The idea was to pay typists on an outsourced basis to take transcripts dictated by busy doctors in hospitals and turn them into complete, error-free letters and reports. So in 2016, T-Pro reinvested all its revenues into the construction of its own cloud-based software, which would use artificial intelligence to improve the quality of its speech and language technologies, and cut down on the amount of human involvement necessary to produce finalised documents.
Technology, Larbey said, had “supercharged” T-Pro to the point where it had now become a global dictation software provider, with offices in India and a soon-to-be-announced acquisition in Australia.
