Doctora vs Eyefinity EncompassScribe
Eyefinity's EncompassScribe lives inside the Eyefinity Encompass EHR and is still in beta. Doctora documents the entire encounter — history through plan, plus ICD-10 and CPT codes — works across every major optometry EHR, and is available today. Here's an honest, up-to-date comparison.
The short answer
Doctora and Eyefinity's EncompassScribe take a similar approach: both are built for eye care, both use ambient listening, and both turn the visit into structured chart data rather than a raw transcript. The differences are availability, reach, coding, and devices. EncompassScribe is in beta, with general availability planned for summer 2026, runs on iPad and iPhone, and works only inside Eyefinity Encompass. Doctora is available in production today, lets you chart on a computer, the iOS app, or a pocket recorder, works across the major optometry EHRs, and generates ICD-10 and CPT codes with each charge linked to its diagnosis.

What is Eyefinity EncompassScribe?
EncompassScribe by Eyefinity is an AI-assisted documentation tool built into the Eyefinity Encompass EHR, first announced in September 2025. According to Eyefinity, it uses ambient listening to generate structured clinical data that populates the appropriate fields in the patient record — reviewed and approved by the doctor across chief complaint and HPI, exam, and impressions and plans — along with suggested billing codes.
As of June 2026 it is in beta — Eyefinity has been refining it with trial users through a series of beta releases — with general availability targeted for summer 2026. It runs on iPad and iPhone — Eyefinity lists minimum hardware of an M2-class iPad or an iPhone 13 or newer — supports English-language encounters only, and works only inside Eyefinity Encompass. Eyefinity has not publicly disclosed the underlying AI technology or named a third-party vendor.
What is Doctora?
Doctora is an AI medical scribe built specifically for optometry that works with the EHR you already use. It listens to the exam, structures the entire visit into the discrete chart fields your record uses, and writes it back into your EHR for you to review and approve.
Because Doctora is EHR-agnostic, the same scribe works whether your practice runs on Eyefinity, RevolutionEHR, EyeCloudPro, CrystalPM, or OfficeMate — it documents the full encounter all the way through ICD-10 and CPT coding, and you can use it today.

Doctora structures the whole visit — more than 100 discrete, optometry-specific fields, recorded per eye — and then generates the coding to match, so the chart is finished, not just started.

Built for optometry — from day one, by optometrists
Doctora was built from day one for optometry, by optometrists — it's independent and founder-owned, started by an optometrist and her son — with independent and private practices top of mind, from the structure of the exam to the way findings, diagnoses, and codes come together. Optometry isn't one specialty among many for us; it's the only one.
Eyefinity describes EncompassScribe as trained on optometric language libraries, but has not publicly disclosed the underlying AI technology, and the product is still in beta ahead of a summer 2026 rollout. Doctora is here today, purpose-built for the way optometrists actually chart.
Capture the visit however you work
EncompassScribe runs on an iPad or iPhone — and not just any model: Eyefinity lists minimum requirements of an M2-class iPad or an iPhone 13 or newer. Doctora gives you a choice with no new hardware to buy: chart on the computer you already use, on the iPhone/iPad app, or hands-free with a pocket-sized recording device. Whichever you pick, the structured exam ends up in the same place — your EHR's real chart fields, ready for your review.
One scribe for the whole visit — on the EHR you already run
From the chief complaint to the coded plan, Doctora handles the full record. The structured exam flows into the chart fields your staff already use; you review, approve, and it's saved — no retyping and no switching to a separate tablet app. You stay on your current EHR, and you can start today.
When EncompassScribe might be the right fit
If your practice is on Eyefinity Encompass, your doctors are happy charting on an iPad, and you prefer a native tool with nothing extra to install, EncompassScribe will be a natural fit once it reaches general availability.
Practices choose Doctora when they need a scribe today, run an EHR other than Eyefinity (or more than one across locations), want a choice of devices, or want ICD-10 and CPT coding generated as part of the note. And because Doctora works with Eyefinity too, you can adopt it now without waiting on a rollout.
Frequently asked questions
- Is EncompassScribe available yet?
- As of June 2026, EncompassScribe is in beta — Eyefinity is enrolling practices through an "Early Advantage" program and refining the product with trial users, with general availability targeted for summer 2026. Doctora is available in production today, so practices that want an AI scribe now can start immediately rather than waiting for a rollout.
- What technology powers EncompassScribe?
- Eyefinity has not publicly disclosed the underlying AI technology behind EncompassScribe or named a third-party AI vendor. The company describes it as built into the Eyefinity Encompass EHR, trained on optometric language libraries developed by practicing eye care professionals, and processing recordings on-device rather than sending patient audio to a third party.
- Does EncompassScribe work with other EHRs?
- No. EncompassScribe is built into the Eyefinity Encompass EHR and works only inside that platform. Doctora is EHR-agnostic and works across RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, EyeCloudPro, CrystalPM, and OfficeMate, so the same scribe follows your practice even if you change or run more than one EHR.
- Does EncompassScribe generate ICD-10 and CPT codes?
- According to Eyefinity, EncompassScribe suggests billing codes for the doctor to review; its product materials do not specifically state that it generates ICD-10 diagnosis codes or CPT/E&M codes. Doctora generates both ICD-10 and CPT codes from the documented encounter and links each charge to the diagnosis that supports it.
- What is the best EncompassScribe alternative?
- Doctora is the leading alternative for eye care practices that want an AI scribe they can use today, on the EHR they already run. Doctora captures the entire encounter — history and chief complaint through assessment and plan — generates ICD-10 and CPT codes, and works across the major optometry EHRs rather than a single platform.
- Does Doctora require an iPad or iPhone?
- No. EncompassScribe runs on iPad and iPhone. Doctora gives you a choice: chart on your computer, use the iPhone/iPad app, or capture hands-free with a pocket-sized recording device.
- Does Doctora work with Eyefinity?
- Yes. Doctora works with Eyefinity and the other leading optometry EHRs. You keep your current EHR and add Doctora on top — the structured exam flows into your chart fields, and you review and approve before it is saved.
