    High-Quality Medical Transcription Services

    For medical transcripts to be completed accurately, efficiently and on time, our medical transcriptionists require familiarity with a vast array of medical systems, vocabulary, and medical terminology.

    Whether gained in the field or through professional qualifications, all of our certified medical transcribers are equipped with the industry knowledge required to deliver fast and accurate medical transcription projects.

    Unlike other medical transcription service providers, we never use speech recognition software – every transcription job undertaken by McGowan Transcriptions is completed by real people.

    Reliable & Secure Transcription Service

    Confidentiality and privacy are essential when dealing with sensitive information – you can rest assured that McGowan Transcriptions is fully compliant with GDPR and data protection laws.

    With this in mind, our in-house medical typists are all subject to thorough ID, nationality and immigration checks, and must sign a comprehensive confidentiality agreement before undertaking any work for McGowan Transcriptions. Where required, we are also happy to comply with your own confidentiality procedures and will sign non-disclosure agreements on a project-by-project basis.

    Our completed transcripts are uploaded using our bespoke file-upload platform, Global Lounge. This user-friendly solution has a 2GB upload capacity and a UK-based server with its own facility operator, independent infrastructure and suite of network operators, watertight backup solutions including multiple redundant 10Gbps fibre back-haul rings, and – last but not least – guaranteed 100% uptime, so it’s there when you need it.

    We have never missed a deadline! You can be secure in the knowledge your medical transcription project will arrive complete, accurate and on time.

    All deadlines and turnaround times are agreed prior to the undertaking of projects. Same-day delivery and 24-hour turnaround from our medical typists can be arranged where required.

    "Very quick response to all my emails. They showed great understanding of our personal family difficulties which led to needing a transcript of a medical recording. They were very reasonable with their price and the transcripts were produced very quickly which was very much appreciated. I will definitely use their services again if ever needed. " Carol Silcock
    "McGowan Transcriptions produced very high quality interview transcripts ahead of schedule. It was noticeable that the transcribers must have familiarised themselves with technical language and checked organisation names to produce such accurate work where recording quality was sometimes low. They were also very patient and helpful when I made a mistake with uploading my files! " Laura
    "Over and above! Very minimal effort required on our end to mobilise transcription. Really pleased by the outcome of our transcripts. Very accurate results with transcripts returned well ahead of schedule. " Harvey, GMHSCP

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Medical Transcription still in demand?

    Medical transcriptionists are still very much in demand. The work requires intense concentration from individuals with formal medical transcription training, including anatomy and physiology, medical terms and more. There is a theory that speech-recognition technology will replace actual medical transcriptionists, but that technology is often nicknamed “speech wreck” for a reason. It simply isn’t up to the standard and so cannot do the job of a medical typist.

    How long does it take to transcribe 1 hour of audio?

    For a medical transcriptionist, it takes about 4 – 6 hours to transcribe one hour’s worth of audio. This is because extra attention is needed to research the medical terms and get the spellings right. This is longer than the four hours that is the industry standard for transcribing other topics because medicine is often very complex.

    What is the difference between medical coding and medical transcription?

    A medical transcriber listens to a dictation and types what they hear into a report template. A medical coder assigns certain codes to patient charts in order to help patients submit reimbursement claims from their insurance companies. Medical coders are more common in private healthcare institutions. The two professions are very different, but sometimes confused.

    Is medical transcription easy?

    Medical transcriptionists need to demonstrate intense periods of concentration over long periods of time to get the work done. They also need extensive training, and to be familiar with medical terms and bodily physiology and anatomy. Oftentimes, you will hear words that you may not know how to spell, uttered in foreign accents and with plenty of background noise to make everything more complicated. Not everyone can do it. If all this sounds daunting, let a qualified medical transcriptionist do the hard work for you.
