Frequently asked questions

TScribe (Tamela Scribe) is a clinical documentation assistant designed for radiologists and sonographers. It converts spoken clinical dictation into structured, validated medical reports in seconds, reducing the time clinicians spend on documentation and returning that time to patient care.
TScribe is primarily designed for radiologists and sonographers in Nigeria and across Africa. It is also useful for any clinician who dictates findings or needs to capture structured data quickly, including clinicians running outreach campaigns, triage staff, and healthcare researchers.

No. We do not retain patient information or final reports on our servers. Audio is processed in transit and discarded immediately after the report is generated. The finished report lives with you, in your existing systems, clipboard, or chosen destination.

This architecture is intentional. We built TScribe so that the most sensitive data in the workflow, patient identifiers and clinical findings, never persists on our infrastructure.

All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher. Audio is processed and immediately discarded. We do not build profiles from clinical content, we do not sell data, and we do not use patient-identifiable information to train models. Our approach aligns with NDPR (Nigeria Data Protection Regulation) principles.

Report Mode is for long-form clinical documentation. You dictate your findings naturally and TScribe produces a complete, structured report ready for your review and sign-off.

Form Mode is for structured data capture. You speak and the fields on a predefined form populate in real time. Ideal for intake forms, blood donation screening, vaccination drives, and research data collection.

Yes. TScribe supports custom template authoring. You can define your own report structure, headings, field names, and required sections. You can also start from the built-in template library and adapt existing templates to your preferences.
TScribe is designed for zero-integration workflows. The finished report is available for one-click copy to your clipboard. You paste it into any EMR, HIS, Word document, or reporting system without involving your IT team or signing API agreements with your EMR vendor.
TScribe currently supports English, including Nigerian English accents. We are actively working to improve accuracy for local accent patterns and expanding language support. If you experience accuracy issues with your accent, contact us and we will use that feedback to improve the system.
Yes. TScribe is a mobile-first application but is accessible across devices including tablets and laptops. The interface adapts to screen size. For best results on shared devices in outreach settings, a tablet with a microphone works well.
AI transcription and report generation require a connection for processing. In Form Mode, audio can be queued locally when the connection is unavailable and processed once connectivity is restored. We continue to work on reducing connectivity requirements for environments with unreliable networks.
The clinician is always responsible for the final report. TScribe produces a draft. The clinician reviews, edits if needed, and signs off before the report is used clinically. TScribe highlights critical fields specifically to support this review step. The human stays in the loop, every time.
TScribe is a documentation productivity tool, not a diagnostic medical device. It does not make clinical decisions, generate diagnoses, or interpret images. It transcribes and structures what a qualified clinician dictates. The clinician provides the clinical judgement; TScribe handles the formatting.
TScribe is headquartered in Nigeria. We built the product here, and we work primarily with clinicians in Nigeria and across Africa.
Tamela is a technology company that builds practical software for African professionals. TScribe is a subsidiary of Tamela, built as a focused product for the clinical documentation challenge. Tamela provides the infrastructure, expertise, and investment that allows TScribe to focus entirely on the needs of clinicians.
