Live in-browser transcription
UK-based session transcription with consent, encrypted at rest.
You can dictate after a session or transcribe the session itself live in your browser, with the audio going from your device direct to an EU-based speech-to-text service in Dublin under the UK Addendum to the EU SCCs, never travelling through Cogent's own servers, and the transcripts coming back to be stored encrypted at rest under the relevant client folder in the UK, with access tightly controlled and logged, and kept until you delete them.
Two modes built on the same architecture.
Dictation is what most clinicians use first, opening the browser after a session and saying what happened in their own words while the text appears as they speak, so they can edit it before it ever leaves the page. Live session transcription is opt-in and only with the consenting client, with audio captured during the session converted to text in real time so there is a transcript at the end, and the transcript is then de-identified and used to draft the note in your modality's conventions. Both modes use the same architecture, which is to say the audio goes from your browser direct to the speech-to-text service and never travels through Cogent's own servers.
From your microphone to a UK-stored transcript.
- 01
Consent first.
Per-client consent is set inside the client folder, and live transcription cannot start until that consent has been recorded, with a printable consent template available on the For clients page if you would rather sign on paper before opening the browser.
- 02
Audio leaves the browser only to the speech-to-text service.
The connection is browser-to-Dublin direct, with Cogent's own servers not in that path at all, and the provider is contractually opted out of using audio or transcripts to train any model.
- 03
Audio is not stored, and only the transcript text comes back.
The provider returns text, and the audio itself is processed in flight and discarded once the transcript has been produced.
- 04
Transcript is stored encrypted at rest in the UK.
The transcript is stored encrypted at rest on Cogent's UK servers, with access tightly controlled and logged, and it is never used to train any external model or sold to anyone.
- 05
A 24-hour local backup protects the transcript while you are still working.
If you close the tab before saving the transcript to the client folder, an encrypted local copy keeps it safe for twenty-four hours so you can recover it, and it is cleared automatically after that window.
Five free sessions on every account, then hours that scale with the tier, with the transcripts kept until you delete them.
Every account includes its first five transcribed sessions free, so you can run the whole loop on real work before paying anything, and from there Starter includes five hours of live session transcription each month and Professional includes twenty-five. By default a session stops cleanly when you reach your monthly cap, the transcript is saved, and you can resume on the first of the following month when the allowance resets, with optional overage at £0.04 per minute available on Professional as an opt-in from Settings so that nobody ever receives a surprise bill. Transcripts are kept under the relevant client folder until you delete them, stored encrypted at rest inside the United Kingdom with access tightly controlled and logged, and never sold or used to train any external model, and deleting the account removes everything once the seven-day grace period has elapsed.
Try it on this week's work.
The free tier covers ten generations a month with no card to start and no time limit on the trial, so you only upgrade when Cogent has earned at least the cost of a session in time saved.
