AI medical scribe

The ambient AI medical scribe for any EHR

VoiceboxMD listens to the visit and drafts the note in your format. From the desktop app it goes straight into the EHR field you are in, whole or one section at a time. On every plan, from $49 a month.

How the Ambient AI Scribe Works

Three steps from the exam room to a note in the chart. You stay in control of what gets signed.

  1. Record the visitPress record in the Windows or Mac app, the web app, or on your iPhone or Android phone, and talk with your patient as you normally would. Pick the patient first if you want last visit’s plan and medications on screen.
  2. Get a draft in your formatWhen you stop, the scribe drafts a structured note from the conversation: SOAP, H&P, or a template you wrote yourself, with your own instructions for how it should read.
  3. Review it and put it in the chartRead and edit the draft. On the desktop app, click into your EHR and press one shortcut to place the whole note, or one section at a time. On the web and phone, copy it or share it.

From Conversation to Structured Note

Illustrative example. We wrote this short visit for this page. It is not a real patient or a real recording. It shows the kind of SOAP note the scribe drafts from a conversation like this one. The speaker labels are ours, to make the excerpt easy to read.

What was said (excerpt)

Clinician: What brings you in today?

Patient: My right knee has been aching after my runs. Maybe three weeks now. I run about fifteen miles a week.

Clinician: Any swelling, locking, or the knee giving way?

Patient: No, none of that. It settles down if I take a couple of days off.

Clinician: There is some tenderness around the kneecap, but the ligaments feel stable and you have full range of motion. This looks like irritation behind the kneecap from the extra mileage. Let’s cut your weekly distance by about a third for two weeks, start quad strengthening, and ice after runs. If it isn’t better in four weeks, come back and we will take another look.

The draft note (SOAP)

Subjective. Right knee pain after running for 3 weeks. Runs about 15 miles per week. Denies swelling, locking or instability. Improves with rest.

Objective. Right knee: peripatellar tenderness. Ligaments stable. Full range of motion.

Assessment. Likely patellofemoral pain related to increased training volume.

Plan. Reduce weekly mileage by one third for 2 weeks. Begin quadriceps strengthening. Ice after runs. Return if symptoms persist beyond 4 weeks.

Prefer H&P or your own layout? Build a template with your sections and instructions, and every draft follows it.

What Studies of Ambient AI Scribes Have Measured

Health systems have now published results from ambient scribes in daily use. These studies evaluated other companies’ products, not VoiceboxMD. They show what the category has done in practice, including where results were mixed.

  • Burnout: 51.9% to 38.8% in 30 days

    Across 263 ambulatory clinicians in 6 health systems, the share reporting burnout fell from 51.9% before to 38.8% after 30 days with an ambient AI scribe. Time spent documenting after hours also fell. This was a before-and-after survey without a control group.

  • 9.5% less time per note in a randomized trial

    UCLA Health randomized 238 outpatient physicians in 14 specialties to one of two ambient scribes or usual documentation for two months. One scribe cut time per note by 9.5% against the control group; the other’s change was not statistically significant. One mild safety event was reported: the counseling given was left out of the plan and the patient instructions.

  • 2.5 million visits in 15 months

    At The Permanente Medical Group, 7,260 physicians used ambient AI scribes for 2,576,627 patient encounters between October 16, 2023 and December 28, 2024. Users spent an estimated 15,791 fewer hours in notes than nonusers over that period.

Works With the EHR You Already Use

There is no EHR integration to request. The desktop app pastes the note into whatever field your cursor is in, the same way you would paste text yourself. If you can click into a text box in your EHR, the note can go there. Guides for common systems:

Security and Privacy

  • BAA on every plan

    A Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan, at no extra cost, including the trial.

  • Audio kept for 7 days

    Visit audio is deleted automatically 7 days after it is recorded. A sweep runs every 15 minutes and logs each deletion.

  • No patient data in analytics

    App analytics accept only an allowlist of event fields, so patient information is never sent to them.

AI Medical Scribe, Frequently Asked Questions

Can’t find your answer? Contact us.

What does an ambient AI scribe do?

It listens to the conversation between you and your patient and drafts the clinical note from it, so you do not have to dictate or type the note during or after the visit. With VoiceboxMD you press record, talk with the patient, and stop. The draft arrives in SOAP, H&P or your own template. You review it, edit it and put it in the chart.

What is the difference between the ambient scribe and dictation?

With the ambient scribe you talk with the patient and the AI writes the note from the conversation. With dictation you speak the note yourself and the words appear at your cursor as you talk. Ambient suits long conversational visits. Dictation is often faster for a short follow-up or a procedure note. Both are included on every VoiceboxMD plan.

Does it work with my EHR?

Yes, if your EHR has a text field you can click into. The VoiceboxMD desktop app for Windows and Mac pastes into whichever field has your cursor, so there is no integration to set up and nothing for IT to install in the EHR. Press Ctrl+Alt+0 (Cmd+Option+0 on a Mac) to place the whole note, or Ctrl+Alt+1 to 9 to place one section. On a Mac, allow VoiceboxMD in Accessibility settings first. On the web app and phone you copy or share the note instead.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. The VoiceboxMD app for iPhone and Android records ambient visits and shows the finished note, which you can copy or share. A note recorded on your phone also appears in the desktop app, where you can place it in your EHR. Your phone can also act as the microphone for dictation on your computer.

How accurate is it, and do I need to review the note?

Always review the note before you sign it. Like every AI scribe, it can leave things out or get a detail wrong, and you remain responsible for what goes in the chart. You can add your own medical terms and drug names to improve recognition. The ambient scribe works in English.

What does it cost, and how does the trial work?

Essential is $49 per provider per month and includes the ambient scribe. Power is $79 and Premium is $99. The free trial is 7 days on monthly billing and 14 days on yearly billing, on the plan you choose. A card is collected at checkout and is not charged during the trial.

How is patient data handled?

A Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan. Visit audio is deleted automatically 7 days after recording. Notes stay in your account. Patient information is never sent to analytics. Tell your patients when you are recording, and follow your state’s and your organization’s consent rules.

Can I cancel at any time?

Yes. There is no long-term contract. You can cancel from the billing page of your account at account.voiceboxmd.com, and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
