Verdict
One of the longest-running therapy-specific scribes. Template library is the broadest we tested — couples, family, group, EMDR, CBT, DBT and standard SOAP/DAP/BIRP variants are all available without manual prompting. Note quality on talk-therapy sessions is consistent. HIPAA-aligned with BAA; audio handling and retention are documented. Telehealth capture works via browser extension and dictation. Pricing is published and there is a free trial; the lowest tier is more expensive than the Upheal entry point. EHR integration is still mostly export-based.[1]
