Transcribing audio from speeches, meetings, or interviews into text with little technical jargon is known as general transcription.
On the other hand, Medical Transcription handles extremely specialised medical reports, such as lab results, operative notes, and patient histories. Strict formatting guidelines, a thorough understanding of medical terminology, and compliance with confidentiality laws like HIPAA in the US are all necessary.
