AI scribes that capture telehealth sessions
Telehealth-first clinicians need a scribe that captures both sides of the call without breaking their existing video setup.
Key takeaways
- Browser extensions are the most reliable capture path across telehealth platforms.
- Virtual audio devices (BlackHole, Loopback) are a workable fallback but add setup friction.
- Confirm dual-channel capture — some scribes only record the microphone, missing the client's audio.
