Cardiology dictation software for Mac

Loquen is cardiology dictation software for Mac: hold one key, talk, let go, and clean, punctuated text lands at your cursor on your Mac. Its Cardiology pack holds 292 terms, so STEMI, CHA2DS2-VASc score and sacubitril-valsartan come out spelled the way you write them.

What the Cardiology pack covers

In the pack’s own words: Cardiology vocabulary covering ischemic and structural heart disease, arrhythmias, ECG and echo findings, interventional procedures, devices, and cardiovascular drugs. That is 292 entries. Each one is the spelling you want typed, most with the mishearings a general speech model produces for it. When a term shows up in a dictation, the AI cleanup is told not to “correct” it.

• NSTEMI
• NT-proBNP

A sample of 28 of the 292 terms, exactly as the pack types them.

What you say, what gets typed

The left column is how a general speech model tends to write the spoken words. The pack swaps it for the right column before the text is pasted.

How it fits the day

Say the echo impression, the cath summary or the atrial fibrillation plan the way you would say it to a colleague. Loquen pastes at the cursor in any app with a text field, including an EHR in the browser. Double-tap the key for hands-free; Esc cancels with nothing pasted.

The pack works alongside Medical core (2,307 terms, built around drug names, generic and brand, plus exam language, labs and imaging) and Pharmacology, which covers the long tail of drug classes. Every pack is included in the price. The packs are English only so far.

The pack also ships a starter set of phrases. A phrase is a named block of text: say its name anywhere in a sentence and the whole block pastes, untouched by the AI. Rename the starters, rewrite them, or add your own.

Private by default

Speech to text and AI cleanup run on the Mac’s own chip. In Private mode, the default, nothing you say leaves the computer: no audio, no text. The initial approximately 2.2 GB model download uses the network but carries no dictation. After setup, licence validation and update checks can use the network and carry no audio or text. No account, no telemetry, no screenshots. Built for HIPAA the simple way: patient notes never touch a server, so there is no server to trust. HIPAA compliance is about a practice’s whole workflow, so check with your compliance officer.
