A More Refined, Higher Quality Alternative to Kiroku
Kiroku offers structured templates, but it was built for dentists generally — not UK dental workflows specifically. Dentascribe is purpose-built for UK dental practice — with a free plan, AI that learns your style, and paid features at a fraction of the cost.

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!

Easiest dental notes software to use. Dentascribe has been super useful in helping me streamline my note taking efficiency and ensuring you don't miss out any of the important medical-legal bits. You can also customise your templates to make it truly personalised. Recommended especially for dentists who still copy and paste templates :)

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!

Dentascribe is the best digital note taking tool out there. It is swift to use, easy to modify to your needs and allows you to spend more time focusing and having those important conversations with your patients. The developer is continuously improving the software.

Professional features at fraction of the cost
Kiroku was an early mover in clinical note software, but it was designed for dentists generally — not around UK primary care dentistry, Palmer notation, NHS record structure, and GDC expectations. Dentascribe was built for that from day one, with a generous free plan because essential tools should not be a luxury subscription.
| Feature | Dentascribe | Kiroku |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | UK dentists | Dentists (general) |
| Unlimited notes | Free | £36/month |
| Clickable notes | Free | £36/month |
| Transcription & Audio notes | £29/month | £36/month |
| Learns from you as you write | £29/month | Not available |
| Predictive AI | Free | Not available |
| Smart dictation | £29/month | Not available |
| Patient letters | £39/month | £120/month |
| Practice-managed template sharing | £39/month | £29/month - Limited functionality |
* All prices include VAT
"Forget Kiroku, try this. Have been using this since undergrad and continue to do so currently as a foundation dentist - the ease of use along with the customisability is unmatched. Regularly updated and feedback is responded to quickly."

AI that adapts to your clinical style
Kiroku was built for dentists generally — it uses a fixed, generic approach not tailored to UK workflows. Dentascribe learns from every edit you make, picking up your preferred phrasing, Palmer/FDI notation, and clinical style over time. Each note needs fewer corrections the more you use it — no more fighting output that was never designed for UK practice.
Higher quality audio AI
Dentascribe's audio notes are exceptionally accurate, highly structured, and perfectly concise. We've rigorously refined our AI to give you the most reliable transcription available.
Covers all aspects of admin
Beyond just audio notes and letters, Dentascribe offers practice-managed template sharing, templates to streamline your entire workflow.
Which one is right for you?
Stick with Kiroku if...
You prefer a general-purpose dental notes tool and Kiroku's DCB0129 compliance matters more to you than UK-specific primary care dental workflows.
Switch to Dentascribe if...
You are a UK dentist who wants notes structured for UK practice — Palmer notation, dental examination format, and GDC-ready records — with a free plan and AI that learns your style.
The best way to decide is to try them both — they both offer free trials. The information above is for guidance only.
