Physicians, therapists, nurses, and clinic administrators use medical transcription for patient notes, referral letters, discharge summaries, progress reports, and research interviews. Speechpad provides human-edited medical transcription starting at $1.30 per minute with 24-hour turnaround, with a medical formatting add-on available for $0.15 per minute.
