vScription
🇨🇦 For Canadian Healthcare

Medical transcription that
stays in Canada.

Every byte of audio, transcript, and summary data processed exclusively in Canadian data centers. No cross-border processing. PIPEDA-friendly, provincial-residency-aware, built by a 25-year Canadian voice-technology company.

Why It Matters

Data residency isn't optional anymore.

For Canadian healthcare providers, where patient data physically sits is a legal, contractual, and reputational concern — not a nice-to-have.

Provincial regulators

Ontario's IPC, Alberta's OIPC, and other provincial commissioners increasingly scrutinize cross-border patient data flows.

Vendor reviews & PIAs

Most hospital privacy officers require a completed Privacy Impact Assessment. Cross-border SaaS usually triggers extra clauses or rejection.

PIPEDA obligations

Federal privacy law around transferring PHI outside Canada requires consent, notification, and equivalent protection — hard to guarantee with US SaaS.

The Canadian Pipeline

Canadian from end to end.

The vScription Canadian Pipeline keeps every stage of transcription inside Canada.

Speech-to-text

Runs in dedicated Canadian cloud infrastructure. No US-hosted speech recognition services.

Summarization

Canadian-hosted LLM inference only. Explicitly routed through Canadian data centers — no cross-border calls.

Storage

Encrypted-at-rest object storage in Canada. Platform-level filesystem encryption layered on top.

Telephone dictation (coming soon)

When available, telephone dictation will run entirely on our Canadian servers. Audio will never touch third-party US telephony providers.

Backups

Regular automatic backups, stored exclusively in Canada.

Audit logs

Compliance audit trail stored with the same data — no third-party logging services.

Pipeline activity audit

Every step of processing — upload, speech-to-text, summarization, storage — logged with the Canadian server that handled it. Residency verifiable after the fact.

Compliance Posture

HIPAA-aware and PIPEDA-friendly.

vScription was designed with both US HIPAA and Canadian PIPEDA obligations in mind. If your organization is running a Privacy Impact Assessment or vendor review, our team will walk through our security and Canadian residency posture with you — and can share a security overview tailored to your review.
