The best AI medical scribes compared: What sets Tebra’s AI-generated notes apart?
Find out how Tebra’s AI Note Assist can cut documentation time by 30–50% and reduce provider burnout while keeping costs low.
At a Glance
- AI medical scribes cut documentation significantly, reducing provider burnout and improving patient care.
- Tebra’s AI Note Assist is fully integrated and offers competitive pricing.
- Tebra’s tool integrates seamlessly with EHRs and maintains HIPAA compliance for security.
According to Tebra research, providers spend about 30 minutes on EHR documentation for every hour they spend with patients. This often bleeds into after-hours; TrendBurden found that 83% of physicians regularly work late or bring documentation home.
To alleviate this administrative burden and give providers more time with patients, many practices are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) medical scribes, like Tebra's AI Note Assist.
AI scribe tools have evolved over time, transforming from basic transcription tools to systems powered by natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning that help streamline patient documentation.
As AI scribes become more embedded in everyday practice, it’s important to understand what to expect from these tools, what differentiates them, and how they can reduce burnout. Discover why providers are increasingly choosing AI Note Assist for fast, secure, and affordable documentation.

What to expect from AI clinical documentation tools
Most modern AI medical scribes typically offer the following core functions:
- Ambient listening: Voice recognition technology automatically captures and transcribes conversations during patient visits, generating real-time clinical notes.
- AI-generated doctors' notes: Organizes medical information into structured clinical notes tailored to a practice’s EHR requirements.
- Pre-built templates: Automatically generates patient data into common note types.
- AI medical transcription: Converts conversations between patients and providers into accurate, real-time clinical text.
Evaluating AI scribes: Key factors to consider
As you look into different medical AI scribes on the market, here are some key questions to keep in mind to narrow down your search:
- Integration: Will the tool live inside your EHR, or does it require toggling between systems?
- Speed: How quickly can notes be generated and finalized?
- Accuracy: Can it capture pertinent clinical notes without missing important context?
- Usability: Is the interface intuitive and easy to use?
- Affordability: Are there flexible and scalable pricing models to fit your practice’s needs?
- Security: Does it meet HIPAA and other patient privacy standards?
How Tebra compares to other leading AI scribes
Several AI medical scribe tools have emerged in recent years — each with unique features, pricing models, and workflows. Here's how Tebra’s AI Note Assist stacks up against a few of the best-known options.
| Type | How it works | Typical cost | Why Tebra is better |
| External AI scribe tools (e.g., Freed, Suki AI, iScribe Health, and Sunoh.aI) | Separate app that transcribes and structures SOAP notes. Often requires copying into the EHR. | $99–$700 per provider per month. | Tebra's AI Note Assist is built into the EHR — no switching apps or manual pasting. |
| EHR add-on scribes (e.g., Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, AdvancedMD, and DrChrono) | AI listens to visits, turns speech into structured notes, then lets users push sections to the EHR. | $1.25–$5 per note or up to $500 per month per provider. | Tebra offers predictable pricing: $0.99 per note or $99 per month, plus simple setup and customization options. |
