Between patients, most clinicians face the same choice: type up the note themselves, dictate into a recorder and transcribe it later, or hand it off to a transcription service and wait. Transkio shortens the last option — dictate a consultation note, case summary, or referral letter, upload the recording, and get back editable text in minutes.
It's the same general-purpose transcription engine used across the rest of Transkio for interviews, meetings, and lectures — not a specialized medical model, and not a substitute for your own review. Every transcript opens in an editor before it goes anywhere, so you read it, correct anything that needs correcting, and decide what's accurate before it's filed.
Dictation is fast. Writing it up afterward is not.
Talking through a patient encounter takes a couple of minutes. Typing that same note — full sentences, correct drug names and dosages, proper formatting for the chart — takes considerably longer, and it's the kind of task that piles up at the end of a clinic day rather than getting done between patients.
Generic dictation software and consumer voice-to-text tools weren't built for this either: they hand back a wall of unpunctuated text with no speaker separation and no easy way to fix a misheard term before it ends up in a referral letter.
How Transkio turns dictation into an editable note
Record or upload the dictation — from a handheld recorder, a phone, or straight from your browser — and Transkio transcribes it with punctuation and paragraph breaks already in place. As a general-purpose speech-recognition engine, it handles clearly spoken drug names, dosages, and anatomical terms reasonably well, though as with any dictation tool, an unfamiliar term or a mumbled dosage can still come through wrong.
The transcript opens in an editor before you do anything else with it: click a line to hear that moment again, correct a name or number, and export the finished note as TXT, SRT, VTT — or as a DOCX file, ready to drop into the patient record, on the Pro plan and up.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Transkio with medical terminology like drug names and dosages?
It uses the same general-purpose transcription engine as the rest of Transkio — not a model trained specifically on medical vocabulary — so clearly spoken drug names, dosages, and anatomical terms are usually transcribed reasonably well, but an unfamiliar term, an accent, or background noise can still cause a mistake. Every transcript opens in an editor precisely so you can check it against what you actually said before it goes in the chart.
Is there a specialized medical transcription mode?
No. Transkio doesn't have a medical-specific AI model, a dedicated medical mode, or a human medical transcriptionist reviewing your files — it's the same transcription product used for interviews, meetings, and every other use case on the site. Treat the output as a strong first draft you review, not a finished clinical document.
Is Transkio HIPAA-compliant, and can I use it for patient information?
Transkio has not obtained HIPAA certification, does not offer a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA), and has not obtained SOC 2, ISO 27001, or any other compliance certification. If your practice has specific compliance requirements around patient-identifying information, check that Transkio meets them before uploading anything containing PHI. Uploads are sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and your files and transcripts are private to your account — only you can access them, and you can delete them at any time — but that is not the same as a certified or contractually covered compliance program.
Can I export the note as a Word document for the patient record?
Yes. Free-plan exports are TXT, SRT, VTT; DOCX, along with JSON with timestamps and speaker labels, is available on the Pro plan and up, so you can drop the finished note straight into your record system.
Does it separate speakers if someone else is in the room?
Yes, on Elite and up — useful for a consultation where the patient or a family member speaks too, or for a case conference with multiple clinicians. Below that tier, everything is transcribed as one continuous stream.
How long does a dictation take to come back as text?
Most consultation-length dictations come back in a few minutes. You get 60 trial minutes to test it with no card required, then 30 minutes every month on the free plan, with files up to 100MB.
