dicta. | Accessible Medical Dictation

During my radiology rotations in Chile, I noticed something that surprised me. Some doctors could dictate their reports, while others had to type everything. The problem wasn't the lack of technology, but how expensive it was to access it. Professional microphones and software licenses were simply too costly for many people.

That's why I created dicta.

dicta. is an open-source web platform that turns a regular smartphone into a medical dictation microphone. You open the website, scan a QR code, choose a template, and start dictating. No special hardware or complicated installation.

Using Meta's Muse Voice Transcribe, dicta. supports medical dictation in English and Spanish, with specialized vocabulary, voice commands, and editable reports. I also tested synthetic medical voices to see how custom vocabulary could improve the recognition of medical terms.

With Muse Spark, the platform can also flag possible contradictions in reports, while keeping the final decision in the doctor's hands.

I'm a physician, not a software engineer. I started building this because I saw a real problem in my own field and wanted to solve it.

What excites me most is that today, people like me can use AI to build tools that once seemed out of reach.

I started with radiology, but I hope dicta. can eventually help many other professions.

For me, that's what democratizing technology really means: making useful tools accessible, and giving more people the chance to create their own solutions.
