AI Scribe for NextGen
The ways to get an AI-written visit note into NextGen Enterprise or NextGen Office, with sources. NextGen has its own Ambient Assist, so that comes first. VoiceboxMD is the $49 option that works at your cursor.
The Short Answer
NextGen has its own scribe, called Ambient Assist. NextGen's website says it "is built into the NextGen Mobile platform and writes directly to the NextGen Enterprise EHR", with the note placed in the chart "pending provider review". If your practice is on NextGen Enterprise and has it, try it first.
That page describes Ambient Assist for NextGen Enterprise. We did not find NextGen Office in its description, so if you are on NextGen Office, ask NextGen before you assume it applies.
VoiceboxMD does not connect to NextGen. It records the visit and drafts the note, and the desktop app places it in the NextGen field your cursor is in. It costs $49 per provider per month with no note cap.

How VoiceboxMD Works With NextGen
Record the visit
Start the scribe on your phone, in the web app, or in the Mac or Windows app, and talk with your patient as usual. It listens through the microphone of the device you started it on.
Read the draft
A structured note is drafted in SOAP, H&P or your own template. On our service, half of the notes were ready within 29 seconds of the recording finishing its upload (September 6 to November 5, 2026). Read it and change anything you want.
Place it in NextGen
Open the finished note in the Windows or Mac app and click into the note field in NextGen: a SOAP note, encounter documentation or a telephone note. Press Ctrl+Alt+0 (Cmd+Option+0 on a Mac) to place the whole note, or Ctrl+Alt+1 to 9 (Cmd+Option+1 to 9 on a Mac) to place one section at a time. Then review and sign it in NextGen.
Which NextGen Setup Do You Have?
NextGen Office in a browser
Install the desktop app on your Mac or Windows computer. It works at the cursor and not inside the browser, so there is no extension to install. On a Mac, allow VoiceboxMD in Accessibility settings first.
NextGen Enterprise installed on Windows
The same shortcut works. In template-driven screens, the note goes into the free-text box your cursor is in. VoiceboxMD does not tick checkboxes or choose from pick lists.
NextGen Enterprise through a remote desktop
With Citrix Workspace on Windows, the app types the note into the window instead of pasting it. Citrix in a browser tab, VMware Horizon and Remote Desktop are not supported yet. If that is how you reach NextGen, record on your phone and copy the note from the web app.
Phone in the exam room, computer at your desk
Record the visit on your iPhone or Android phone. The finished note shows up in the desktop app, ready to place in the encounter you have open.
What VoiceboxMD Does Not Do in NextGen
No NextGen integration
VoiceboxMD does not connect to NextGen through an API or a browser extension. It does not pull your schedule, patient details or earlier notes, and it never signs or files a note. You place the text and you sign it.
Placing the note needs the desktop app
The Mac or Windows app puts the note at your cursor. The web app and the phone apps let you copy or share the note instead.
English visits, one microphone
The ambient scribe works in English only. It records your microphone, so it does not capture telehealth call audio, and it does not label who is speaking.
No E/M level
Power and Premium suggest ICD-10 and CPT codes with the supporting text. VoiceboxMD does not suggest an E/M level.
What It Costs
Essential, $49 a month
The ambient scribe and live dictation, with no monthly note cap. SOAP, H&P and your own templates.
Power, $79 a month
Adds ICD-10 and CPT code suggestions, letters and after-visit summaries, and upload of a recording you already have (in the web app).
Premium, $99 a month
Adds a writing style learned from your own edits, applied to new notes.
Prices are per provider. The free trial is 7 days on monthly billing and 14 days on annual billing. A card is collected at checkout and is not charged during the trial. A Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan, including the trial. See full pricing.
Try it on one real visit. Record it, read the draft, and place it in NextGen. No sales call.
