Overview
What is Audio Transcription (AI)?
Audio transcription outsourcing combines automated speech recognition with trained human reviewers to produce accurate, structured text from audio and video files. Treba deploys domain-specialist transcribers in Nairobi — including qualified doctors for clinical audio and trained paralegals for legal proceedings — who correct AI hallucinations, tag speakers, and format output to your specification. All work is completed inside your infrastructure via VDI, with no audio files stored locally.
Typical client
UK AI companies training speech models, healthcare providers processing clinical dictation, legal firms transcribing depositions and court recordings, and media companies requiring broadcast-ready transcripts

The challenge
Why UK companies struggle with audio transcription (ai).
Pure AI transcription still fails on accents, cross-talk, domain-specific terminology, and low-quality audio. For regulated industries — healthcare, legal, financial services — those failures create compliance risk, not just inconvenience. Fixing AI output in-house means paying UK-rate staff to do correction work that does not require UK presence. Meanwhile, transcription backlogs grow because the work is tedious, turnover is high, and agencies charge £1.50+ per audio minute for anything beyond basic dictation.

Meet Your Next Hire
“I review clinical dictation for two UK telehealth providers. When a cardiologist dictates 'aortic regurgitation' and the AI outputs 'aortic regularisation,' I catch it immediately because I studied it. That is not a typo — it is a misdiagnosis waiting to happen.”
