Omi Health's medical speech-to-text model, omi-health/omi-med-stt-v1, is now available as a Telnyx STT engine, bringing self-hosted, medical-tuned transcription to voice AI workflows. Built as a fine-tune of nvidia/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2, the model targets clinical dialogue, medication names, and dosages, and runs on the same self-hosted Parakeet stack as nvidia/parakeet-v3.
omi-health/omi-med-stt-v1 is trained on clinical dialogue and transcribes medication names, dosages, and medical terminology more accurately than general-purpose models.transcription_start, TeXML <Gather> or <Transcription>, WebSocket streaming, AI Assistants transcription settings, or the Speech-to-Text REST API for file transcription.linear16 or linear32 audio at 16 kHz.
For Call Control, POST to transcription_start:
{
"transcription_engine": "Parakeet",
"transcription_engine_config": {
"transcription_engine": "Parakeet",
"transcription_model": "omi-health/omi-med-stt-v1"
}
}
For TeXML <Gather>:
<Gather transcriptionEngine="Parakeet" model="omi-health/omi-med-stt-v1">
<Say>Please describe your symptoms after the tone.</Say>
</Gather>
For WebSocket streaming:
wss://api.telnyx.com/v2/speech-to-text/transcription?transcription_engine=Parakeet&model=omi-health/omi-med-stt-v1&input_format=linear16&sample_rate=16000
On streaming surfaces, omi-health/omi-med-stt-v1 accepts linear16 or linear32 audio at 16 kHz and returns final transcripts only. No interim or partial results. Endpointing is ignored.
For file transcription, POST to the Speech-to-Text REST API. It's OpenAI SDK compatible, so swapping base_url and api_key is enough for existing Whisper-style code:
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="YOUR_TELNYX_API_KEY",
base_url="https://api.telnyx.com/v2",
)
result = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
model="omi-health/omi-med-stt-v1",
file=open("visit-recording.mp3", "rb"),
)
The REST endpoint transcribes synchronously, forces mono, and caps uploads at 100 MB.
