We hands-on test note quality and source every compliance, pricing and integration claim. Built for mental-health and therapy clinicians — not general medical scribes retrofitted to therapy.
Therapy-focused AI scribe with HIPAA-first capture and BIRP / DAP / SOAP out of the box
Therapy-first AI scribe with progress-note and treatment-plan templates
Mature therapy-note generator with the broadest modality template library
Ranked by our six-dimension editorial rubric. See the methodology for weights and verification.
Every tool here follows the same loop. The differences are in accuracy, template depth, compliance and price — which is what we score.
During the session — in person or over telehealth — the scribe captures the conversation so the clinician can stay present with the client.
Within seconds it produces a structured note in your format — SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP or a custom therapy template — plus a treatment-plan update where supported.
The clinician edits the draft and pushes it to the EHR. The human stays accountable for the final record — the AI just removes the typing.
Vendor and early-study time-savings figures vary widely by modality, caseload and EHR. Treat them as directional, not guaranteed. The clinician remains accountable for the record — AI removes typing, not judgment.
