We're building Amharic clinical speech and note-generation models from the ground up. As we validate and publish, the work will live here — methods, accuracy, and privacy, in the open.
The research program behind Bekur's scribe — published as it's validated. Each paper documents the methods, datasets, and results so the work can be read, checked, and built on.
01
SPEECH RECOGNITION2026 · Forthcoming
Amharic-English code-switched speech recognition for clinical settings
Forthcoming
How we recognize the mixed Amharic and English used in real Ethiopian consultations, including medical terminology, accents, and noisy clinic environments.

02
NOTE GENERATION2026 · Forthcoming
Generating structured SOAP notes from Amharic clinical dialogue
Forthcoming
Turning a free-flowing consultation into an accurate, structured clinical note — the model design, prompts, and the guardrails that keep it faithful to what was actually said.
Bekur Research
03
ACCURACY & SAFETY2027 · Forthcoming
Measuring clinical note accuracy: a validation framework
Forthcoming
How we evaluate fidelity, completeness, and hallucination rates against clinician-written notes, and the human-in-the-loop review that keeps the scribe safe to use.

04
PRIVACY2027 · Forthcoming
Privacy-preserving documentation for low-resource healthcare
Forthcoming
Our approach to protecting patient data — consent, de-identification, data residency, and the design choices that keep sensitive clinical conversations private.

ትኩረት
What we research and why it matters.
Off-the-shelf models weren't built for Amharic or for Ethiopian clinical reality. So we build — and study — our own. Four questions drive the work.
01
Amharic clinical NLP
Speech and language models that understand Amharic, English, and the code-switching real consultations are full of — including medical terminology and local clinical context.
02
Note accuracy
Rigorous evaluation against clinician-written notes, so the structured note the scribe produces is faithful, complete, and safe to rely on.
03
Privacy & data
Consent, de-identification, and data-residency methods that protect sensitive patient conversations in low-resource healthcare settings.
04
Clinical workflow
How an AI scribe fits the day of an Ethiopian clinician — what to surface, when to defer to a human, and how to give time back to patient care.
