Built for the dental operatory
Generic dictation tools struggle with dental terminology — they miss tooth numbers and butcher procedure names. ButterNote's voice-to-text is different. It's built on Whisper AI running directly on your device, optimized for the language dentists actually use.
Whether you're describing a Class II MOD composite, noting buccal recession on #19, or discussing a treatment plan with your patient, ButterNote captures it accurately. And because everything runs on-device, your recordings never leave your phone — keeping patient conversations private and HIPAA-compliant.
