Verbato and Mentalyc, side by side
Mentalyc is built for clinical documentation in therapy: it listens to the session and writes the note for your EHR. Verbato transcribes a recording and writes the documents you define from it, for therapists and for five other professions.
Which one fits
Mentalyc fits if you want each session's note in the format your EHR takes and placed into it, with a note for each member of a group and analytics of the session.
Verbato fits if you want the word-for-word transcript beside each note to check it against the session, work in another of 80+ languages, or document more than sessions. Verbato connects to no EHR: you export the note or copy it.
