Clinical systems · AI scribe & dictation for Canadian clinics
Tali AI
Tali AI is an AI scribe and dictation tool for clinics, built mainly for Canadian EMRs such as Accuro and PS Suite, with a free plan and published monthly prices.
Strong fit
- Canadian family physicians and clinics on Accuro, PS Suite, Med Access, CHR, or other supported EMRs
- Clinicians who want dictation, an AI scribe, and clinical questions answered in one tool
- Small clinics that want a free plan and published monthly prices before they commit
Weak fit
- U.S. health systems that need enterprise Epic or Oracle Health integration
- Groups that want results data from large hospital rollouts
- Behavioral health programs that need each note checked for compliance
Bottom line
Tali AI is worth using for small clinics that want an AI scribe and dictation tool with a free plan and published monthly prices. It suits Canadian practices on EMRs such as Accuro and PS Suite. U.S. practices wanting a simple paid scribe may prefer Freed.

Tali AI is a Canadian company that makes an AI scribe and dictation tool for clinics. Clinicians use it to draft notes from the visit, fill out forms, and look up clinical guidance.
It was founded in 2020 by Mahshid Yassaei and Hesam Dadafarin, who ran the healthcare software firm Evenset. Tali began as a question-answering tool after a research project for the Public Health Agency of Canada, then added an AI scribe, dictation, form filling, and task tools.
It connects with Canadian EMRs including Accuro, PS Suite, Med Access, and CHR, and with U.S. systems including Practice Fusion and Veradigm.
Tali raised a seed round in 2023 co-led by Esplanade Ventures and TMV. Plans are published in Canadian dollars, with a free personal plan and paid monthly tiers for individual clinicians.
Compare Heidi Health when a clinic wants a larger vendor with a free plan, and Freed when a practice in the United States wants a simple paid scribe.
