Pros & cons
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
Tandem Health
Pros

- All data stored and processed within EU data centers
- Explicit "your data is never used to train AI" position
- Real free tier — €0/user/mo with unlimited notes
Watch-outs
- Note quality is the headline weakness in our hands-on testing — hallucinations appear more often than from the precision-focused leaders
- Europe-focused — no HIPAA, no US deployment footprint
- Direct EHR integration is largely 1-click transfer rather than deep embed
