T-Pro, the global leader in speech and AI technology for healthcare, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Sound Business Systems Limited (SBS), a trusted provider of medical transcription and documentation services across New Zealand and Australia. With this strategic acquisition, SBS becomes part of the T-Pro Group, reinforcing T-Pro’s commitment to delivering transformative digital technology tools to healthcare providers globally.
Marking its third acquisition in the region, T-Pro’s integration of SBS in 2025 follows the successful additions of Melbourne-based Syberscribe in 2022 and NTS Transcriptions in 2023, further reinforcing its presence across Australia, New Zealand, and the wider APAC region.
This strategic move expands access to T-Pro’s end-to-end, AI-powered clinical documentation platform—trusted by healthcare systems across the globe—bringing advanced capabilities such as AI scribe, digital dictation, and speech recognition to SBS’s established client base. While SBS’s daily operations will remain unchanged, its customers can now benefit from a broader suite of innovative tools designed to boost clinician productivity, alleviate burnout, and enhance patient outcomes.

● Ambient Scribe – Automatically generating clinical notes in real-time.
● Digital Dictation – Enabling mobile-first, AI-enhanced documentation.
● Speech Recognition – Continuously improving workflows through machine learning.

Jonathan Larbey, CEO at T-Pro, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome Sound Business Systems to the team.
