Augnito vs Corti (2026)
Two companies that came to ambient documentation from clinical speech, selling at different layers. Augnito, from the UK transcription firm Scribetech, pairs Spectra front end speech recognition across 55 or more specialties with Omni ambient documentation, an MHRA Class I registered device that writes notes, letters and ICD-10 and SNOMED coding, and it markets accuracy across regional accents from Indian and African English to Welsh, Scottish and Irish. Corti sells its own speech, note generation and coding models as infrastructure through APIs, with published usage pricing, EU or US hosting, a sovereign cloud that can run on premise, and FactsR for live fact by fact review. If you are moving clinicians off dictation and want both modes from one vendor, start with Augnito. If you intend to build or embed the documentation layer yourself, start with Corti.
- Speech recognition and ambient documentation come from one platform, with Spectra covering 55 or more specialties and Omni producing notes, clinical and referral letters, and ICD-10 and SNOMED coding.
- Accent coverage is the pitch. Augnito owns and trains its own models, tunes them per specialty, and names Indian English, African English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish among the accents it targets, with capture in more than 37 languages.
- More than two decades of NHS transcription work sit behind it, and an API and SDK already embed its speech in a widely used UK radiology information system.
- The models are sold as infrastructure through documented APIs and SDKs, with usage pricing on the page: $0.0065 a minute for speech to text and $4 and $16 per million input and output tokens for generation and coding.
- Hosting is under the customer's control, with EU or US instances and no cross border transfer, regional subprocessor lists, per customer encryption keys, and a sovereign cloud that runs on any cloud or on premise.
- Certifications are named and dated, including ISO/IEC 27001 renewed in June 2026 with 27017 and 27018 added, ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management, SOC 2 Type II and BSI C5 Type II.

Questions buyers ask
How do Augnito and Corti handle patient data?
For Augnito, the parent company has supplied clinical transcription to the health service and private providers since 2001, with delivery teams in England and India.

Which settings and specialties do Augnito and Corti cover?
In Augnito's case, the community nursing use case, where the clinician is rarely near a desktop, is addressed explicitly.
Corti started in emergency call triage and now documents primary care, telehealth and hospital ward care, with NHS Grampian using it on a ward at Inverurie Hospital and other NHS trusts working with it elsewhere in the UK. Language coverage is built model by model, with clinical speech models for Danish and French among them, rather than claimed across a long list. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified August 4, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How much do Augnito and Corti leave to the clinician?
With Augnito, the product does not stop at a note. It generates and sends clinical letters, captures clinical coding, and performs live translation during the consultation.
In Corti's case, the terms make the human step explicit. Corti's master terms say output is probabilistic and may be inaccurate, that human validation is required, and that the customer must evaluate all output before relying on it.
