Pacific Transcription has an extensive network of talented typists experienced in transcribing recordings of interviews and focus groups.
We match the most suitable typists to your specific area of research in order to deliver comprehensive and accurate transcripts.
Once you have confirmed your specific requirements with our Operations Team, all that is required of you is to upload your audio recordings from your digital recording device to your secure client account on the Pacific Transcription website.
We’ll take it from there – turning your audio files into professional transcripts which have undergone thorough quality assurance and accuracy checks – within the time frame you specify.
Do you have any specific instructions you’d like to share with us, to help with the transcription process? Specific notes and instructions (e.g. correct spelling of unusual names or terms) can be added at the time of uploading audio files by clicking the “Notes” icon after the upload is complete.
Speaker Identification is a popular option with academics who record focus groups and other larger groups with multiple speakers.
Contact us prior to recording your focus group so that we can give you tips on how to ensure that the speakers are identifiable. We encourage all our clients who choose speaker identification to keep a speaker log, which assists in the speaker identification process.
Please visit our Audio Recording Tips page or download this helpful brochure on recording tips, to find out how to record your interviews and focus groups in a way that will allow our typists to produce transcripts of the highest accuracy.
Ask us about how we accommodate your specific template requirements and tailor transcripts to your preferred formatting. We have a number of formatting options which produce transcripts compatible with qualitative analysis software such as NVivo, Leximancer and AtlasTI.
Audio can be uploaded directly from your computer or digital recorder to your individual secure online account. All Pacific Transcription typists and team members sign confidentiality agreements upon commencing employment at Pacific Transcription.
Do you have confidentiality requirements particular to your university or funding body? Pacific Transcription NZ welcomes supply of your own specific confidentiality agreement, upon mutual agreement, for signing.
If you’re an academic or researcher on a grant budget, and need to pay for transcription but haven’t conducted all your planned interviews yet, consider our prepaid transcription service. Pacific’s prepaid transcription service offers academics and researchers peace of mind that future research interviews and transcription requirements are covered.
For more information or to discuss your specific needs please contact the Pacific Transcription team.
