Scribeberry vs Tali AI (2026)
The Canadian shortlist, and a genuinely close one because both name SOC 2 Type II in their own material, which much of this category does not. Both claim PHIPA, PIPEDA and HIPAA, and both were vetted through Canadian public procurement, Scribeberry through Supply Ontario and Tali through the Canada Health Infoway scribe programme. Neither publishes the report itself, so the position is named rather than retrievable on both sides. Tali is the deeper integration play, with effectively complete coverage of the Canadian record system market and both notes and recordings stored and processed inside Canada. Scribeberry is the broader and more commercially open one, publishing 99 US dollars per provider per month with every integration included, claiming more than 90 specialties, documenting in English and French, and enforcing dual residency so Canadian data stays in Canada and United States data in the United States. If your record system is on Tali's list, Tali. If you practise across both countries or need French, Scribeberry.
- Regulatory coverage that names the statutes a Canadian buyer is actually governed by, spanning HIPAA, PIPEDA, PHIPA and Quebec Law 25, the last of which almost nobody else names, with business associate agreements signed.
- Published pricing that is simple and inclusive, 99 US dollars per provider per month for unlimited use with every integration included and no per feature or per connection charge, stated on the site rather than behind a quote.
- Breadth on both coverage and residency: more than 90 specialties claimed with named coverage from family medicine to dentistry, documentation in English and French, and enforced regional residency keeping Canadian data in Canada and United States data in the United States.
- Effectively complete coverage of one national record system market, with integrations spanning Accuro, TELUS Collaborative Health Record, Med Access, Oscar Pro, PS Suite and more, which is a harder achievement than partial coverage of several.
- Both notes and recordings are stored and processed within Canada, a stronger statement than the note only residency commitments common in this category, with configurable residency options for buyers who need them.
- A deliberate insert step rather than an automatic write: the note is generated and edited inside Tali, and only then does the clinician choose to place it in the chart, which separates generation from the record by design.

Side by Side
Each record in one paragraph
Written to be quoted whole. Each paragraph states what the AI Health Index verified about the vendor, with the caveats attached. Generated from this pair’s live capability grades, so it moves when a grade moves.
The AI Health Index awards Scribeberry its top capability grade on several axes, including AI Centrality, AI Safety and PHI Stewardship and EHR and Interoperability Depth. Set against Tali AI, Scribeberry grades higher on several axes, including Model Supply Chain Disclosure, Clinical and Operational Evidence and AI Safety and PHI Stewardship. Grades reflect evidence the AI Health Index could verify at the last review, so a low grade records disclosure the vendor has not published rather than a capability it has been shown to lack.

The AI Health Index awards Tali AI its top capability grade on AI Centrality, EHR and Interoperability Depth and Commercial Transparency. Set against Scribeberry, Tali AI does not grade higher on any scored axis, though the two are level on several axes, including AI Centrality, Autonomy and Oversight Model and Model and Technology Transparency. Grades reflect evidence the AI Health Index could verify at the last review, so a low grade records disclosure the vendor has not published rather than a capability it has been shown to lack.

Questions buyers ask
Should we choose Scribeberry or Tali AI?
The AI Health Index grades Scribeberry higher than Tali AI on every axis that separates them, several axes, including Model Supply Chain Disclosure, Clinical and Operational Evidence and AI Safety and PHI Stewardship. Tali AI does not grade higher on any scored axis.
Where do Scribeberry and Tali AI differ most?
The widest separation the AI Health Index records between Scribeberry and Tali AI is on Model Supply Chain Disclosure, where Scribeberry grades B and Tali AI grades C. That axis sits in the AI Capability group, so it should carry the most weight for a buyer whose binding constraint is how much of the work the model itself is trusted to do.
Where do Scribeberry and Tali AI grade the same?
The AI Health Index grades Scribeberry and Tali AI the same on several axes, including AI Centrality, Autonomy and Oversight Model and Model and Technology Transparency. Neither holds an advantage the index can evidence on those axes, so they should not carry weight in a selection between these two.

Both vendors publish accuracy or speed claims that cannot be checked. Scribeberry claims 99.9 percent accuracy with no methodology, reference standard, denominator or date, and Tali offers speed rather than correctness, describing documentation three times faster than typing. Neither names a model, publishes an evaluation method or publishes an accent, dialect or language performance analysis, which matters in a bilingual market.
On security both name the attestation and neither publishes it. Tali's terms provide copies of security reports on written request and subject to confidentiality, and its security page offers the privacy impact assessment and penetration test reports the same way. No portal either buyer can open without asking was located on either side, which is what separates a named attestation from a retrievable one.
Scribeberry's ADA autonomous intake agent is a materially different risk surface from the scribe and should be evaluated separately rather than assumed to inherit the scribe's oversight model. Neither vendor has a peer reviewed study or controlled evaluation; their external reference points are procurement vetting rather than clinical evidence.
