Overview

What is Medical Transcription?

Medical transcription outsourcing involves converting clinical audio dictation into accurate, formatted text documents — discharge summaries, clinic letters, operative notes, and radiology reports. Treba's transcribers in Nairobi include MBChB-qualified doctors who understand pharmacology, anatomy, and clinical terminology, correcting the errors that AI speech-to-text consistently produces in medical contexts.

The challenge

Why UK companies struggle with medical transcription.

AI speech-to-text has improved dramatically but still fails on the content that matters most in clinical contexts: drug names, anatomical terms, abbreviations, and multi-speaker dictation with accented English. An AI transcription that renders 'aortic regurgitation' as 'aortic regularisation' isn't a typo — it's a misdiagnosis waiting to happen. UK transcription agencies charge £1.50+ per audio minute for medical-grade accuracy, and turnaround times stretch to 48–72 hours during busy periods. Hiring in-house transcriptionists costs £26,000–£30,000 loaded, and they still need clinical knowledge to handle specialist terminology. Meanwhile, your clinicians are spending 20 minutes per patient correcting auto-generated transcripts — time that should be spent on patient care.

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.
