Marea vs Heidi

Heidi vs Marea, side by side.

Voice scribe across many medical specialties.

Heidi is good at
  • Solid general-purpose ambient AI scribe across medicine.
  • Easy to get started for individual clinicians.
  • Active product, good developer momentum.
Where Marea wins
  • Dental-native — every workflow, term, and template is built for dentistry, not configured for it.
  • Goes deeper than the note — the referral drafts itself from the note, and perio charting works by voice in early access.
  • Direct PMS write-back — Open Dental, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, TDO, and others — instead of copy/paste.
  • Built by people who shipped a dental PMS. Not a horizontal team retro-fitting dental.

An honest take

When to pick which.

If you only need a scribe and your practice is comfortable copy-pasting notes into the chart, Heidi works fine. If you want documentation that is dental-native end to end — the note, the referral letter, and voice perio charting in early access — written straight back to your PMS, Marea Documentation is the right shape.
