Clinical

AI Scribe

Dictation and full-session recording that generates structured notes automatically.

Updated May 7, 2026

AI Scribe records audio (a quick post-session dictation, or the full session itself) and turns it into a structured clinical note in your chosen template.

AI Scribe is a per-practitioner Stripe add-on. The owner buys seats and assigns specific practitioners to use them, in Settings → Add-ons. It's not bundled in any base plan.


Two recording modes

Dictation

You record yourself summarizing the session afterward. Best for fast post-session notes when you don't need a full transcript.

  • Maximum length: 10 minutes.
  • No client consent prompt; you're recording only yourself.

Session

The full session is recorded so the AI has the actual conversation to work from. Best for richer, more detailed notes.

  • Maximum length: 90 minutes.
  • Requires client consent before recording can start.

How to use it

  1. Open a client's profile and go to the Notes tab.
  2. Click New Note and pick a template (SOAP, DAP, or progress).
  3. Click AI Scribe to open the recorder.
  4. Choose Dictation or Session.
  5. For session mode, confirm consent has been obtained. Optionally add a quick instruction (e.g., "Focus on anxiety symptoms").
  6. Click Start Recording. A timer and audio level indicator show it's active.
  7. Click Stop when finished.
  8. The recording uploads, transcribes, and generates a structured note.
  9. Review the generated fields, edit anywhere it needs adjustment, and Save.

Per-template prompts

Each note template can carry its own AI Scribe prompt that shapes the output for that template type. Configure prompts from the Note Templates editor.


Practice-wide prompt

The owner can set a global instruction that gets appended to every Scribe generation across the practice (your house style, terminology you prefer, etc.). Configure it in Settings → Add-ons → AI Scribe.


Privacy

  • Audio is stored securely and only accessible to authorized practitioners in your practice.
  • When HIPAA mode is on, every Scribe action is logged in the audit trail.
  • Recordings are retained according to your data retention policy. See HIPAA Compliance.

Tips

  • Speak clearly and at a natural pace; transcription quality depends on it.
  • For dictation, walking yourself through the SOAP sections out loud produces better-organized output.
  • Always review the generated note before saving. AI is a draft, not the final word.
  • Get explicit verbal consent before session recording, even when state law doesn't strictly require it.
