Frequently asked questions
How are the facts on this page kept current?
Every fact comes from the vendor's own public pages. We re-check pricing, compliance and integration details monthly, and each tool page shows when it was last updated.
Is this site independent?
Yes. Rankings and comparisons are editorial. No vendor can pay for placement, a higher position or a better verdict, and affiliate links never affect what we recommend.
Where do my notes live if I use Mentalyc?
Your notes stay in your Mentalyc account, where you can search and reuse them like a lightweight EHR. You can also export, download or copy any note into another system whenever you want. Nothing is locked in. Magic Edit adjusts a note's content from a prompt.
Do these tools write back into my EHR?
Most therapy-first scribes export rather than write back directly. Mentalyc notes reach your EHR three ways: Chrome extension, download, or copy-paste.
How do you decide which tools to cover?
We cover the scribes therapists actually use, from therapy-only tools to general medical scribes that support therapy workflows. If a tool is missing, tell us and we will look at it.
Something looks wrong. Can I report it?
Yes. Corrections are checked against the vendor's own pages, and the page is updated when a fix is confirmed.
