AI product readBrowser-to-desktop bridge enabling Solventum Fluency Direct speech recognition to interact with web-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems
Allows clinicians using Fluency Direct desktop speech recognition to dictate and insert text into web-based EHR applications (Athena, Meditech, OncoEMR, Intelerad/Clario, SIS) that lack native speech recognition integration
User opens a web-based EHR (e.g., Athena, Meditech) → content-script.js injects fd-web-connector.js → extension connects via WebSocket to localhost Fluency Direct desktop app and optionally via Chrome native messaging to FDWebConnect.exe → user dictates speech → Fluency Direct processes speech using grammars retrieved from the EHR → transcribed text is inserted into the active EHR text field via platform-specific APIs → tab focus changes automatically update which EHR field receives dictation
WebSocket and native messaging bridge to local Fluency Direct desktop app (FDWebConnect.exe)Deep integration (level 3 support) with multiple EHR platforms: Athena (SpeechToText API), Meditech (MSpeechAPI), OncoEMR/SmartReports (Draft.js), Intelerad/Clario (SpeechHandler), SISText insertion, selection, formatting (bold/italic/underline), and undo via platform-specific APIsSpeech grammar retrieval from EHR web applications for improved recognition accuracyActive tab tracking across browser windows to route dictation to the correct EHR fieldAutomatic content script injection on all web pages for universal EHR coverage
- Target users
- Healthcare clinicians and physicians using Solventum Fluency Direct for clinical documentation / Medical transcriptionists working within web-based EHR systems
- Cannot verify whether the Fluency Direct desktop application requires paid license or login (external to extension code)
- The 7116-line fd-web-connector.js contains extensive EHR-specific integration code; only representative sections were read due to size
- The extension description is minimal ('Enables level 3 support for many web applications') requiring source code analysis to understand purpose
MonetizationNo paid features detected
Zero payment-related keywords found in source code: no premium, subscription, upgrade, license, price, purchase, payment, or billing references. The static scan 'pro' keyword matches are all false positives—substrings in Promise, process, property, produce, prototype, etc. The extension is a free connector/bridge between the desktop Fluency Direct application and web EHR systems with no gated features, paywalls, or billing API calls.

- Reason
- The extension itself implements no login UI, authentication flow, or credential handling. The onAuthRequired listener (background.js:341-346) only logs auth events—it does not gate functionality. The userId handling (content-script.js:28, fd-web-connector.js:1473-3988) reads an existing user identity from already-authenticated EHR web pages (e.g., Meditech's #userIdentity DOM element) and passes it to the desktop Fluency Direct app for session correlation. Users must be logged into their EHR systems and have the Fluency Direct desktop app running, but the extension itself requires no account or login.
