Alma Information Systems

What Alma Information Systems does

Alma Information Systems (AIS) is a privately held Houston-based healthcare IT company that has operated since 2001, serving small and mid-sized US medical practices with its flagship TexTALK MD platform. The platform is a multimodal EHR, scheduling, billing, electronic claims processing, and document management system built on a SQL database engine, differentiated primarily by speech recognition technology with customized medical language models and intuitive voice commands for clinical documentation. TexTALK MD Version 12 received ONC-ACB 2014 Edition Complete EHR Ambulatory certification in May 2014 (Certificate No. 05162014-3071-1), and the company has not publicly disclosed subsequent certification milestones or major product updates.

The company monetizes through a per-provider monthly subscription model for both TexTALK MD EHR and TexTALK MD PM (Practice Management), available as on-premise local server or cloud-hosted deployments, with bundled implementation services and on-site or online training. AIS also generates revenue from professional services (needs analysis, system design, installation, training, ongoing support) and from OEM services that license turn-key speech recognition and dictation components to other healthcare information systems vendors. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: customers request demos or telephone contact via the company's speech-pro.com website, with no apparent channel partners, no institutional investors, and no disclosed management team beyond a single general contact ([email protected]).

The operating footprint is nationwide in the United States, with no international presence disclosed. The company has no public social media presence, no app store listings, no disclosed integrations or API, and no documented funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes in the available data. Public visibility into the business is limited: revenue, headcount, installed base size, and customer composition are all undisclosed, and the website footer dated "AIS 2014" suggests limited recent investment in digital presence or public-facing product evolution.
