Heidi Dictate works the same everywhere, even in MEDITECH systems. It goes wherever your cursor goes: click anywhere you’d normally type into, press the hotkey, say the words, and they appear right there.
Speak naturally as Dictate drafts your message on desktop. No more note-taking distractions. Adjust your tone, depending if it’s for a reminder for a patient or a handover to your colleague.
Draft your patient follow-ups or thread replies faster through dictation before they pile up. Press your Dictate key once and start talking.
Skip the re-keying and cut down your admin after hours. Place the cursor on Google Docs or MS Word, speak the letters to the receiving care stakeholder, then polish.
Forms, search bars, MEDITECH messages, clinical notes. Skip the manual translation step; speak one language and turn the output in another for whatever your practice requires.
Whatever you specialize in, Dictate has you covered across more than 200 specialties. It's built for the way your practice actually talks, so nothing gets lost between what you say and what lands on the page.
Dictate handles the volume of primary care: notes, scripts, referrals and recalls, written as you speak, in whatever system you use.
Dictate keeps pace with the list: op notes, post-op orders, discharge summaries and clinic letters, written as you speak, between cases or straight after you scrub out.
