Basis AI Scribe vs Transcribe Health

Basis AI Scribe captures patient encounters and drafts clinical notes for clinician review and approval. Before a visit, it brings the visit reason, relevant chart context, and recent history into one view. Clinicians can compare a draft with its source transcript, edit it, and approve the note before it moves to the chart. Basis processes audio, transcripts, and drafts on hardware controlled by the practice; local capture and drafting can continue when the internet connection is interrupted. Basis Desktop runs on supported Mac or Windows computers and uses the computer microphone. Basis Mobile captures visits on supported phones, tablets, or watches, independently or with Audio Beacons. Listed integrations include Epic, athenahealth, Oracle Health, Canvas Medical, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, and Tebra. Basis says the clinical app has no account, login, analytics, or advertising code, and that it does not send visit audio or draft notes to a vendor. Its plan is listed as a free download, while pricing is on request.

Transcribe Health is an ambient AI medical scribe that drafts visit notes for care-team review and clinician signature, for in-person and telehealth visits. It produces structured SOAP drafts and provides SOAP and free-text templates. Its evidence assistant answers clinical questions using published guidelines, links cited sources, and scores source reliability. Notes can pass through drafting, refinement, and clinician sign-off, with edits logged and comments and @mentions available in notes. Listed EHR integrations include Epic, OSCAR, and Cerner, alongside an API and webhooks. Telehealth capture is listed for Zoom, Teams, and Meet via screen share. The maker says data is encrypted at rest and in transit with AES-256 and stored on Canadian infrastructure. Free includes 30 encounters per month, up to 90 transcription minutes, 1 GB storage, and up to three team members. Paid plans start at $56/mo billed annually, and a 14-day trial is offered. It is a documentation assistant, not an EMR, EHR, or system of record; providers must transfer finalized outputs into their certified EMR.
