Post-session dictation · no recording
The post-session dictation AI scribe: complete notes without recording your patient.
In psychiatry, recording sessions isn’t always appropriate. Psynopsis is a post-session dictation AI scribe: dictate a two-minute summary after the patient leaves and get a complete, structured clinical note — MSE, medications, diagnosis-organized A&P — with no session recording at all.

How it works
Three steps. Two minutes. Complete note.
Step 1
Finish your session
See your patient normally. No recording devices, no ambient listening, no explaining AI to a paranoid patient.
Step 2
Dictate a 2-minute summary
After the patient leaves, dictate what matters: medication changes, symptom status by diagnosis, MSE findings, safety assessment and plan.
Step 3
Psynopsis structures it
Your dictation becomes a complete note — diagnosis-organized A&P, auto-populated MSE, medication list with dosages and the documentation to support your E&M level. Review, edit, done.
Why psychiatric providers prefer it
Ambient scribes work in primary care. Psychiatry is different.
No patient recording anxiety
Psychiatry is different. Patients with paranoia, trauma or trust issues may refuse treatment if they know they’re being recorded. Post-session dictation eliminates this barrier entirely.
No ambient noise errors
Ambient scribes mishear in noisy environments, through masks or when patients speak softly. Dictating clearly after the session means no “Lamictal 20 mg” when you said “200 mg.”
Faster than ambient for short visits
A 15-minute med management follow-up produces 15 minutes of audio for an ambient scribe to process. A 90-second dictation gives Psynopsis exactly what it needs — faster and more accurate.
Focus entirely on the patient
No laptop open, no “AI is listening” badge, no microphone placement. Just you and your patient. Document after, not during.
Your call, per visit
Dictation when it fits. Ambient when it doesn’t.
-
Dictation
Trauma, paranoia, forensic or custody-sensitive visits, or any patient who would rather not be recorded. Two minutes after the visit, nothing from the session captured.
-
Ambient
Longer evaluations and patients who are comfortable with it. The encounter is transcribed in real time and the audio is discarded immediately after.
-
Either, per visit
Switch modes patient by patient. The templates, MSE format and quality checks are identical, so your notes look the same either way.
“Half my patients would refuse to come back if I told them I was recording the session. Post-session dictation is the only workflow that works for psychiatry. I dictate for 90 seconds after each patient and have a complete note before the next one walks in.”
