How to Choose a Veterinary Clinical Documentation Tool

Vetinuity records the exam, writes the SOAP note, and hands you clinical insights backed by journal citations, not a guess dressed up as a differential. It translates the visit live, both directions, while you and the client are standing in the room together. Its rounds board updates itself from what you record and photograph in the exam room, including lab sheets, hands-free intake for a full afternoon of hospitalized cases. It's $99 a month, no tiers, and you get 14 days free to run it on real appointments before you decide.

I built it because I was the vet standing in the room needing it. I still work ER shifts in Phoenix, and Vetinuity runs on my phone during them.

Translation. Two things get called "translation" in this market, and they're not the same thing. Most tools that advertise multiple languages mean the note comes out in that language after the visit, the client still didn't understand you during the exam. Vetinuity translates live, both directions, in real time, while you're both in the room, across 78 languages, a Spanish-speaking client, a Vietnamese-speaking client, whoever walks in. It's been running since July 2026. You don't need to know what language they speak. Vetinuity detects it, you talk back and forth the way you normally would, and it writes the note from that conversation. Discharge instructions translate into the client's language too (full list on the translation page). ScribbleVet by Instinct documents generating notes and client summaries in English, Spanish, French, and others, which is note translation, not live conversation.¹ VetRec and CoVet don't publish translation of any kind on their sites as of this check.

Clinical decision support. Vetinuity's clinical insights link to the journal articles behind each suggestion, so you can check the source instead of taking a black box's word for it. VetRec's D.A.V.I.D. agent returns a differentials list without linking to where it came from.² Neither ScribbleVet nor CoVet documents clinical decision support on their sites.

Rounds. If you're managing more than one hospitalized patient at a shift change, Vetinuity's rounds board feeds off what happens in the exam room. Record a case, snap a photo of a lab sheet, and that data gets pulled out and the board updates itself, no retyping. Intake is hands-free, with an individual board for each doctor. VetRec has a Case Board.³ CoVet supports multiple patients with distinct records.⁴ ScribbleVet doesn't publish multi-patient rounds tooling.

Getting it into your day. Vetinuity works alongside whatever practice management system you already run. There's nothing to install in your record system and no integration project before your first shift. The note comes out in your format and pastes into the record with its formatting intact. Vetinuity also has a direct Provet Cloud integration, set up per clinic, and runs on Android as well as the web. Security-wise, SOC 2 is in process.

A scribe that only writes the note gets you halfway. Vetinuity talks to the client, cites the source, does the math, and updates the rounds board, all from the same visit.
