Komodo Dictation

Installed dictation & desktop workflows

A browser drafting alternative to installed medical dictation

Traditional desktop dictation tools excel at transcription into a workstation workflow. Komodo is different on purpose: a drafting layer you open in any browser, capture on your phone, refine with phrases and templates, optionally run polish assists, then paste into your EHR when you would sign the note. Not an EHR plugin and not an ambient scribe.

Nothing to install · Works with any EHR via copy/paste · Start on Komodo Free, compare plans when you are ready

Desktop dictation vs Komodo

Both capture notes by voice. The workflow, hardware, and cost model around that recording are where they differ.

  • Typical price — ~$500–$1,500+/year per provider (enterprise licensing varies) / {essentials}/mo (native dictation + phrases + templates) · {pro}/mo (+ Komodo Assist + Komodo Voice) · {student}/mo verified student
  • Where it runs — Installed on a specific machine or connected to a hospital workstation / Any browser, any device, your account, your phrases, everywhere you sign in
  • EHR relationship — Dictates directly into the EHR note field via integration or plugin / Sits alongside your EHR. Draft here; paste when the note reads right
  • Setup — Software install, IT involvement, voice profile training, EHR plugin configuration / Browser tab, under 5 minutes from account creation to first dictated note
  • Mobile — Limited mobile support; separate app with reduced functionality / Full dictation in your phone’s browser, same draft syncs to desktop when you sign in
  • Smart phrases — Custom word and command libraries in proprietary format / 18 Modules plus a fully custom library, portable, importable, shareable
  • IT dependency — Requires IT for installation, licensing, updates, and EHR plugin maintenance / No IT involvement, each clinician manages their own account independently
  • AI drafting — Primarily speech-to-text transcription; structuring happens manually or via EHR templates / Optional Polish, Draft, Patient Instructions, and Handoff via Komodo Assist. You run them; you review them

Always review dictated and AI-assisted text before pasting into your record system.
