Veterinary transcription API: handling species, breeds, and vet drug names
Blog post from AssemblyAI
Veterinary transcription presents unique challenges due to the complex audio environment of exam rooms and the specialized vocabulary related to species, breeds, and veterinary drug names, which general transcription models often fail to handle accurately. The Universal-3 Pro model, combined with Medical Mode, offers a solution by leveraging its capabilities in human clinical language to cover shared pharmacological and anatomical terms, while keyterms prompting allows customization for vet-specific vocabulary, enhancing transcription accuracy. Keyterms prompting is crucial for accurately recognizing veterinary-specific terms by allowing users to input a list of important names and phrases, thus ensuring that essential information like drug names and breed-specific details are captured correctly. Additionally, speaker diarization helps distinguish between multiple speakers in a noisy clinic environment, providing clear and structured transcripts that attribute statements to the correct individual, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of clinical records.
