Step 1
Enable the Medical term pack
One toggle in the Dictionary tab (or pick "Medical & healthcare" at signup). Drug names, diagnoses, and clinical vocabulary are recognized from then on — Médico (Español) available too for bilingual dictation
-
Step 2
Open what you're writing
A paper or grant draft, lecture slides, a de-identified teaching case, an email to your department — Word, Google Docs, Outlook, PowerPoint, or any other app
-
Step 3
Hold Ctrl + Space, dictate
Say it naturally: "In this cohort, patients started on metoprolol after a first myocardial infarction..."
-
Step 4
Release
Pithflow transcribes and cleans up filler in about a second and a half on our servers, then pastes the text into the active field — terminology intact
-
Step 5
Review
Output is a polished paragraph — minor edits and you're done. Anything misheard: Fix a word, in the History list on Home, corrects it from then on
Pithflow is not HIPAA-eligible and does not sign BAAs, so do not dictate protected health information with it. Notes about identifiable patients belong in a tool whose vendor signs a BAA with your organization.
Can I dictate patient notes with Pithflow?
No. Pithflow is not HIPAA-eligible and does not sign BAAs, so do not dictate protected health information with it. Notes about identifiable patients belong in a tool whose vendor signs a BAA with your organization. Use Pithflow for research, teaching, de-identified cases and administrative writing.
Does it spell drug names and diagnoses correctly?
Turn on the Medical term pack in the Dictionary tab and Pithflow recognizes drug names, diagnoses and clinical vocabulary. There is a Spanish medical pack too, and you can add your own terms to the Personal Dictionary.
Does it work in Word, PowerPoint and Outlook?
Yes. Pithflow puts the text into whatever field has focus, so Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Google Docs and web forms all work without an integration.
Can I mix Spanish and English?
Yes. Pithflow detects the language of each dictation, and Spanish and English can be mixed in the same sentence.
