# Best AI medical scribes for Croatian in 2026: a comparison > Which AI medical scribes understand Croatian speech and write the clinical note in Croatian? MedGlas, Heidi Health, Tandem Health, Nabla, Microsoft Dragon Copilot and others compared, with sources. URL: https://medglas.net/blog/best-ai-medical-scribe-croatian/ Published: 2026-10-17 Author: Josip Vrdoljak, MD, PhD For an AI medical scribe in Croatian there are two separate questions: **does it understand Croatian speech**, and **does it write the note in Croatian**. Many international scribes accept Croatian speech but produce the note in English, which leaves the doctor translating and rewriting before anything goes into the record. **Disclosure:** MedGlas is our product. For every other tool we link the vendor's own page, and we checked them on 17 October 2026. If something has changed, tell us and we will correct this post. ## At a glance | Tool | Croatian speech | Note in Croatian | Data (per vendor) | Public pricing | |---|---|---|---|---| | **MedGlas** | Yes | Yes | App and database in AWS Frankfurt (EU); audio not kept after transcription; transcripts and notes deleted automatically after 24 hours | 3 free recordings; €19/month for individuals; institutions by agreement | | **Heidi Health** | Not listed explicitly ("110+ languages") | Not confirmed | EU/EEA per its GDPR page | Free plan; paid from €50/month billed annually | | **Tandem Health** | Yes | Not confirmed; help docs describe an English note | Europe (Microsoft Azure) | Free plan; Pro €125 per user/month billed yearly | | **Nabla** | Yes | No (English or French) | Google Cloud, region of your choice | 30-day trial, then $119/month | | **Microsoft Dragon Copilot** | Yes (recording language) | Not confirmed | EU customers: France or Germany | Not public | | **AI4Docs** | Yes (auto-detect) | Yes ("Other language" setting) | Google Cloud, region not stated | From $19/month | | **NEWTON Dictate** | Yes (dictation) | Dictates text, does not draft notes | Not stated | Not public; trial licence | ## MedGlas [MedGlas](https://medglas.net/en/) is an AI medical scribe built for Croatian. You record a dictation or a consultation in the browser on your phone or computer and get a transcript and a draft clinical note in Croatian, in the structure set by your template. It is built by CliniAtlas, a spin-off of the University of Split School of Medicine. - **Strengths:** Croatian is the primary language, not an add-on, and it also works in nine other European languages; the note is written directly in Croatian; app and database in the EU; free trial with no card. - **Limitations:** no direct integration with hospital or practice record systems (you copy or export the text); team and institutional pricing is by agreement; only the individual plan (€19/month) is published. ## Heidi Health [Heidi](https://www.heidihealth.com/en-ie/product/transcribe) is one of the best-known international scribes. It says it can transcribe "110+ languages", but we found no public list that names Croatian. Its [feature dictionary](https://support.heidihealth.com/en/articles/8840280-heidi-s-feature-dictionary) mentions a wide selection of input and output languages without a list. - **Strengths:** a [free plan](https://www.heidihealth.com/pricing), many [integrations](https://www.heidihealth.com/en-ie/integrations) (Epic, Oracle Cerner, EMIS and others), and a [GDPR page](https://www.heidihealth.com/compliance/gdpr) stating data stays in the EU/EEA. - **For Croatian:** test it on a real Croatian dictation with doses and drug names before deciding. ## Tandem Health [Tandem](https://tandemhealth.ai/product/ai-scribe) is a Swedish scribe. Its [language detection guide](https://intercom-help.eu/tandem-eu/en/articles/423522-detect-language) explicitly lists Croatian, along with Serbian, Bosnian and Slovenian; in that mode, the same guide says, speech is translated into English for the note. The product page says notes are generated in the language you choose, without a list. - **Strengths:** [data processed in Europe](https://tandemhealth.ai/product/data-security), ISO 27001 and 13485 and CE class IIa per the vendor, a free plan, and integrations with more than 100 systems. - **For Croatian:** Croatia is not among the countries where Tandem says it is active, and Croatian note output is not confirmed. ## Nabla [Nabla](https://help.nabla.com/en/articles/4903042) explicitly lists Croatian among more than 35 speech languages. Notes, per [its settings guide](https://help.nabla.com/en/articles/4856642), are generated only in English or French. - **Strengths:** a [30-day free trial](https://help.nabla.com/en/articles/10692354), a data storage region of your choice, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 per its [security page](https://www.nabla.com/security). - **For Croatian:** a fit if an English note works for you. ## Microsoft Dragon Copilot [Dragon Copilot](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/dragon-copilot/physicians/current/record-multilingual-conversations) (formerly DAX Copilot) lists Croatian as a recording language. The note language is set by an administrator, and Croatian as a note language is not confirmed. - **Strengths:** deep Epic integration; EU customer data stays in France or Germany per [Microsoft's privacy white paper](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/industry/healthcare/dragon-copilot/whitepapers/privacy). - **For Croatian:** Croatia is not among the countries in [Microsoft's FAQ](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/health-solutions/clinical-workflow/dragon-copilot), and pricing is not public. ## Other tools - **[AI4Docs](https://ai4docs.ai/ai-medical-scribe-any-language)** (UK) lists Croatian among auto-detected languages and supports Croatian notes through its "Other language" setting, with no country restrictions. - **[NEWTON Dictate](https://www.diktiranje.hr/faq/)** (Zagreb) is Windows dictation software for Croatian. It turns dictation into text but does not draft a structured note from a conversation; medical texts need a specialist dictionary. - **Abridge, Freed and Lyrebird Health** write notes in English only; [Abridge](https://support.abridge.com/hc/en-us/articles/30235001206419-Record-an-Encounter-in-Multiple-Languages) and [Lyrebird](https://help.lyrebirdhealth.com/en/articles/10172858-language-settings) do not list Croatian as a speech language either. ## How to choose 1. **Test with a real example** from your specialty, with doses, numbers and drug names. 2. **Check the note language.** If the tool writes in English, budget time for translating and checking. 3. **Ask where data is processed**, especially speech recognition and the language model. 4. **Check how text gets into your record system**: integration or copy and paste.
