What this service is designed to deliver when deployed inside your workflow.
Medical Transcription Outsourcing for UK Companies.
Clinical dictation is piling up because your transcription service can't keep pace. Deploy medically qualified transcribers from Nairobi — 99.9% accuracy, 6-hour turnaround — from £9,600 per transcriber per year.

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.
Typical client

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.

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.”
