medical transcription

Converting doctor dictation

Medical transcription is the process of converting voice-recorded medical reports into written text.

Doctors dictate notes about patient encounters, procedures, and diagnoses; transcriptionists listen and type them into formal documents for medical records.

The field has declined as speech recognition software has improved, though human review remains common for accuracy.
