Frequently Asked Questions

  • MentalNote is $20 per month. A subscription can be purchased in the app.

  • MentalNote employs multiple layers of protection. All audio is processed locally on your device—nothing is sent to the cloud. Our three-tiered redaction system automatically removes identifying information like names, dates, locations, phone numbers, emails, and more. After processing, no data is retained; once you close the application, all session content is permanently deleted from the app’s memory. MentalNote maintains HIPAA and FERPA compliance through our zero-retention policy and bank-level encryption for any necessary data transmission.

  • You don't need internet access during the actual therapy session. The core transcription functionality works completely offline since all audio processing happens locally on your device. However, an internet connection is required initially to log in to your account and when generating the suggested clinical notes from transcripts, as this step leverages our secure AI processing. This hybrid approach maximizes both privacy and functionality.

  • No, but this is an intentional security feature. MentalNote generates suggested documentation that you can review, edit, and then copy and paste into your EHR. This intentional separation enhances security by preventing direct data sharing between systems.

  • MentalNote adapts to your unique documentation needs across any healthcare discipline. Create custom document types tailored to your specific practice—whether you're drafting clinical notes, assessment reports, treatment documentation, or patient communications. Each document type features fully customizable instructions that you can modify to match your professional standards, workplace requirements, and preferred format. Design your own templates from scratch or modify existing ones to create a personalized documentation system that works exactly how you need it to.
