What we do
We split the role properly because scribing and transcription are two different jobs, and you might need one, the other, or both.

AI can type fast. It can’t tell a “15” from a “50,” catch a mumbled drug name, or know that your GP always says “unremarkable” instead of “normal.” That gap is where patients get hurt, and practices get sued, so we don’t leave clinical documentation to a machine that’s guessing.
Different specialties need different ears. Here’s where our medical transcription outsourcing goes deep:
A dedicated offshore medical scribe or medical transcriptionist through Outsourcey runs $6–$11 USD per hour, or from roughly $1,040 USD/month full-time, including salary, HIPAA training, benefits, payroll, HR and equipment. Compare that to a US-based medical scribe at $35,000–45,000/year, or per-line transcription services charging $0.07–$0.15 line, which adds up embarrassingly fast once you're at real volume.
A dedicated scribe beats per-line pricing outright and gives you consistency and real-time capability a per-line service simply can't. Do the maths once, and you won't go back.
No setup fees. No lock-in contracts. And if you find it cheaper elsewhere, we'll beat it.
AI transcription tools are fast, cheap, and fine for clean, simple dictation. But medical records don't run on "fine." They run on exact.
| Compare | AI transcription | Human scribe/transcriptionist |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Instant | Fast, human-paced |
| Cost | Cheapest | Higher, but accurate |
| Accuracy on clean dictation | High | High |
| Accents, cross-talk, background noise | Struggles | Handles it |
| Drug names & specialist terms | Error-prone | Reliable |
| Clinical context & judgement | None | Yes |
| Liability if it gets it wrong | Yours | Reduced — human QA in the loop |
Use AI alone for the low-stakes, clean-dictation stuff. For anything where a mistake touches a patient, you want a human in the loop. Our scribes and transcriptionists use AI to move faster, then apply the accuracy and context a real chart demands. Best of both, none of the risk.
Yes. Every Outsourcey scribe and transcriptionist is HIPAA-trained before they ever touch a record, works under a signed Business Associate Agreement, and documents inside your EHR under the access controls you set.
You've seen the numbers, you've seen the comparison, you know where this is going. Get a = scribe from a medical transcription company who knows the difference between a "b" and a "p" drug name. Live in two weeks, no lock-in, no setup fees.

For clean, simple dictation, AI is fast and helpful. But it still trips up on accents, cross-talk, drug names and clinical nuance, and in a medical record, an error is a patient-safety and liability event. Our scribes and transcriptionists use AI to work faster, then apply the human accuracy a clinical note actually demands.
