kiroku

Kiroku (Kiroku Ltd) is a London-registered software company that automates clinical record keeping for dental professionals. Its core product converts a clinician's speech — either recorded live during an appointment via a "Co-Pilot" mode or dictated as a summary afterwards — into structured dental notes that follow the practitioner's own template. Where no template exists, a "Freestyle" mode generates structured notes from unstructured speech. Clinicians without a microphone can instead click through templates to assemble notes, a workflow the company says thousands of dentists use daily. The site states notes are produced 60% faster than conventional/static-template note taking.

The platform ships with a library of pre-made templates (the homepage cites 80+, the FAQ cites 50+) covering appointment types such as basic exam, child exam, filling, periodontal treatment and emergency. Templates are fully customisable; users can paste in existing templates for automatic AI conversion or upload files for the company's clinical team to convert, free of charge. Additional modules include Kiroku Docs (letters, patient reports, referral letters, and e-consent forms sent for e-signature, exportable as Word or PDF), automated compliance audits, AI-led prompting that adds follow-up actions (for example smoking advice for a smoker), and an AI editor. Product lines listed on the site include Kiroku Docs, Kiroku Practice, Kiroku AI and a New Grads offering.

Kiroku runs in the browser with no installation required. A Chrome extension displays Kiroku side by side with cloud practice-management records and inserts notes into Aerona, Dentally and Dental4Web with one click; for other systems users copy and paste. On security, the company states it uses end-to-end encryption, stores written transcripts but never audio (audio is transcribed in real time and deleted), does not share data without consent and does not allow data to be used to train third-party AI.

Founding story

Kiroku was created in 2017 by dentist Dr Hannah Burrow (GDC 251928) and machine-learning engineer Jay Shah, who met on the Entrepreneur First programme and went from friends to co-founders. The company describes its origin as the stress of writing endless dental notes instead of treating patients. The name "Kiroku" is a Japanese word meaning to record, document or show a result.
