Transcription Department, Records Department


Explanation:
Just some things that came to mind. This would depend on the organization and the context.

In my studies in medical transcription, we often refer to the area in which dictated medical reports are transcribed as the transcription department.

While some hospitals' records department deal only with the filing and storage of medical reports, others include transcription of dictated medical reports.

But if you're dealing specifically with the area in which medical reports are transcribed, it would be the Transcription Department.
