Case Study: a leading medical tech transcription platform achieves 40x faster, 90% cheaper medical transcription with Deepgram

Leading Medical Tech Transcription Platform cuts transcription costs 90% with Deepgram

A leading medical technology transcription platform faced significant challenges with its previous AI speech-to-text solution, which was plagued by high costs, slow latency, and inadequate accuracy for critical medical terminology. These issues risked patient safety and diminished clinical productivity. The platform turned to vendor Deepgram to leverage its specialized Nova-3 Medical speech model to overcome these hurdles.

By implementing Deepgram's AI on a scalable AWS infrastructure, the solution achieved a 30% lower word error rate and transcription speeds 40x faster than competitors. Deepgram's technology dramatically reduced costs from 7.4 cents per minute to less than 0.5 cents per minute, saving the platform 80-90%. This resulted in immediate physician adoption, substantial time savings, and enhanced patient care.
