Dictate a quick session summary and let AI write the note

Instead of recording sessions, a psychologist speaks a short summary of key points after each session. The AI turns it into a structured draft, which she refines.

Reported results

  • The source reports notes dropping from about 15 to 5 minutes per session (66%), about 10 minutes saved per client.

Source: Zanda case study (Source checked 2026-11-03)

How to try it

  1. After the session, dictate 1–2 minutes of key points.
  2. Generate the structured draft in your practice software.
  3. Refine wording so it reflects your clinical thinking.
  4. Keep drafting and refining as separate steps.

⚠️ Watch out

Summary-only dictation avoids recording clients, which some practices prefer.
