What languages does Medical Mode support for medical transcription?

English, Spanish, German, and French, on both pre-recorded and realtime audio.

Can it handle a visit where the speaker switches languages?

Yes — Universal-3.5 Pro supports native intra-utterance code-switching, so a bilingual conversation transcribes as one coherent record.

Is the medical accuracy the same in Spanish as in English?

Medical Mode's entity accuracy applies across all four supported languages.

Do I need a different model per language?

No. One model, one parameter (domain: "medical-v1") covers all four languages.

What about medical transcription in languages beyond these four?

For broad coverage without Medical Mode, Universal-2 supports 99+ languages; Medical Mode itself is EN/ES/DE/FR today.

How much does multilingual medical transcription cost?

$0.15/hr add-on, same price in every region including EU data residency.

Multilingual medical

Clinical accuracy in English, Spanish, German, and French

Real clinical conversations switch languages mid-sentence. Medical Mode runs on Universal-3.5 Pro across four languages with native code-switching, so a Spanish-English visit transcribes as one accurate record — not two broken ones. One parameter, async or realtime.
