Pros & cons
Accurx Scribe
Pros
- NHS-native distribution — Accurx is used by 98% of English GP practices and staff in 70% of NHS Trusts
- One-click save to EMIS and SystmOne for GPs
- DTAC-compliant; meets NHS England's AI-scribe requirements; engine registered with the MHRA as a Class I device
- Transparent per-patient pricing (~£0.65–£1.07 per patient/year; ICB volume discounts)
Watch-outs
- The scribe engine is Tandem Health's — Accurx provides distribution and NHS integration, not a different model
- Tandem's note quality was the weak point in our hands-on testing — Accurx Scribe inherits that question
- Most valuable only if you are already an Accurx customer
Stenoly
Pros
- 53-language consultation support (speech, notes and supporting documents) — broadest in the field
- HIPAA + GDPR + EU MDR Class I; EEA hosting; explicit no-training-on-customer-data position
- Broad cross-specialty template library — clinical notes (SOAP, DAP, ADHD assessment, physiotherapy and more, covering doctors, dentists, nurses, chiropractors, surgeons, psychologists) and correspondence (referral letters, insurance letters, patient communications, discharge summaries); fully customizable
- Two-tier AI: Stenoly Essential (default) + Stenoly Precision (higher-accuracy, paid users only)
Watch-outs
- Direct EHR integration list is narrower than the US-market leaders
- Independent international press coverage is still limited
