What do I actually get after a visit in each tool?

Othisis: a draft note + supporting transcript/summary context with traceability for verification, plus additional visit-related documents (e.g., referral/insurance/patient-facing letters depending on workflow). OrbDoc (OrbVoice): SOAP notes and discharge summaries generated from the recorded conversation.

How do I verify something I’m unsure about in the draft?

Othisis: you can jump from a note statement back to the source conversation context (built for fast spot-checking). OrbDoc: verification is typically by reading the draft and/or transcript (not positioned around source-linked traceability).

Which one is better if my visits depend on PDFs/prior records?

Othisis. It’s designed for record-heavy prep (PDF/record ingestion + summarization/indexing for pre-visit review). OrbDoc’s public positioning is primarily encounter capture → note output, not PDF indexing.

What should I choose if I only want one simple thing?

If you want SOAP + discharge summaries fast, pick OrbDoc. If you want defensible review (verify quickly + keep accountable edits), pick Othisis.
