Speech to text for clinicians on Windows
PrivaSpeech runs locally on your Windows PC. Dictate clinical notes, referrals, and documentation without sending audio to third-party servers. Your voice stays on your machine.
Note on compliance: PrivaSpeech processes audio locally, which may support HIPAA-adjacent workflows. However, we do not offer a BAA and do not claim HIPAA compliance. Confirm with your compliance team before use in regulated environments.
The challenge
Clinical documentation shouldn't mean data exposure
Cloud dictation risks
Many speech-to-text tools stream audio to remote servers for processing. That means patient names, conditions, and treatment details may pass through third-party infrastructure.
Compliance complexity
Healthcare teams spend time vetting vendors, signing BAAs, and auditing data flows. Local processing can reduce the surface area of these reviews.
How it works
Audio stays on your device
PrivaSpeech uses a local transcription engine. No audio is sent to external APIs.

Common workflows
How clinicians use PrivaSpeech
Dictate SOAP notes, progress notes, and assessments directly into your EHR.
Speak referral details and paste into templates for specialists.
Capture discharge instructions and medication lists without typing.
Draft emails to patients or colleagues faster than typing.
A note on accuracy
Transcription accuracy depends on your microphone quality, background noise, and speaking clarity. For best results, use a quality headset or USB microphone in a quiet environment. Medical terminology may require some corrections.
We recommend testing PrivaSpeech with your typical workflow before relying on it for critical documentation.
