Medical education and research

Medical transcription for lectures, talks and research

Transcribe medical lectures, continuing education (CME), conference talks, medical podcasts and de-identified research interviews. Speaker labels, timestamps, chapters, summaries and cited Q&A come with every plan.

Not for patient data today

We do not sign business associate agreements (BAAs). Do not upload or link recordings that contain protected health information (see Terms of Service, Section 5.8).

We are exploring a BAA-backed option for Enterprise. If your organization needs one, join the list or book a call and we will tell you if and when it is available.

What medical transcription here is good for

Recordings about medicine, not recordings of patients.

  • Medical lectures and CME

    Turn lectures and continuing education sessions into searchable transcripts with chapters, so you can find a topic without rewatching.

  • Conference talks and grand rounds

    Conference sessions and grand rounds recordings that contain no patient details, with speaker labels for panels and Q&A.

  • Medical podcasts and health content

    Show notes, chapters and subtitles for medical podcasts, explainer videos and other health content you publish.

  • De-identified research interviews

    Interviews with clinicians or researchers, and study interviews that are de-identified before upload, with cited answers that point to the exact moment.

Frequently asked questions

Is transcribe.so HIPAA compliant?

No, not today. We do not sign business associate agreements (BAAs) on any plan, including Enterprise, and the service is not for protected health information (Terms of Service, Section 5.8). Do not upload or link recordings that contain patient data. We are exploring a BAA-backed option for Enterprise; if your organization needs one, join the list on this page or book a call and we will tell you if and when it is available.

Can I transcribe medical lectures?

Yes. Medical lectures, continuing education (CME) sessions, conference talks and grand rounds recordings without patient details are a good fit. You get speaker labels, sentence timestamps, chapters, summaries and cited Q&A on every plan.

Does it handle medical terminology?

Every file runs on our standard speech recognition engine, which is not tuned for medical vocabulary, so drug names, rare terms and abbreviations can be misheard. Review specialist terms against the recording: click any line to jump playback to that moment.

How is my data handled?

Content is encrypted in transit and at rest and never sold, and we do not use it to train AI models unless you opt in. You can delete a recording or your whole account at any time. The Privacy Policy describes what each provider receives and how long it keeps it.
