Checked 15 October 2026. Abridge, Suki and Tortus are also well-known AI scribes, but we found no UAE presence or Arabic support for them, so they are not included.
Heidi is the most established AI scribe now active in the UAE, and it is a strong product. Here is an honest view of how the two differ.
The best test is a side-by-side pilot in your own clinic. Book a Neurula Scribe pilot and run both for a week.
It depends on your language mix, EMR and data requirements. Heidi Health offers a free tier and broad language coverage and opened a Dubai office in 2026. Neurula Scribe, built by an Abu Dhabi team, autofills any browser-based EMR field by field and stores no patient data after the session. Pilot your shortlist with real consultations.
Neurula Scribe, Heidi Health, Nabla (Egyptian, Lebanese, Moroccan and Saudi Arabic) and Sahl AI (Arabic–English) all state Arabic support. Test dialects and code-switching with your own patients.
No. Neurula Scribe is stateless: no audio, transcript or note is stored on Neurula servers after the session ends.
Any EMR that runs in a web browser. Neurula Scribe is a Chrome extension that fills the open EMR form for clinician review, with no integration project required.
Pricing is quoted per clinic based on the number of clinicians. Book a pilot to try it in real consultations first.
Run Neurula Scribe in real consultations for a week — setup takes about five minutes per laptop.
