the reliable foundation for this level of automation. That's how Voice AI becomes infrastructure.

From transcription to infrastructure

Healthcare is starting to deploy Voice AI differently. Rather than treating speech recognition as a standalone transcription service, it is becoming the foundational intelligence layer inside AI-native EHR platforms like Edvak EHR.

Edvak EHR captures physician-patient conversations in real time, converts them into structured, reviewable clinical data, and executes actions directly within the EHR, reducing administrative burden and allowing clinicians to focus on patient care rather than documentation.

Darwin AI is embedded directly within Edvak EHR workflows, integrating speech-driven automation across documentation, tasking, care coordination and revenue cycle operations.

Unlike cloud-only competitors, Speechmatics offers on-premises, private cloud and SaaS deployment, critical for organizations navigating data residency requirements and supporting HIPAA-aligned compliance programs across regulatory frameworks.

Speechmatics' medical models are available across multiple languages including English, German, French, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish and Arabic, supporting enterprise-scale deployments across diverse clinical environments and international healthcare organizations.
