Every month I add up the Google visits to the 13 AI medical scribe sites I track (DataForSEO estimates) and how often people in the US search for them by name (Google Ads). In October 2026 they got about 332,174 visits. Much of the year’s change is one site, Dragon Speech; without it, visits are up 11% on a year ago.

The total hides very different stories: one site grew 180% in a year while another lost 74% of its visits. See who grew and who shrank, the visits month by month and the name searches, plus what I expect for November 2026.

Miles explains

Visits are lower than a year ago and lower than in September 2026, so the fall is still going. Name searches (-4%) and Google Trends interest in the term (-67%) fell too, so people are less interested, not just finding these sites less often.

2.Are people searching for AI medical scribe sites by name?

Down 4% on October 2025; 112K name searches a month in the US

Fewer than before. People in the US searched Google for the names of the counted AI medical scribe sites 112,180 times in September 2026, 4% fewer searches than in October 2025. Someone who searches a site’s name already knows it, so this is the clearest sign of people coming back on purpose. The term “ai medical scribe” itself gets about 5,400 US searches a month (Google Ads, 12-month average).

Miles explains

Name searches are down, so fewer people are coming back on purpose. Better Google rankings will not fix that.

3.Which AI medical scribe sites grew, and which shrank?

The five most-visited sites hold 87.8% of all visits; the ten most-visited hold 98.9%
