Question 1

What is Heidi Dictate?

Accepted Answer

Heidi Dictate is a voice dictation tool built into the Heidi desktop app. Press a key, speak, release. Your words land wherever your cursor is: your EHR, a referral letter, Outlook, any application on your computer. Clinical vocabulary built in more than 90 languages, no training required.

Question 2

Does Dictate work on Mac and Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Heidi Dictate works on both Mac and Windows via the Heidi desktop app.

Question 3

Is Heidi Dictate the same as the other dictation features in Heidi?

Accepted Answer

No. Scribe listens to your visit and generates your clinical note. Dictate is cursor dictation, it puts your voice to work anywhere on your computer, in any app, any time. The two work together as part of the same platform.

Question 4

How is Heidi Dictate different from other dictation tools?

Accepted Answer

Most general dictation tools were not built for medicine. Heidi Dictate comes with medical vocabulary built in across 90+ languages, no voice training required. And because Dictate is part of Heidi, it works alongside Scribe — pulling in your recent patients and their medications automatically, so the right spellings are there before you start. One platform, no extra setup, built for how clinicians actually work.

Question 5

How many languages does Dictate support?

Accepted Answer

Dictate works in 90+ languages with medical vocabulary built in. No setup needed — just speak naturally from your first session.

Question 6

I already use Heidi Scribe. Do I need to do anything else to access Dictate?

Accepted Answer

Just install the Heidi desktop app, make sure it's open and you're logged in. That's it! Dictate is ready to go.

Question 7

Do I need to set anything up to get started with Heidi Dictate?

Accepted Answer

No. Dictate works from the moment you install the desktop app. No voice training, no configuration required.

That said, if you want to make Heidi Dictate your own, there are a range of customization options available. You can set a custom hotkey, choose the tone Heidi uses per app, add custom snippets (which sync across Scribe and Dictate) and configure your own verbal commands. All optional, all there when you want them.

Question 8

Does Heidi Dictate work in my EHR and other apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dictate works in any application on your computer: your EHR, Outlook, Word, browser tabs and more. If your cursor is there, Heidi Dictate works there.

Question 9

Is Heidi Dictate accurate with medical terminology?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Heidi Dictate understands medical terminology, medication names, anatomical terms and specialty-specific vocabulary from your first session, in more than 90 languages. No voice profile to build, no warmup period.

Question 10

Is Dictate free?

Accepted Answer

Heidi Dictate is free to try in all existing Heidi plans.

Question 11

Why is Heidi the best tool for dictation?

Accepted Answer

Heidi is the best dictation tool because it's clinical-grade dictation built into the platform you already use, not a separate app running alongside it. That means there's no "second tool" to license, switch between, or copy-paste out of. It's reliable medical dictation that goes wherever you do, across every app on your computer.
