Speechmatics, a leader in Voice AI innovation, has announced a strategic partnership with Edvak EHR, an AI-native electronic health record (EHR) platform, to bring highly accurate speech recognition into real-time clinical workflows. Through this collaboration, both companies aim to strengthen clinical automation while ensuring that voice-driven documentation remains safe, reliable, and scalable across healthcare organizations.
As healthcare providers increasingly adopt AI-powered tools, the need for precise speech recognition has become more critical than ever. Therefore, Edvak EHR integrated Speechmatics’ advanced speech accuracy technology directly into its platform. This integration allows clinicians to convert live patient conversations into structured and audit-ready clinical documentation. Moreover, the system automatically triggers follow-up actions such as referrals, coding support, care coordination, and other workflow processes—all within the EHR environment. Notably, Darwin AI operates natively within Edvak EHR to automate these processes, while Speechmatics ensures speech interpretation accuracy.
Accuracy plays a vital role in healthcare documentation because even a small error can lead to serious consequences. For instance, a missing word or misinterpreted phrase could completely change a patient’s diagnosis or treatment plan. Recognizing this risk, Edvak EHR sought speech recognition technology capable of handling complex medical terminology, overlapping conversations, and noisy clinical environments. As a result, Speechmatics’ English Medical Model delivers 93 percent real-time transcription accuracy and achieves 96 percent recall for medical keywords. Furthermore, the model accurately distinguishes between similar-sounding medical terms such as hypertension and hypotension and correctly captures pharmaceutical names across various accents.
These improvements significantly reduce the need for manual corrections, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care rather than administrative tasks. Additionally, the platform preserves structured clinical data required for ICD-10 coding, which strengthens documentation accuracy and enhances revenue cycle efficiency.
“Voice AI is now healthcare infrastructure, not a transcription feature. Our AI-native EHR drives next steps automatically inside the record, with clinicians able to review and adjust outputs in real time. That only works when speech understanding preserves clinical meaning. Speechmatics ensures negations, medication names and subtle distinctions remain accurate, making downstream automation trustworthy at scale,” said Vamsi Edara, Founder and CEO of Edvak EHR.
At the same time, healthcare organizations are shifting away from standalone transcription tools toward fully integrated AI-driven EHR platforms. Edvak EHR captures physician-patient conversations instantly, transforms them into structured data, and executes automated actions within the system. Consequently, this unified approach reduces clinician workload and improves overall operational efficiency while maintaining clinical accuracy.
“Edvak EHR represents the next generation of EHR systems, where AI and voice drive action, not just documentation. Healthcare professionals need systems that handle the messiness of real medicine: overlapping voices, rapid terminology and imperfect conditions. Our medical models are designed to be the reliable foundation for this level of automation. That’s how Voice AI becomes infrastructure,” said Katy Wigdahl, CEO of Speechmatics.
In addition, Speechmatics offers flexible deployment options, including on-premises, private cloud, and SaaS environments. These deployment models meet strict data residency and HIPAA-aligned compliance standards. Furthermore, the company provides multilingual medical models, enabling healthcare providers worldwide to scale Voice AI adoption securely and effectively.
Ultimately, this partnership marks a significant step forward in transforming Voice AI into a core healthcare infrastructure component. By combining automation with accurate speech recognition, Speechmatics and Edvak EHR are helping healthcare providers improve documentation quality, streamline workflows, and enhance patient care at scale.
