Who CareWay suits, and why clinicians compare.

CareWay suits Québec clinicians who want a certified scribe from a Québec company, writing notes in French or English straight into MYLE.

CareWay vs Vero

  • Notes don’t stay

    The standalone app deletes data after 48 hours, and its terms give a 7-day default.

  • One EMR

    MYLE is the only EMR CareWay names an integration with; elsewhere you copy the note.

  • Free for residents only

    Unlimited Scribe is CA$149 a month, or CA$135 billed yearly; only resident physicians use it free.

Frequently asked questions.

Which CareWay alternatives are certified in Québec?

Plume IA, AutoScribe, Tali AI and Heidi (as Heidi Santé Canada) are on Québec’s list of certified AI scribes, updated September 2026. Santé Québec has completed its own privacy assessment of CareWay, Plume IA and AutoScribe; Heidi’s is listed as coming, and Tali’s as not done. Vero isn’t certified, so it isn’t an option for clinical use in Québec.

What is the best CareWay alternative?

In Québec, choose a certified scribe: consider Plume IA, for Québec clinicians who want a certified scribe with a built-in internal-medicine guide; AutoScribe, for physicians who want a certified scribe that writes into PS Suite, Oscar or Accuro; Tali AI, for clinicians who want a certified scribe wired into most Canadian EMRs; and Heidi, for clinicians who want a certified scribe with a free plan and unlimited notes. For clinicians outside Québec who want notes kept as long as they choose, with cited evidence and any fillable PDF, our pick is Vero.

Why do clinicians outside Québec switch from CareWay to Vero?

Vero keeps notes as long as you choose, or deletes them automatically after 1 to 365 days. CareWay’s standalone app deletes data after 48 hours. After the 7-day trial, Vero keeps 10 free actions every month, with no credit card. Only resident physicians use CareWay free. Ask a clinical question and get a cited answer beside the note, on every plan.

Is there a free alternative to CareWay?

Vero keeps a free plan after its 7-day trial: 10 actions every month, with no credit card. Tali AI keeps a free plan of 5 scribes and 60 dictation minutes a month after its 14-day trial. Heidi has a free plan with unlimited ambient documentation. Plume IA and AutoScribe publish no permanent free plan.
