AI scribe startup Suki has launched Suki Dictation, a word-for-word speech-to-text tool that integrates natively into Epic and Meditech EHRs. Unlike its ambient scribe product, this tool captures spoken word verbatim — ideal for complex surgical notes and precise medical coding. It can also be embedded into third-party health tech products via API, and early pilots report saving clinicians 1–2 hours of documentation time per day.
AI scribe startup Suki has expanded its product lineup with the launch of Suki Dictation, a verbatim speech-to-text tool built natively into Epic and Meditech EHRs. Unlike Suki's flagship ambient scribe — which passively listens to patient-provider conversations and generates summarized clinical notes — this new tool captures spoken word exactly as said, making it especially useful for documenting complex surgical procedures, medical codes, and other situations where precision is critical for accurate reimbursement.
Clinicians can deploy Suki Dictation on its own or alongside the ambient tool, giving them the flexibility to choose the right documentation method for each patient encounter. The tool uses automatic speech recognition that learns a user's vocabulary over time and filters out filler words. It's also available to health tech companies via API and SDKs, allowing them to embed enterprise-grade dictation into their own platforms without building from scratch.
By the Numbers:
Why it matters: Clinical documentation is one of the biggest time drains in healthcare. Tools like Suki Dictation that offer flexible, EHR-integrated AI documentation could meaningfully reduce clinician burnout and improve note accuracy — both of which have direct patient care implications.
