Dentascribe has been the most useful dental tool I've tried. It really takes the pressure off writing notes and it's been a part of my every day practice for months. Would really recommend to any dentist - especially if you're struggling to finish off your notes and get home on time. Even my nurses love it and its user friendly interface!

Easiest dental notes software to use. Dentascribe has been super useful in helping me streamline my note taking efficiency and ensuring you don't miss out any of the important medical-legal bits. You can also customise your templates to make it truly personalised. Recommended especially for dentists who still copy and paste templates :)

Completely seamless software which makes my day to day as a dentist so much easier. The built in AI is something that is so useful and has altered my practice for the better. I don't know where I would be without it!

Amazing dental note-taking software! Has made dental note taking easy while still tailored to the patient as the template changes based on clinical findings. My nurse prefers it to conventional templates and finds it very easy to use. You're able to edit the templates as you like as well, could not recommend this website enough!

Dentascribe is the best digital note taking tool out there. It is swift to use, easy to modify to your needs and allows you to spend more time focusing and having those important conversations with your patients. The developer is continuously improving the software.

Professional features, lower monthly fees
DigitalTCO popularised AI dental audio notes. As technology advances, we believe AI and faster note taking should be a utility accessible to everyone, not a luxury subscription. Start for free with unlimited clickable notes, then move to paid plans only when you need to.

DigitalTCO offers a 14-day trial. Comparison methodology: Prices and features were verified against DigitalTCO's official website (digitaltco.com/pricing) in November 2026. For each feature, the table displays the lowest priced tier on each platform that includes that feature.
"I’ve tried platforms like Kiroku and DigitalTCO, hoping for that perfect solution... Then I found Dentascribe and it genuinely felt like someone had taken the best parts of both, refined them, and created an amalgamation that actually works."
Dr Shandy Vijayan Restorative and Cosmetic Dentist
Accurate to the appointment
DigitalTCO notes tend to be long, paraphrased, and padded for completeness, which makes them much harder to review. Dentascribe writes a clinical record that matches what happened in the room: structured the way UK dentists expect, free of informal conversation, and without filling gaps with options, risks or findings that were never discussed.
Advised on cause of pain, advised on options: 1. Adjust fill - may or may not settle down, if pain completely resolves, that's good 2. If pain doesn't completely resolve, partially remove fill and investigate for fracture and remove, may fix problem, or make worse 3. If pain worsens or doesn't resolve after partially removing fill, RCT Pt happy to proceed with adjustment today, pt understands all the outcomes Advised to contact for emergency if pain worsens, may need extirpation if pt returns and clear irreversible pulpitis Or partial fill removal and GIC temp if investigating
A fraction of the monthly price
DigitalTCO is £118.80 a month including VAT for one dentist, or £99 a month including VAT when billed yearly. Dentascribe audio notes are £29 a month, or £21 a month billed yearly.
AI that adapts to your clinical style
Digital TCO generates notes from a fixed approach. Dentascribe learns from every edit you make, picking up your preferred phrasing, level of detail, and clinical style over time. Each note needs fewer corrections the more you use it. No more fighting a one-size-fits-all output.
Which one is right for you?
Stick with DigitalTCO
We looked for something DigitalTCO does that Dentascribe doesn't and couldn't find one, as of 10 November 2026. If that changes, we'll update this page.
Switch to Dentascribe if...
You want a clinical record that is accurate to the appointment and easy to review, not one padded with details that were never discussed. You also want the same core capabilities (audio notes, dictation, and patient letters), plus features DigitalTCO doesn't offer (clickable notes, AI learning, practice-managed template sharing), at a fraction of the monthly cost.
The best way to decide is to try them both. They both offer free trials. The information above is for guidance only.
