Build with accurate medical transcription

Create an API key in the console, export it as OMI_API_KEY, then choose an example. Start with a clip under 30 seconds so automatic language detection returns inline on every plan. The endpoint is OpenAI-compatible, so existing OpenAI SDK clients only need a different base URL.

curl https://api.omi.health/v1/audio/transcriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OMI_API_KEY" \
  -F [email protected] \
  -F model=omi-medical-1 \
  -F language=auto \
  -F response_format=verbose_json

python -m pip install openai

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.omi.health/v1",
    api_key=os.environ["OMI_API_KEY"],
)

with open("short-dictation.wav", "rb") as audio:
    result = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
        model="omi-medical-1",
        file=audio,
        response_format="verbose_json",
        extra_body={"language": "auto"},
    )

print(result.text)

npm install openai

import fs from "node:fs";
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api.omi.health/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.OMI_API_KEY,
});

const result = await client.audio.transcriptions.create({
  model: "omi-medical-1",
  file: fs.createReadStream("short-dictation.wav"),
  response_format: "verbose_json",
  language: "auto",
});

console.log(result.text);

Use verbose_json when you need timestamps, language metadata, model information, or a request ID for support. Use text for plain text and json for the smallest JSON response.

• English is the benchmarked, medically evaluated language.
• Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Arabic, and Hindi are available for testing and evaluation, and are not medically evaluated.
• language=auto
• detects the spoken language on short inline requests. Automatic detection on long jobs is a Pro/Enterprise entitlement.
• Encounter vocabulary accepts up to 1,000 terms against one shared 50-term budget; focused 5–50 term lists all apply directly.
• Speaker labels and word timestamps decorate sealed transcript text; the decoration lane cannot rewrite it.
• Patterns can recover expected dosage and identifier formatting, when enabled on your key, without acting as a source of transcript truth.
