What Medical Transcription Corporation does

Medical Transcription Corporation (MTC), founded in 1992 and headquartered in Woburn, Massachusetts, is a privately held medical transcription service provider that has grown into New England's largest such firm. The company serves a healthcare-only customer base spanning teaching and research hospitals, radiology centers, pathology laboratories, and physician practices, delivering traditional transcription, speech recognition editing, and real-time online transcription services using exclusively U.S.-based transcriptionists and editors.

The technology stack centers on two delivery models: a real-time online transcription service in which MTC staff dial directly into a facility's HIM system over secure networks, and a transcription platform that interfaces with 18+ existing health information systems including Cerner, Meditech, McKesson, Nuance Dictaphone Power Scribe, M-Modal/ChartNet, eScription, Imagecast, and RISynergy. Speech recognition is delivered as a blended service combining third-party engines (notably Nuance Communications, implemented in 2004) with human editing, supported by multi-layered security infrastructure including VPNs, encryption, and firewalls, and an internal HIPAA compliance task force.

MTC's business model is service-based recurring revenue from healthcare transcription contracts, supplemented by technology evaluation consulting. The company sells directly to enterprise healthcare organizations through account managers and indirectly through a B2B partner channel spanning RIS/PIS vendors, HIM ASPs, medical consulting firms, and practice management firms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company offers free confidential needs analysis as a lead-generation tool. MTC emphasizes organic growth, private ownership, and consistent profitability, explicitly stating it is not driven by venture capital or Wall Street analyst expectations.

Products and services

• Real-Time Online Transcription Remote transcription service where MTC transcriptionists dial directly into a facility's health information management (HIM) system over a secure network to access dictated voice files. Reports are transcribed and saved directly into the HIM system without information ever leaving the facility's premises. Designed for facilities requiring extremely short turnaround times (e.g., 1 hour), such as radiology centers.
• MTC Transcription Platform Comprehensive transcription platform that interfaces with existing health, radiology, or pathology information systems. Transcriptionists access dictated files from the facility's dictation storage system or MTC-provided dictation system, transcribe in a secure offline environment, and upload custom-formatted files back into the HIM system for printing, faxing, or final retrieval. Supports integration with 18+ platforms including Cerner, Meditech, McKesson, and Nuance Dictaphone products.
• Speech Recognition Solutions U.S.-based transcription and editing staff available for traditional transcription, speech recognition, or a blend of both. MTC can work with a customer's existing third-party speech recognition solution or provide an integrated speech recognition solution using Nuance Communications technology.
• Traditional Medical Transcription Core transcription service where experienced transcriptionists convert physician-dictated audio recordings into text documents. Supports multiple medical specialties including medical records, pathology, radiology, emergency medicine, medical specialties, psychiatry, and outpatient clinics.
• Editing Services Skilled editing staff review and correct speech recognition output to ensure 100% accuracy. MTC employs U.S.-based editors with expertise in various medical specialties including cardiology.
