Telehealth with Headsets: Why Most Medical Transcription Software Can’t Work, But ScribeAI Can

Last updated: Written by: Eric Wang

In the age of telemedicine, the use of headsets has become a common practice for healthcare professionals. Whether for privacy, comfort, or clear communication with patients, doctors and medical staff often rely on headsets during virtual consultations. However, many standard medical transcription software solutions face challenges when it comes to transcribing conversations in telehealth settings with headsets. This is where ScribeAI stands out.

The Challenge with Headsets and Traditional Medical Transcription Software

In most telehealth scenarios, doctors use headsets to communicate with patients, which presents a unique problem for transcription software. Here’s why:

  1. Audio Isolation: Headsets usually isolate the audio output (patient's voice) from the computer’s speakers, making it difficult for traditional transcription systems to capture the conversation. Most transcription software relies on microphone input or the system’s speaker output to capture and transcribe audio. When a doctor wears a headset, the software can’t access the sound directly from the headset, which often results in no transcription or poor quality transcription.

  2. Device Limitations: Most transcription tools are not equipped to handle audio input directly from a headset. They typically work with microphones, but as telehealth moves toward more secure, private settings using headsets, transcription tools can’t keep up with this shift in technology.
