Stop saying "ambient listening"

What even is "ambient listening"? Let's stop using this marketing phrase to describe products that record and transcribe therapy sessions, doctors appointments, etc. It's not fair to the clinician or the client.

AI doesn't belong in a therapy session

Therapy sessions should be between the therapist and the client. AI doesn't belong in the room.

No AI in the Therapy Session

It's all about the humans in the therapy session. And the (human) therapist is the one that should ne listening, observing, and using clinical judgement... Not AI.


Reviews for Quill about Ambient Listening

"Quill has changed my life! I have always struggled with notes, not because they are hard, but because they are time-consuming. Quill has cut the time it takes me to complete notes in half meaning way less stress for me! The notes are clear, concise, and well-written. I decided to try Quill after a coworker recommended it. I was uncomfortable with platforms that listen to entire sessions and was told that it's still time-consuming to have to read through those notes to check for errors. I gave Quill a try and will never go without!"

"I cannot believe how much easier this has made documentation. And I love your stance on AI. I have not and will NEVER use ambient listening, auto documentation or whatever companies are disguising these HIPAA violations as into my sessions. I've spent too much time and energy cultivating the therapeutic relationship to break for the sake of 'convenience'. Quill allows me to take my thoughts and put it in the appropriate format for the medical record. Thank you so very much for this practical and perfect solution. I am looking forward to what you come up with next."

- Therapist, LICSW, APHSW-C, MSW
