Corti's new Symphony for Speech-to-Text model beats OpenAI at medical terminology accuracy, highlighting the value of specialized AI

Today, Copenhagen-based healthcare AI Corti is launching Symphony for Speech-to-Text, a new generation of clinical-grade speech recognition models engineered specifically for real-time dictation, conversational transcription, and batch audio processing — and their accuracy rate is the highest for this specific use case yet recorded. "We are focused on ensuring our AI scribes can be trusted by physicians, medical practitioners and patients...the entire healthcare system," said Andreas Cleve, co-founder and CEO of Corti, in an exclusive video call interview with VentureBeat. The performance data the company is bringing to the table paints a stark picture of the current state of enterprise AI: when it comes to highly regulated, specialized industries, domain-specific models can beat out the foundation model providers. In a newly published research paper , Corti revealed that its new clinical-grade speech models reduced word error rates (WER) by up to 93% when compared against leading gene
