Fingertips Typing Services


Medical Transcription

Medical Transcription

Fingertips provide medical transcription and have a large number of transcriptionists that have been trained in medical transcription and can produce accurate, high quality transcripts containing complicated medical terminology. We work with medical transcription companies, UK and overseas.

For our medical transcription services, UK transcriptionists will be used.  We do have a very small percentage of overseas transcribers who are covered under GDPR regulations.

There is often the situation of dealing with a number of different accents which, coupled with the varied terminology, can be challenging.  The benefits of having a large pool of transcribers available at Fingertips means we have the expertise to cover most medical practitioners accents/specialties.

No recorder?  We can help
