Doctora vs RevolutionEHR AI Scribe
RevolutionEHR's built-in AI Scribe fills a published list of exam screens inside RevolutionEHR. Doctora documents the entire encounter — history through plan, plus ICD-10 and CPT codes — and works across every major optometry EHR. Here's an honest, up-to-date comparison.
The short answer
Doctora and RevolutionEHR's AI Scribe both use ambient voice capture with provider review. The difference is scope and reach. RevolutionEHR's scribe populates a published list of exam and test screens — plus reason for visit and review of systems — inside RevolutionEHR only, and its published list does not include the assessment, the plan, or coding. Doctora captures the whole encounter, generates ICD-10 and CPT codes with each charge linked to its diagnosis, and works with RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, EyeCloudPro, CrystalPM, and OfficeMate.

What is RevolutionEHR's AI Scribe?
In April 2026, RevolutionEHR launched a built-in AI Scribe, included at no extra cost for practices on the RevolutionEHR exam module. According to RevolutionEHR, it uses ambient voice capture to turn spoken findings into structured data that populates a published, growing list of exam and test screens — such as visual acuity, slit lamp, fundus, optic nerve, refraction with prism, intraocular pressure, visual fields, motility, pupils, accommodation, color vision, stereo, and cover test — plus reason for visit and review of systems, with screen-by-screen provider review.
It runs entirely inside the RevolutionEHR encounter workflow. Its published list does not include the assessment, the plan or impressions, or diagnosis and procedure coding.
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.
Unlike a scribe that lives inside one platform, Doctora is EHR-agnostic. The same scribe works whether your practice runs on RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, EyeCloudPro, CrystalPM, or OfficeMate — and it documents far more than the test screens, all the way through ICD-10 and CPT coding.

A test-screen scribe fills in part of the chart. Doctora structures the whole visit — more than 100 discrete, optometry-specific fields, recorded per eye — and then generates the coding to match.
Background & history
Ocular and medical history, medications, allergies, family history, and review of systems.
Chief complaint & HPI
The patient's reason for the visit and a structured history of present illness.
Entrance testing & visual acuity
Aided and unaided distance and near acuity, recorded per eye.
Pupils, motility & alignment
Pupil testing, extraocular motility, cover test, and confrontation fields.
Refraction
Final spherocylindrical refraction, add, and best-corrected acuity per eye.
Tonometry (IOP)
Intraocular pressure readings with method and timing, per eye.
Slit lamp / anterior segment
Lids, lashes, conjunctiva, cornea, anterior chamber, iris, and lens findings.
Posterior segment / fundus
Vitreous, optic nerve and cup-to-disc, macula, vessels, and periphery.
Special testing
Imaging and ancillary testing such as OCT and visual fields, with results.
Assessment
A structured assessment tied to the findings documented in the exam.
Plan & patient education
The plan for each diagnosis, including follow-up and recommendations.
ICD-10 + CPT codes
Diagnosis and procedure codes generated from the visit, with each charge linked to its supporting diagnosis.
Built for optometry — from day one, by optometrists
Doctora wasn't adapted from another specialty or layered onto a multi-specialty platform. It was built from day one for optometry, by optometrists — Doctora is 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.
RevolutionEHR's AI Scribe comes from PracticeTek, a private-equity-backed company that builds software across chiropractic, vision, dental, and wellness — the same parent behind chiropractic-software maker ChiroTouch, whose “Rheo” AI assistant launched for chiropractors in August 2025, months before RevolutionEHR brought AI Scribe to optometry in April 2026. Doctora's only specialty is yours.
Capture the visit however you work
RevolutionEHR's scribe runs inside RevolutionEHR. Doctora meets you wherever you chart: on your computer, with the iPhone/iPad app, or with a pocket-sized recording device for hands-free exam rooms. The structured exam ends up in the same place either way — your EHR's real chart fields, ready for your review.
One scribe for the whole visit — so you barely touch the EHR
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, no clicking field to field. RevolutionEHR's scribe gives you a faster way to fill the test screens; Doctora gives you the finished, coded chart.
When RevolutionEHR's AI Scribe might be the right fit
If your practice is fully committed to RevolutionEHR, you mainly want your exam and test screens filled in faster, and a free, zero-setup option bundled with your EHR is the priority, the built-in AI Scribe is a convenient starting point with nothing new to install.
Practices tend to reach for Doctora when they want the whole encounter documented — assessment and plan included — plus ICD-10 and CPT coding, or when they run more than one EHR across locations and want one consistent scribe everywhere. Doctora also works alongside RevolutionEHR, so it isn't an either/or decision.
Frequently asked questions
- What does RevolutionEHR’s AI Scribe actually document?
- According to RevolutionEHR, its AI Scribe uses ambient voice capture to populate a published, growing list of exam and test screens — including visual acuity, slit lamp, fundus, optic nerve, final refraction with prism, intraocular pressure, visual fields, motility, pupils, accommodation, color vision, stereo, and cover test — along with reason for visit and review of systems. That published list does not include the assessment, the plan/impressions, or diagnosis and procedure coding.
- Is RevolutionEHR’s AI Scribe the same as Rheo?
- No. Rheo is the AI assistant from ChiroTouch, the chiropractic-software brand owned by RevolutionEHR's parent company, PracticeTek. RevolutionEHR's optometry product is called simply "AI Scribe." Both come from PracticeTek, which builds software across chiropractic, vision, dental, and wellness. ChiroTouch introduced Rheo for chiropractors in August 2025; RevolutionEHR launched AI Scribe for optometry in April 2026.
- Does RevolutionEHR’s AI Scribe generate ICD-10 or CPT codes?
- RevolutionEHR's published materials describe its AI Scribe as populating structured exam and test fields; they do not state that it generates ICD-10 diagnosis codes or CPT procedure 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 alternative to RevolutionEHR’s AI Scribe?
- Doctora is the leading alternative for practices that want more than test-screen documentation. Doctora captures the entire optometric encounter — history and chief complaint through assessment and plan — generates ICD-10 and CPT codes, and works across RevolutionEHR, Eyefinity, EyeCloudPro, CrystalPM, and OfficeMate, so your scribe is not locked to one platform.
- Does Doctora work with RevolutionEHR?
- Yes. Doctora works with RevolutionEHR and the other leading optometry EHRs. You keep your current EHR and add Doctora on top — the structured exam flows into the chart fields your staff already use, and you review and approve before it is saved.
- How is Doctora different from RevolutionEHR’s built-in scribe?
- Two ways. First, scope: Doctora documents the whole encounter and adds ICD-10 and CPT coding, while RevolutionEHR’s scribe populates a published list of exam and test screens. Second, reach: Doctora is EHR-agnostic and works across multiple optometry EHRs, while RevolutionEHR’s scribe works only inside RevolutionEHR.
- Is Doctora HIPAA compliant?
- Yes. Doctora is HIPAA compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with your practice.
