The shortlist
AI tools we'd put in our own practice.
Three tools, three jobs: dictate the note, run the front desk, track the protocol. Here's what each does, who it fits, and the honest caveats. Two we build; we mark those plainly.
Voti
voti.ai · iOSBest for · solo & small-practice documentation
Voti is an AI medical scribe for iPhone. It listens to the visit, transcribes on-device, and drafts a structured clinical note in seconds — so the audio of your encounter never leaves the phone. For clinicians who want ambient documentation without shipping patient conversations to someone else's cloud, the privacy model is the whole point.

It ships with a signed BAA — the business associate agreement that makes a vendor legally accountable for the patient data it touches.

Disclosure: Voti, Phiclaw and Ratatui are built by the team behind this publication. We list them because we'd use them — not because they paid for placement.
How we pick. A tool earns a place on this list if it does one job exceptionally, respects patient privacy by design, and is something we'd actually run in a clinic. We update the shortlist as the category moves.
