In this era of global communication,

transcription is strongly emerging as a lucrative service industry. Transcription, in oversimplified

terms means the conversion of an audio to text. However simplified this may sound, ensuring a high quality transcription service is not as simple and easy.

Transcription is becoming an integral part of all businesses. Most industries – Medical, Legal, Pharmaceutical, Marketing, E-commerce etc. involve high level conferences, technical discussions, seminars, business meetings etc. that are recorded while a speaker is presenting or a discussion is going on. Transcription of this recording into a readable text file is a need of the hour. Through this documentation, complete details of the conference / meeting can be looked

at and the minutest points can be scrolled through easily.

Now that the need of transcription services has become imperative, it is easy to gauge the relevance of transcription in the medical industry. Generally known as Medical transcription, this specialized form of transcription requires a specific knowledge on the part of the transcriptionist. A medical transcriptionist must have an in-depth knowledge of the medical industry, should be aware of the key terminologies, and should have a general understanding of the domain. An understanding and knowledge of the industry helps the transcriptionist recognize the key terms while listening to an audio and as such he/she can create a

high quality transcript.

Thanks to high quality medical transcription services, doctors in one part of the world can easily read and

understand what was spoken by a veteran doctor in a medical conference that has happened at some other part of the world. Besides, reading a transcript also eliminates any understanding problems associated with dialect. Also, given the maturing translation industry, the transcript can easily be translated into multiple languages and can be read by

medical personnel of different cultures and ethnicities.

He/she must be a professional with rich transcription experience. Once transcribed, the transcript must be reviewed by another medical transcriptionist so that any errors can be removed. A thorough quality check ensures a medical transcript with over 99% accuracy.
