This would seem to be an advantage of the voice input API in Android. Something the iPad lacks.

Android certainly has an advantage here, but a smattering of iOS apps, including the EHR in question, seem to licence speech-to-text and integrate it fairly seamlessly. Siri (before Apple acquired them) and Orchestra (a new to-do app) are good examples.

It's also worth mentioning that screenshots of internal builds of iOS 5 have a microphone on the keyboard, seeming to imply speech-to-text could be a surprise feature of iOS 5.
