Key Features

Everything you need for accurate voice-to-text transcription

Local Mode Privacy

In Local Mode, transcription runs on your computer and does not upload audio for transcription. Practices should still review endpoint security and Cloud Mode settings.

Between-Session Notes

Dictate session notes between clients, then review and edit them before saving. Time savings depend on note structure, review requirements, and transcription accuracy.

Works With EHR

Dictate into many SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, and browser-based note fields that accept typed or pasted text. Test your exact workflow before real notes.

Treatment Plans

Dictate comprehensive treatment plans, progress notes, and discharge summaries using natural speech.

Private Practice Friendly

No expensive enterprise contracts. Free tier for light use, or $10/month Pro plan for unlimited dictation.

GPU Acceleration

With supported NVIDIA GPU acceleration, dictation can be faster than CPU-only processing. Speed depends on model size, hardware, and audio length.

Documentation Without Burnout

Clinical documentation is a common source of administrative burden for therapy practices. Writing detailed session notes after each client takes significant time and mental energy.

Voice dictation lets you capture session observations naturally, speaking your notes as if recounting the session to a colleague. StarWhisper converts speech to text so you can test a dictate-and-edit workflow between sessions instead of relying only on typing.

Common Therapy Documentation Tasks

  • SOAP notes and progress notes after sessions
  • Treatment plans and goal updates
  • Intake assessments and psychosocial histories
  • Discharge summaries and referral letters
  • Insurance pre-authorization narratives

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe for therapy notes?
Yes, when configured for Local Mode. Transcription can run on the local device without uploading audio for transcription. Practices should still review workstation security, retention, access controls, update behavior, and Cloud Mode settings before using any tool with clinical content.
Can I dictate into SimplePractice?
StarWhisper works with many applications that accept typed or pasted text, including common browser-based EHR workflows. Test your specific EHR before using it for real notes.
How much time does it save?
Voice dictation can reduce typing time for some therapy documentation workflows after the clinician adapts the workflow. Time savings depend on note structure, review requirements, and transcription accuracy.
Do I need to be online?
After model download, Local Mode can transcribe without uploading audio for transcription. Test your setup before relying on it away from your usual workstation.
