Frequently asked questions

Does Canvas EMR support voice dictation?

Canvas is extensible through the Canvas SDK, and this Vicert plugin adds real-time voice dictation directly into the Canvas note body. Clinicians speak and the text appears in the note as they go, so there's no separate app to switch to.

Is voice dictation in Canvas HIPAA-ready?

Yes. Voice Dictation is built to be HIPAA-ready and runs inside your own Canvas instance. We're happy to walk your security and compliance team through how audio and note data are handled before you commit.

Does the dictation understand medical terminology?

Yes. The speech-to-text is tuned for medical vocabulary so clinical terms, medication names, and abbreviations are transcribed more accurately than a general-purpose dictation tool.

Can I add punctuation and formatting by voice?

Yes. You can speak punctuation and basic formatting commands while dictating, so notes come out structured without reaching for the keyboard.

Which notes and visit types does it work in?

Dictation works across visit and note types in Canvas, so providers can use the same hands-free workflow whether they're documenting an office visit, a telehealth encounter, or a follow-up.

How do I add Voice Dictation to my Canvas instance?

Vicert installs the plugin into your Canvas instance for you and handles updates and support afterward. Request pricing on this page and we'll follow up with next steps for your organization.
