CAT-Talk

USING AI TO DRIVE INNOVATION AND AUTOMATION

CAT-Talk, developed by the Center for Applied AI (CAAI), is a secure web-based platform that streamlines speech-to-text transcription and speaker-labeling (diarization), addressing a growing need for accurate, efficient documentation in healthcare and related fields. This self-service tool enables users to quickly generate, edit, and analyze transcripts with ease, significantly reducing the burden of manual documentation. LLM-powered tools are integrated into the system allowing users to summarize transcripts or create their own custom jobs tailored to meet each project’s unique needs. CAT-Talk operates on UK-owned, NIST-compliant infrastructure, keeping your data secure.  Designed to enhance productivity, CAT-Talk empowers you to focus on what matters most.
