Whether you are writing a document or editing an existing document, Tali's Medical Dictation will speed up the process for you.
Dictating in the Chrome Extension
Dictating directly into your EHR
If you're logged into the Chrome Extension, you can dictate directly into your web-based EHR:
Select the text field in your EHR where you're writing your document; the microphone button on the Tali extension will turn green
Start talking, including punctuation. Tali will write down what you say. It does take a few seconds to process what you're saying, as it looks at the words as groups to best identify what you're saying. Just keep talking and it will catch up.
You can pause or stop at anytime, and restart.
Dictating into the Sidebar

When you're finished, click the checkmark and then click 'Copy' to copy the dictated text to your clipboard. You can then paste it where you want it.

If we have missed your favourite command, just drop us a line using the feedback button in the sidebar or send an email to [email protected] and we'll pop it in.
Understanding Different Accents
Tali's been designed to understand a broad variety of accents using both technical and non-technical vocabularies. Tali’s language model is trained using state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms on a multitude of medical resources and guidelines and as a result, it picks up medical terminology and abbreviations a lot more intelligently than a non-specialized voice-to-text solution.
In addition, we have gathered a growing set of audio files from different accents reading medical notes to fine-tune our algorithm and make it more efficient, which will be a bonus if you are experiencing difficulties with your accent in other dictation and scribe solutions.
