Market Overview:
Medical transcription refers to generating text records of patient encounters from audio dictation. Medical transcription services play a critical role in converting physicians' dictated notes into electronic health records. Medical transcription enables healthcare providers to focus on patient care while ensuring accurate medical documentation.

Market key trends:
One of the key trends fueling the growth of the medical transcription services market is increased outsourcing of medical transcription services.

As healthcare costs continue to rise, outsourcing of non-core activities like medical transcription helps providers reduce costs and improve efficiency. This trend is expected to continue driving increased demand for medical transcription services over the forecast period.
