What the platform actually does.
Not marketing language. Not vague promises. Here's exactly how SPEDScribe works, what it can and can't do, and what's coming next.
Audio Capture: Use whatever you have
Available NowSPEDScribe works with any recording method. Three equal options — pick whichever fits your workflow.
Record directly in SPEDScribe. No hardware needed.
Record with your phone's voice memo app, upload the file.
Any clinical-grade wearable recorder works.
Transcription: Clinical-grade, not consumer-grade
Available NowAudio is transcribed by medical-specialized AI transcription services — not the recorder's built-in transcription, not generic speech-to-text, and not Siri.
AI Documentation: How SOAP notes are actually created
Available NowThe AI doesn't just summarize the transcript. It interprets clinical data through the same frameworks your providers use.
Score interpretation bands for 80+ standardized assessments across 7 disciplines. Condition-Behavior-Criterion goal framework. Endrew F. compliance standards. California Ed. Code timelines. L1 transfer patterns for 16 California languages. IDEA eligibility criteria. This is the same knowledge base visible on our Clinical Standards page.
The specific student's evaluation data, current IEP goals, prior session notes, and service parameters. So the AI knows that today's 82% accuracy on /r/ is the second consecutive session at criterion, and the goal requires three.
The de-identified transcript from today's session. Every clinical claim in the generated note must cite specific transcript evidence.
The AI generates structured documentation — SOAP notes, PLAAFP statements, annual goals, progress reports — grounded in all three layers. It never fabricates data. It flags ambiguity with [CLINICIAN REVIEW NEEDED] markers.
The clinical standards on our website aren't marketing decoration. They're the actual knowledge base the AI references when generating your documentation.
Clinical Copilot: Catching what gets missed
Available NowOverwhelmed providers miss things. Not because they're bad clinicians — because they're documenting 50 students while running back-to-back sessions. The AI catches documentation gaps.
- Streaming SOAP, PLAAFP, Annual Goals, Progress Report, and Accommodation Snapshot generation pipeline
- Discipline-specific SOAP templates for all 7 disciplines: SLP, OT, School Psychology, SPED Teaching, BCBA, APE, and DHH
- SMART goal scoring — every goal audited for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound criteria
- PLAAFP density checker flags thin or generic present-level statements before they reach the IEP team
- Year-over-year goal similarity scoring aligned with the Endrew F. meaningful-progress standard
- Automatic plateau and regression alerts with a prompt to review trend data
- L1 transfer pattern library across 16 California languages to distinguish language difference from disorder
- Parent translation summaries in 16 California languages (Spanish, Hmong, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Tagalog, Korean, Punjabi, Farsi, Armenian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Pashto, Dari)
- Medicaid billing metadata with CPT and ICD-10 crosswalk suggestions per session
- Voice commands for hands-free capture during sessions
- Session timer with interpreter-present flag tagging
- Formatted export to all 8 supported IEP platforms (SEIS, SIRAS, EasyIEP, Frontline, PowerSchool, SameGoal, SpedTrack, Generic Plain Text)
- Clinical Resources library — assessment metadata, score bands, and companion tool suggestions for 80+ standardized tools
- Provider Insights dashboard with documentation quality, cadence, and caseload load metrics
- Flags when transcript data contradicts stated accuracy percentages or error patterns are mentioned but not documented
- [CLINICIAN REVIEW NEEDED] and [VERIFY] markers inserted for ambiguous or out-of-range data
- Cross-references every session against the student's full evaluation data — e.g., surfaces GFTA-3 /t/ errors when only /r/ is being targeted
- Session-over-session goal coverage drift detection across a caseload
- Readiness-to-advance flags when accuracy data outpaces the current goal level
- Predictive analytics: 'Based on current growth rate, this student is projected to meet/not meet criterion by the annual review'
- Automatic ESY eligibility flagging based on regression risk analysis across break periods
- Caseload optimization suggestions based on session frequency and progress data patterns
Parent Communication: Clinical notes in plain language
Available NowAfter the provider approves the clinical SOAP note, one click generates a parent-friendly summary in 16 languages covering California's largest non-English student populations: Spanish, Hmong, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Filipino/Tagalog, Korean, Punjabi, Farsi/Persian, Armenian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Pashto, and Dari.
The approved clinical note is sent back to the AI with a translation prompt that converts clinical terminology into plain language while preserving the essential information: what was worked on, how the child did, and what's next.
IEP Team Visibility: No more working in silos
Available NowEvery provider on a student's IEP team can see what the others are working on. The SLP knows the OT worked on handwriting yesterday. The school psych can read session notes from every provider before writing the annual review.
AOTA, APTA, and ASHA's 2022 joint statement recommended interprofessional collaborative practice. That starts with providers having visibility into each other's work. SPEDScribe makes that visibility automatic — not another meeting to attend.
Role-based access control enforced at the database level. Providers only see students on their caseload. Parents only see approved documents. All access is logged for FERPA compliance.
IEP System Integration: We fill SEIS, not replace it
Available NowSPEDScribe is not an IEP system. It's the engine that fills your IEP system with better documentation faster. We generate the clinical content — you paste or import it into SEIS, EasyIEP, or whatever platform your district uses.
One click copies the formatted note. Paste directly into any SEIS text field.
Downloads a structured text file with SEIS field labels: Service Date, Duration, Provider, Goals Addressed, Session Notes, Progress Data.
Branded PDF for the IEP file, parent copies, or compliance documentation.
We're not asking your district to rip out SEIS. We're asking your providers to spend 2 minutes reviewing an AI draft instead of 45 minutes writing from scratch. The output goes into the same system you already use.
Direct SEIS integration is on our roadmap. Until then, copy-paste and structured SEIS export keep the workflow fast.
