NovaScribe vs. Suki AI: Which AI Scribe Fits Your Practice?
Suki started as a voice assistant, where clinicians spoke commands to pull up chart data and dictate (Business Wire, 2022). Today it also generates ambient notes, stages orders from the conversation, and answers spoken questions about the chart. NovaScribe takes a simpler route. You talk with your patient normally, with no commands to learn, and NovaScribe writes the note for you to paste into any EHR.
Both are capable tools. They’re built for different buyers, and this post shows which one fits yours.

How each one works in clinic
Suki offers several ways to document:
- Ambient notes. Suki transcribes the visit and generates “a structured, specialty-specific note that’s sent to the EHR” (Suki for Clinicians).
- Voice editing and dictation. You can edit notes by voice and dictate pre-charting content. Suki Dictation supports “scripts and custom voice commands” (Suki Dictation).
- Order staging. Suki “can proactively stage orders directly from your patient conversation for you to review and approve.”
- Ask. Launched October 8, 2026, Ask lets clinicians use “spoken natural language or typed questions” to find medications, allergies, vitals and lab results in the EHR (Suki press release).
NovaScribe keeps the workflow to three steps. You record the visit as a normal conversation in the web app or the iOS or Android app, with no commands or structured dictation. You review the finished note, then paste it into your EHR. You can also give NovaScribe plain-language instructions on how you like your notes written.
EHR fit
Suki’s deepest integrations are with four EHRs: “Suki integrates with Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth, and MEDITECH” (Suki EHR integrations). On those systems, Suki says its notes “sync directly into the EHR” (Suki).
If your practice runs eClinicalWorks, AdvancedMD or another EHR, Suki offers Suki Compose, which it says “works with all EHRs.” Its workflow ends with copy and paste (Suki Compose). Suki also makes its coding available “on any browser or platform, allowing copy-and-paste of generated codes” for clinicians on non-integrated EHRs (Suki press release).
Suki also reaches some other EHRs through vendor partnerships. Sevocity, for example, launched Ambient Listening powered by Suki in June 2026, which writes notes directly into the chart (Suki press release). Where no integration exists, both products work the same way: copy and paste. NovaScribe is built around that workflow from the start, with no integration project.
Coding head-to-head
Both products code, and both pitch revenue capture.
On October 20, 2025, Suki announced “automated generation of ICD-10, HCC, CPT, and E/M codes.” It selects specific ICD-10 codes to capture HCCs for risk adjustment, links CPT codes to diagnoses, and recommends E/M codes “with supporting rationale” (Suki press release).
NovaScribe Professional includes:
- CPT code suggestions with wRVU and dollar estimates, including counseling and time-based services.
- ICD-10 codes, validated against CMS code sets.
- E/M level analysis.
- MDM upgrade suggestions that flag when your documentation supports a higher E/M level.
The differences that matter to a productivity-paid physician: NovaScribe puts a wRVU estimate next to each CPT code, flags MDM upgrades, and publishes the price of all of it, $229 a month or $2,299 a year. HCC capture for risk adjustment is a Suki strength that matters most to value-based organizations.
Pricing and access
Suki doesn’t publish prices on its website. Its product pages send buyers to “Talk to our team,” and its contact page says, “Complete the form, and someone from our Sales team will get back to you shortly.” We didn’t find a self-serve sign-up or free trial on Suki’s site.
NovaScribe publishes its individual plan prices on its website (Enterprise plans for teams and residency programs are custom-priced):
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10 notes a month with all Professional features; no credit card |
| Basic | $99/mo or $999/yr | Unlimited notes; no billing tools |
| Professional | $229/mo or $2,299/yr | Unlimited notes plus CPT with wRVU, ICD-10, E/M and MDM analysis |
Where Suki fits best
Suki is a strong choice for:
- Health systems and large groups on Epic, Oracle Health, athenahealth or MEDITECH that want notes synced directly into the chart.
- Organizations that want orders staged from the visit and chart questions answered by voice.
- Practices with value-based contracts, where HCC capture drives revenue.
- Clinicians who see patients in many languages. Suki supports 80.
Specialty notes
NovaScribe supports 15 specialties: cardiology, dermatology, emergency medicine, family medicine, gastroenterology, general surgery, infectious disease, internal medicine, nephrology, neurology, OB/GYN, orthopedic surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and pulmonology. It also writes operative notes for all major surgical specialties.
NovaScribe was built by a practicing cardiologist, Patrick Proctor, MD, FACC, who uses it in his own clinic every day.
“I’ve been extremely impressed with the Novascribe program. As a nurse practitioner operating in a busy outpatient cardiology clinic, Novascribe has significantly improved my charting efficiency and streamlined my workflow. My documentation is faster, more organized, and I’m consistently able to complete charts immediately after each patient encounter. This has reduced the need for after-hours charting and allows me to stay more focused and present during patient visits rather than dividing my attention between the patient and the computer.
