# Veterinary Mode (beta)

Veterinary Mode is an add-on that enhances streaming transcription accuracy for veterinary terminology, such as animal medication names, procedures, and conditions. Use it for veterinary use cases where general-purpose transcription frequently gets these terms wrong.

Veterinary Mode can be used with all of our Real-time STT models.

Enable Veterinary Mode by setting the `domain` connection parameter to `"veterinary-v1"`. No other changes to your existing pipeline are required.

## Quickstart

Set `domain` to `"veterinary-v1"` as a connection parameter when you open the WebSocket.

## Use cases

Veterinary Mode is designed for veterinary AI applications where accurate clinical terminology is critical:

* **Real-time veterinary scribes**: Deliver accurate transcripts to veterinarians during or immediately after an exam.
* **Front-office voice agents**: Handle drug names and clinic-specific terminology in scheduling calls and client follow-ups.
* **Veterinary contact centers**: Transcribe calls with correct veterinary vocabulary for downstream processing and quality assurance.

## Combine with other features

Veterinary Mode works alongside other streaming features. You can combine it with:

* [Streaming Diarization](https://assemblyai.com/docs/streaming/label-speakers-and-separate-channels.md) to separate the veterinarian from the pet owner
* [Keyterms Prompting](https://assemblyai.com/docs/streaming/prompting-and-keyterms.md) to further boost accuracy for specific terms unique to your practice
