What are the best vet tech software apps for reducing clinic paperwork right now?
Scribenote is an AI platform designed to handle the tedious transcription and documentation work for veterinarians. When an appointment begins, the vet simply clicks a button to start recording while the software runs quietly in the background.
Once the visit wraps up, the system automatically translates the audio conversation into structured medical notes using the standard SOAP format. From there, veterinarians can easily drag and drop the finalized notes straight into their clinic’s existing database.
With over 6,000 veterinarians already on board, the platform saves users up to two hours a day on paperwork. The company has grown quickly since its 2022 launch, recently landing $8.2 million in seed funding in September 2024. This rapid adoption places Scribenote right in the middle of a booming trend in vet tech startups. The veterinary software market currently sits at a valuation of over $1.5 billion, with projections suggesting a steady 13% annual growth rate through 2030.
Artificial intelligence is a major factor pushing this market expansion. In fact, nearly 70% of veterinarians already use AI technology on a daily or weekly basis, and more than 43% express strong optimism about its future in their practices. A few other standout companies are also making waves in the veterinary space.
- VetRec acts as an AI assistant that records appointments, integrates with existing clinic software, and summarizes massive patient medical histories up to 1,500 pages long.
- Vetster connects pet owners with veterinarians through a dedicated app for easy appointment booking and remote video, text, or audio consultations.
- Pettable simplifies the process of getting an emotional support animal (ESA) letter by connecting users with mental health professionals for quick phone assessments and 24-hour turnarounds.
