ScribeMD vs Speke AI
Speke AI's Express page states read-write integrations with Epic, Athena and eClinicalWorks. ScribeMD names Epic, Cerner, athenahealth and Veradigm and claims 35+ integrations, with no description of depth. Where an Epic clinic needs write-back stated before it signs, Speke has the statement and ScribeMD drops out. Speke fits where a published figure matters: Express is $150 per month billed monthly, and Pro, priced by quote, adds QA of the AI note by trained specialists before the provider approves it. Express is a hard sell to an individual physician, since ScribeMD's individual tier is free and the vendor does not state its limits. ScribeMD fits a group or health system buying more than notes from one vendor: an AI phone agent and billing automation, under an enterprise contract with a BAA.
