If you’re a researcher, you know how time-consuming data analysis can be. Each project has unique requirements, so which option best describes your needs?

Monolingual

Language A → Language A

Use monolingual transcription if you have an audio or video file and need a transcript in the same language as the one spoken in the file.

Interpretive

Language A → Language B

Use interpretive transcription if you have an audio or video file in one language and need a transcript in another language.

Double Column

Language A → Language A & B

Use double-column transcription if have an audio or video file in one language and need a transcript in the same and in another language.

When nuance and culture matter

Since qualitative research focuses on individuals, groups, and cultures, qualitative data is more difficult to record and copy compared with quantitative data. Here, nuance and culture matter. If you’re a researcher, you know how time-consuming each step of the qualitative research transcription process can be. Our transcription services can help you streamline your process, save time, and preserve the quality and usability of the original recordings.
