CAT-Talk

The increasing demand for administrative documentation in healthcare takes time away from patient care and contributes to staff burnout. Commercially available transcription services often struggle with complex medical conversations, come with high costs and pose data security concerns. CAT-Talk, CAAI’s web-based transcription platform, addresses these challenges by providing accurate, speaker-labeled, time-stamped transcriptions from audio and video recordings. CAT-Talk significantly reduces the time spent on manual transcription, giving clinicians more time to focus on patient care.

Key features of CAT-Talk:

  • Customizable tools tailored to clinicians’ needs
  • Fast, accurate transcriptions with error flags for rapid human verification
  • Integration with other LLM tools for summarization, theme extraction, and highlighting key takeaways
  • Hosted on secure, UK-owned NIST-53, HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with data encrypted at rest and in transit

A few of the many experimental projects currently supported by CAT-Talk:

  • SpeakEZ: Transcribing interviews from UK’s Nunn Center for Oral History.
  • Medical Transcriptions: Transcribing and summarizing synthetic patient-provider conversations.
  • Translation Tools: Supporting a UK History professor in transcribing and translating Turkish interviews to English.
