## What is SOAP Note Buddy?

Finish your patient notes 10x faster. SOAP Note Buddy is a HIPAA compliant medical AI voice scribe that automatically writes and fills your EHR documentation fields in about 2 minutes without any manual typing or copy-pasting. 

Voice record your patient session or type a quick summary, and let AI generate your entire note. Built by a home health PTA with 5+ years of experience who was tired of spending evenings on documentation instead of being present with family.


HOW IT WORKS

1. Add your patient's evaluation summary once — SOAP Note Buddy stores it securely on your device

2. Open your patient's note in any web-based EHR

3. Record your session with the built-in voice scribe or type a brief daily summary

4. Click "Auto Fill" — AI detects every field in your EHR, generates clinically appropriate content matched to your patient's goals, and fills them all automatically

That's it. No copying and pasting between apps, no templates to fill out, no extra steps. Your fields are filled with clinically appropriate content that matches your patient's plan of care, progress status, and treatment approach.


KEY FEATURES

AI medical voice scribe — record patient sessions and automatically generate detailed clinical notes from your audio, hands-free.

Works with ANY web-based EHR system — no integrations, no API keys, no IT department required.

Universal smart field detection automatically identifies text fields, textareas, dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and custom controls in your 

EHR and populates them with appropriate values.

Notes tailored to each patient's individual treatment plan, goals, and current progress.

Goal-aware content generation — when your EHR has multiple goals with identical field names, SOAP Note Buddy understands which goal each field belongs to and generates unique, relevant content for each one.

Supports multiple clinical specialties including PT, OT, SLP, nursing, and home health.

Rolling patient context — stores eval summaries and previous note summaries locally on your device so each visit note builds naturally on the last, maintaining continuity of care.

HIPAA compliant — all patient data is automatically scrubbed using advanced PHI detection before any AI processing occurs, and no protected health information is ever stored on external servers. Your patient data never leaves your device.


WHO IT'S FOR

Physical therapists documenting daily treatment notes

Occupational therapists writing progress updates

Speech-language pathologists completing session notes

Home health clinicians managing high caseloads and patient volumes

Nursing professionals completing visit documentation

Any healthcare professional using a web-based EHR who wants to reclaim their evenings


SAVE 1+ HOUR EVERY DAY

Clinicians report a 75% reduction in documentation time. The average therapist spends 1-2 hours per day on notes alone — that adds up to over 300 hours per year spent on paperwork instead of patient care or personal time. SOAP Note Buddy gives you that time back so you can focus on what actually matters — delivering quality care to your patients and having a life outside of work.

### 5/5 — I can breath again

*2026-05-23*

This product is wonderful and the creator is always helpful as a fellow clinician! This app has allowed me to effectively perform my actual job as a PT vs a ‘skilled data entry person’🤣. I am amazed at how easy use is and will recommend to fellow clinicians.

### 5/5 — Best AI medical scribe for SOAP notes

*2026-05-11*

If you’re looking for an AI medical scribe, voice scribe, or clinical documentation app that actually works, this is it. SOAP Note Buddy has genuinely changed how fast clinicians can finish patient notes.

The workflow is simple. Record the patient session with the voice scribe (or type a quick summary if you forgot to hit record), open your EHR, and the app fills the EHR fields for you automatically. Not just one big text blob dumped into “subjective.” It actually identifies the different fields, dropdowns, and checkboxes and populates the right content in each one. When the EHR has multiple goals with identical field names, it figures out which goal goes where instead of repeating the same text. That feature alone is worth it.

The SOAP notes sound natural, not like generic AI filler, because the app pulls from the evaluation summary and previous daily notes. Continuity of care actually shows up in the documentation now. HIPAA compliant too, which matters.

Whether you’re in PT, OT, SLP, nursing, or home health, this is the best clinical note app, medical documentation app, and EHR autofill tool out there. The pricing is a great value when you consider how many hours of charting it saves every week. The 7 day free trial is a real trial too, full features, no gimmicks.

Hands down the best AI scribe and SOAP note generator available. Highly recommend to any clinician drowning in patient notes and EHR documentation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

### 5/5 — Saved my life!!

*2026-05-11*

This is amazing! Soap note buddy has brought a work life balance back into my life. I can finally be done with my notes during the work day and I never have to bring them home! I have my weekends back! The premium subscription with the voice transcription is so worth it. I’ll never not use it again!
