AI Scribe for SimplePractice
Dictate or record your visit, review the SOAP note, then sync it into your SimplePractice appointment in one click. Every section lands in its own field—no copy-paste.
HIPAA compliant. BAA available. First 20 notes free, no credit card.
From Visit to Synced Note in 3 Steps
SOAPNoteAI does the writing. The free Chrome extension does the filing—directly into your SimplePractice appointment.
Capture the visit
Dictate a recap afterward, record the in-person or telehealth session (up to 2 hours), upload audio, or type shorthand. Whatever fits the encounter.
Review the SOAP note
The AI generates a structured SOAP note. You read it, make any edits, and confirm it reads the way you want before anything touches the chart.
Sync into SimplePractice in one click
On a SimplePractice appointment page, the extension fills Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan into their matching fields individually—no copy-paste. Using another EHR? Copy the finished note in one tap.

No Session Recording Required
Many ambient scribes only work if you record the whole session. SOAPNoteAI does not force that.
With dictation mode, you skip recording the client entirely. After the session, you dictate a short recap in your own words and the AI builds the SOAP note from that. For therapists and counselors who are uncomfortable recording a live session—or whose clients would rather not be recorded—this is a meaningful privacy option.
You can still record in-person or telehealth sessions when it makes sense. If you do record therapy sessions, see our guide to transcribing therapy sessions and obtaining client consent. The choice stays with you, session by session.
Who It Is For
Built for behavioral health private practice, and useful for any practice that documents in SimplePractice.
Therapists & counselors
Document individual, couples, or family sessions in SOAP—or in DAP and BIRP, the behavioral-health progress-note formats—then sync into SimplePractice.
Psychiatrists & psych NPs
Capture med-management visits by dictation or recording. See our psychiatry documentation guide for structure and examples.
Social workers
Turn a quick recap into a structured note that meets clinical documentation standards, without staying late to chart.
Any SimplePractice-based practice
