AI Medical Scribe
Matic vs Stream
Scores are legacy evidence and documentation scores, not product-performance ratings. How it is computed
Stream, from River Records, files each visit under the patient's medical problems instead of by date. The vendor says it is built for independent practices, typically one to twenty clinicians. Pro costs $99 per clinician per month billed annually, or $149 on monthly billing, with a 30-day trial and a BAA on every plan. Fax and records intake is an add-on from $89 per month.
Matic began as ScribeMatic in Orem, Utah, was bought by Calvin Carter in April 2025 and now runs from Dallas. Its buyer is a physician group that wants chart prep and panel management around the scribe. Matic says its notes go directly into the EHR but does not say which EHRs. Stream's FAQ says there is no EHR write-back and none is planned this year, so notes leave by clipboard.
Procurement decides it for a group that requires SOC 2. Stream states outright that it is not SOC 2 certified, while Matic's home page shows a SOC 2 badge, a vendor claim. Stream is out for that group.
