Transcription in simple words is the conversion of audio into text. Medical transcription is a specialized form of transcription wherein the audio/video content is related to medical domain. Obviously, as medical domain is a highly specialized domain that involves through professional knowledge, thus, medical transcription can be performed by expert medical transcribers, preferably doctors who have a strong understanding of the subject at hand.

Many companies offer professional medical transcription services, however the output quality is actually determined by the quality policy followed and the expertise of the transcriber and the reviewer. A medical transcription might be used for research, surgery or any other related purpose. Thus, a slight error can be quite dangerous.

Not only the expertise of the medical transcriber, but the audio equipment (headphones, speakers etc), play a very important role in the output quality. The voice should be heard clearly by the transcriber and he should be able to understand the accent. Any lag here could lead to misinterpretations and hence degrade the quality of transcribed text.

In a nutshell, an expert transcriber with rich domain experience can transcribe a medicine related audio/video. The transcript must then be reviewed by another professional for quality check.
