Built for the Way Physicians Actually Document
Clinical notepad that understands note structure
The notepad recognises clinical note architecture: HPI, ROS, physical exam, assessment and plan, SOAP, and MSE for mental health. You dictate naturally and the AI handles punctuation, capitalisation and section placement.
Dictation directly into the chart
Place your cursor anywhere text can be typed and speak. VoiceboxMD injects text at the cursor, which is why it works with every EHR rather than a certified list of three. No integration project, no vendor sign-off.
Mobile capture that syncs to the desktop
Record a 30-second voice memo on your phone between exam rooms. By the time you finish charting the previous patient, the note is transcribed, formatted and waiting on your workstation. You review, edit if needed, and sign into the EHR.

What Physicians Say
"VoiceboxMD has been a fantastic tool to improve my workflow. I'm seeing more patients than before, my charts are always completed by the end of clinic, and I get to spend time with my family in the evenings instead of typing notes. Support is amazing!"
Dr. Travis Brown, Practice Fusion
"VoiceboxMD has become an essential tool for my practice, helping us work smarter not just harder. It has given us a way to be more productive with athenahealth, saving plentiful time. My whole office loves it."
Dr. Rafath Humera, athenahealth
"I've enjoyed using VoiceboxMD to chart my office visits. What I find most impressive is the recognition and proper spelling of medical terms and medications. I recommend it highly for any doctor to give it a free trial."
Dr. Peter Navolnic, Practice Fusion
"VoiceboxMD has improved my workflow tremendously. Unlike templated notes now common with e-charts, VoiceboxMD allows customization of each note with minimal extra time, which is a boost for billing and also guards against 'cookie cutter' notes that payors may flag."
Dr. David Bandola, eClinicalWorks
The Documentation Cost
Physicians spend a substantial share of the working day on documentation rather than patient care, and much of it lands after hours. At 20 patients a day and 250 clinical days a year, saving 15 minutes per visit returns roughly 1,250 hours annually. At a loaded physician cost of $150 to $200 per hour, that is recovered capacity worth well into six figures.
The reason this is now possible on a $49 plan rather than an enterprise contract is that medical speech recognition changed. Cloud infrastructure meets HIPAA requirements, and large language models understand clinical context better than the specialised proprietary engines that once justified five-figure deployments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is VoiceboxMD and who is it for?
VoiceboxMD is cloud-based medical dictation software for physicians, nurse practitioners and other clinicians who document in an EHR. It uses active text injection, so you speak and the words appear wherever your cursor is. It runs on Windows and Mac and works with any EHR that accepts typed input. See the EHR compatibility list to confirm your system.
How accurate is it, and does it need voice training?
99% on clinical dictation, with no per-user training required. The medical vocabulary of 100,000+ terms is built in, so drug names, anatomy and procedure terms are recognised on first use rather than after a training period.
Which EHRs does it work with?
Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, Kareo, NextGen and Allscripts, among others. Because text is injected at the cursor rather than through an integration, VoiceboxMD works in any application with an editable text field, including EHRs not on this list.
Is VoiceboxMD HIPAA compliant?
Yes. A signed Business Associate Agreement is included with every plan at no extra cost. PHI is encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-256, access is controlled per provider, and audio and transcripts are handled under HIPAA requirements.
What is included in the 7-day free trial?
Full access to the product, not a reduced version:
- Unlimited dictation on desktop, Mac and Windows, using the same speech engine as paid accounts.
- The clinical notepad, including structured SOAP and H&P notes, auto-formatting and copy-to-EHR.
- Mobile app access for recording on the go and syncing transcripts to the desktop.
- All security and HIPAA protections, plus support during the trial.
Is there a learning curve?
Most clinicians are productive the same day. The workflow is place the cursor, dictate, review, sign. A short orientation to voice commands helps, and accuracy of your own dictation improves as you settle into speaking notes rather than typing them. Book a walkthrough if you would like a member of the team to run through it with you.
Why is a credit card required for the free trial?
A valid payment method reduces spam and scripted abuse, which lets us provision the full production environment for every trial: HIPAA-grade infrastructure, real-time speech engines and AI scribe capacity, rather than putting trials on a limited tier. You are only charged if you continue after the 7 days.
