Dentascribe has been the most useful dental tool I've tried. It really takes the pressure off writing notes and it's been a part of my every day practice for months. Would really recommend to any dentist - especially if you're struggling to finish off your notes and get home on time. Even my nurses love it and its user friendly interface!

I've been using Dentascribe for a few weeks now having also previously used Kiroku and Heidi. It has been by far the most impressive and intuitive notes software I've found. I like that you can input your own templates, and how easily you switch between clicking quick pre-selected responses and free text entry.

As a busy clinician working at 4 different sites and mum of two, I've tried platforms like Kiroku and DigitalTCO, hoping for that perfect solution to streamline note-taking and allow me to make it home without endless evening spent note writing. Then I found Dentascribe and it's been a game changer.

I have also tried Heidi and Kiroku Scribes before I made up my mind with Dentascribe. Those two were ok, but could not pick up my accent and missed a lot of conversations, Particularly I liked the way Dentascribe Formats and analyses and gives a final copy, then I quickly skim it and add/remove and finalise it.

Completely seamless software which makes my day to day as a dentist so much easier. The built in AI is something that is so useful and has altered my practice for the better. I don't know where I would be without it!

Amazing dental note-taking software! Has made dental note taking easy while still tailored to the patient as the template changes based on clinical findings. My nurse prefers it to conventional templates and finds it very easy to use. You're able to edit the templates as you like as well, could not recommend this website enough!
