21,782 children in Ireland are overdue an assessment of need. Why we built Seneca

Give your patient your full attention

Seneca Transcribe gives you a full transcript and summary of your interviews.

A session in Seneca being transcribed. A live timer shows twelve minutes, and underneath it the transcript of the parent interview fills in a word at a time — the clinician's questions and the parent's answers about her daughter's early development, play, sensory sensitivities and school. The summary Seneca wrote from that transcript sits under its own tab.

Clinician: Tell me about the first time you thought something might be different.

Parent: She was about eighteen months. She stopped answering to her name we would call her from the doorway and she simply would not turn so we had her hearing tested twice, and both times it came back clear.

Clinician: And how was her speech around that time?

Parent: She had a handful of words at two and then they went quiet again for months. It came back on its own, but it came back all at once, in whole sentences off the television rather than words she had built up herself.

Clinician: And how is she with the other children at playgroup?

Parent: She likes being near them, but not with them. She will take the cars off to the side and line them up along the skirting board, and if another child moves one she is inconsolable for the rest of the morning.

Clinician: And does she play at pretending feeding a doll, that sort of thing?

Parent: Not really. She will line things up for an hour and be perfectly content, but she has never fed a teddy or made anybody a cup of tea.

Clinician: You mentioned noise on the phone. Can you tell me more about that?

Parent: She covers her ears in the school hall, every single morning, and in shops. And she eats a very short list of foods four or five things, and nothing new goes near the plate.

Clinician: Has the school said anything about the noise themselves?

Parent: They raised the same thing before Christmas, and her teacher asked me outright whether an assessment was under way. I said I would send you their report, and the speech and language therapist's notes as well.

What it does

Transcribe, step by step

01Easily start recording

Record through your computer, phone, a video call, or upload separately.

02The words arrive while you are talking

Seneca transcribes immediately, so you know without doubt your session is being recorded.

03The audio is immediately deleted

The recording gets converted into text, and instantly deleted. It is not written to our database, not to our file storage, and not to disk. Only the transcription is kept.

04Receive both the transcript and a summary

When the session finishes, Seneca provides the transcript and summary of what was covered, both completely editable.

05Notetaking

There is a tab for notes which you can type during the interview. They are kept for you and are never used to write the report.

06Draft your assessment report

Upon drafting your assessment report, the interview session is used and cited where present.

FAQs

Questions clinicians ask about this

Is the audio used to train a model?

No. The provider is contractually committed not to train on our data and retains nothing from the transcription endpoint.
