Deepgram Extends Medical Speech Recognition to 10 Languages

Deepgram has expanded its medical-specialized speech model, Nova-3 Medical, from English-only to 10 languages including Spanish, German, Hindi, Japanese and Russian, with automatic code switching in both batch and streaming modes. On a 115-hour curated medical audio test set, the multilingual medical model cut word error rate by 25-30% and entity error rate (drugs, doses, conditions) by 37-40% compared to Deepgram's general-purpose multilingual model. It also beat competing models from ElevenLabs and Microsoft on average word error rate across all 10 languages.
