Shunyalabs.ai has officially launched ZeroMed, a breakthrough in medical speech recognition AI that’s redefining clinical transcription and healthcare automation. Designed for hospitals, telemedicine, and clinical documentation, ZeroMed combines best-in-class accuracy, real-time responsiveness, and privacy-first architecture — delivering a transformative edge for healthcare providers seeking efficiency and precision.
ZeroMed’s innovation is rooted in performance and accessibility. The platform achieves a Word Error Rate (WER) of 11.1% and a Character Error Rate (CER) of 5.1%, outperforming competitors such as Whisper V3, ElevenLabs Scribe, Gemini 2.5, and AWS Transcribe. What’s more, it reaches full convergence in only three days of training on two A100 GPUs, slashing data collection and compute costs while allowing continuous updates as medical language evolves.
“At Shunyalabs, we believe medical transcription must be not just fast, but flawlessly accurate — every dosage, diagnosis, and timestamp matters,” said Ritu Mehrotra, CEO and Founder of Shunyalabs.ai. “ZeroMed embodies that vision. We’ve reduced the cost and time to train, making high-fidelity ASR accessible to more healthcare systems.”
Precision in the Most Complex Speech Environment
Clinical dialogue represents one of the toughest challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. Doctors, nurses, and patients often speak quickly, use specialized terminology, and overlap during consultations — conditions that can cripple generic AI transcription tools. ZeroMed was engineered specifically for this environment, leveraging domain-aware vocabulary modeling to accurately interpret medical terms, drug names, ICD and LOINC codes, and dosage instructions.
The system’s speaker diarization feature distinguishes between clinicians, patients, and caregivers, maintaining contextual integrity even in noisy environments. Combined with context tracking and abbreviation expansion, ZeroMed produces clean, fully attributed transcripts with minimal need for manual editing.
Data Privacy Meets Real-Time Performance
ZeroMed stands out as a HIPAA-compliant speech recognition system that prioritizes both security and speed. Unlike many cloud-only ASR systems, ZeroMed supports on-premises deployment on CPU-only servers, giving hospitals full control over sensitive data and compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.
“Our goal with ZeroMed wasn’t incremental improvement — it was to redefine medical speech recognition: fewer corrections, lower latency, and complete data privacy,” said Sourav Banerjee, CTO of Shunyalabs.ai.
This privacy-first AI architecture makes ZeroMed ideal for organizations operating in regulated environments or regions with strict data governance laws.
Transforming Clinical Workflows Through AI Automation
ZeroMed’s real-time transcription capabilities unlock efficiency across multiple healthcare use cases:
- Ambient clinical scribing – automatically generates structured notes, reducing screen time and physician burnout.
- Live dictation and charting – enables instant, low-latency documentation during consultations or procedures.
- Telemedicine transcription – produces real-time transcripts for virtual visits, enhancing documentation and analytics.
- Radiology and surgical dictation – supports accurate, on-the-fly transcription in high-stakes clinical settings.
- Edge and offline deployment – ensures reliable transcription even in low-connectivity or mobile environments.
By reducing error rates and streamlining documentation, ZeroMed boosts clinical efficiency, improves record accuracy, and paves the way for downstream LLM and NLP analytics — driving smarter, data-driven healthcare operations.
Setting a New Benchmark for Clinical AI
With its fast retraining cycle and domain adaptability, ZeroMed represents a leap forward in AI for healthcare documentation. Its ability to frequently update with new terminology ensures clinicians always benefit from the most current linguistic models, supporting better outcomes and smoother adoption.
Now available for preview and pilot programs, ZeroMed invites hospitals and healthtech providers to experience its performance firsthand. The system currently supports English, with additional languages — including Indian and global variants — in development.
As AI transforms modern medicine, ZeroMed positions Shunyalabs.ai at the forefront of the clinical AI revolution, combining accuracy, privacy, and scalability in one platform.
