Therapy notes dictation
Therapy notes dictation that finishes between sessions

The notes shouldn't outlast the session
Every session leaves a note behind, and for most therapists those notes stack up until the end of the day — or the end of the week. Writing a progress note from memory hours later is slower, less accurate, and a standing source of dread. Generic dictation could help, except it doesn't know the clinical language of mental health and you'd never want session audio sitting on someone else's server.
Vowen is dictation built for that gap. It learns the vocabulary you document in, types into whatever EHR or notes field your cursor is in, and can run entirely on your machine — so you can speak a clean progress note in the few minutes between clients, while the session is still fresh.
Documentation that respects confidentiality and your time
Private by default, fluent in clinical language, fast between sessions.
Session audio can stay on-device
Vowen transcribes locally with on-device models by default, so what you dictate about a client doesn't have to leave your computer. Optional cloud AI is off until you turn it on with your own key.
Knows clinical mental-health terms
Add the language you document in — 'flat affect', 'GAD-7', 'cognitive behavioral therapy', 'psychosocial history' — and Vowen keeps it, so progress notes read clinically instead of being guessed at.
Types into any EHR or notes field
Vowen writes wherever your cursor is — a web-based EHR, a progress-note template, a treatment plan, a telehealth platform's notes panel. No integration to set up and nothing to paste.
Shapes a spoken recap into a SOAP note
Optional AI cleanup removes filler and fixes punctuation, and can format a spoken summary into a structured SOAP or DAP note ready to review and sign.
Finish notes in the gap between clients
Dictating the note right after a session beats reconstructing six of them at 7pm. Capture it while it's fresh and keep your evenings.
100+ languages
Work with multilingual clients and document across 100+ languages and dialects — Vowen can transcribe and translate so the clinical picture makes it into the record.
It speaks fluent clinical note
Add the terms you document in and Vowen keeps them. A few examples of what it handles:
An honest note on confidentiality & compliance
Vowen is general-purpose dictation software — not a certified healthcare or HIPAA-compliant product, and we don't offer a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) today. Because transcription can run entirely on your device, session audio doesn't have to be sent anywhere, but you remain responsible for protecting client information under HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2 where it applies, and your own ethical obligations. If you dictate protected health information, confirm your setup with your compliance team and keep optional cloud AI features off unless they've been approved.

What you've built is absolutely incredible. Extremely well done. I dictated this entire thing, which has saved me a significant amount of time and physical stress from typing.

Can therapists use Vowen for progress notes?
Yes. Vowen lets you speak SOAP, DAP, and progress notes into any EHR or notes field, with a custom dictionary for clinical mental-health vocabulary and on-device transcription so session audio can stay on your machine.
Does it understand clinical mental-health terms?
Add the terminology you document in — assessment scales, modalities, clinical descriptors like 'flat affect' or 'psychosocial history' — to Vowen's dictionary and it remembers them, so notes transcribe accurately instead of being guessed phonetically.
Does it work with my EHR or telehealth platform?
Vowen types wherever your cursor is, so it works in web-based EHR note fields, treatment-plan forms, and the notes panel of most telehealth platforms without a dedicated integration. If you can click into the field and type, you can dictate into it.
Is session information kept confidential?
By default Vowen transcribes on-device, so what you dictate doesn't have to leave your computer. Cloud AI features are optional and only run if you enable them with your own API key. Vowen isn't a certified HIPAA product and doesn't offer a BAA — see the confidentiality note above.
What does it cost?
Core dictation is free, with a one-time Pro upgrade for the advanced features and no per-seat subscription. See the pricing page for current details.
