How Hosiqo compares and tests toolsFinal recommendation
Shortlist Tandem Health when generating clinical notes automatically during doctor-patient consultations to reduce documentation time matters most, and TongueType when transcribing recorded audio or video files locally, such as meeting or interview recordings matters most. Run both through a week of actual calls to see which suits your workflow.

TongueType is a privacy-focused macOS voice dictation app that turns speech into text on-device using a local Whisper AI model.
Tandem Health, founded in 2023 and based in Stockholm, builds an AI medical assistant for healthcare professionals. Its AI Scribe captures patient consultations by listening to the conversation in real time and transcribes the audio, then generates a structured clinical note ready for the clinician to review and send to their electronic health record in one click. The platform supports in-person visits and virtual consultations, and produces notes in the clinician's chosen language. Alongside the scribe, Tandem offers a Coding Assistant that suggests diagnosis and procedure codes from validated guidelines, and Clinical Decision Support that answers patient-specific clinical questions with source citations. The product integrates with more than 100 medical record systems across Europe. It is CE marked under EU MDR as Class IIa medical devices and holds ISO 13485 and ISO 27001 certifications, with GDPR compliance and a stated policy of not storing conversation audio after transcription. It is used by clinicians across general practice, mental health, veterinary, and other care settings throughout Europe.

TongueType is a voice dictation application for macOS that converts speech to text entirely on-device using a locally-run Whisper AI model, so audio never leaves the Mac. It lives in the menu bar with no dock icon, and works as a press-to-talk input method: the user holds a configurable hotkey (or uses a double-tap latch), speaks, and the transcribed text is inserted at the cursor in any application that accepts text input. Beyond live dictation, it can transcribe audio and video files (such as WAV, MP3, MP4, and MOV). It supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, with automatic language detection, plus customizable post-processing rules, overlay appearance, and microphone options. Preferences can sync across Macs via iCloud. It requires macOS 14+ on Apple Silicon (M1 or later). The app is aimed at people who want faster text entry than typing, professionals needing quick transcription, and users with typing difficulties (arthritis, RSI, tremor, and similar accessibility needs).
