Academic TranscriptionIf you are looking to have your interviews professionally transcribed, you have come to the right place. I have a vast amount of experience with all sorts of academic interviews such as qualitative data research interviews, one to one interviews, focus group interviews*, ethnographic interviews, round table discussions, longitudinal studies and recorded lectures. Please note that I have returned to working in a full-time job in the field of criminal justice and so this has now become a side business for me. If you would like to use my services please ensure you book in advance to avoid disappointment, thanks so kindly. *Please note, I no longer transcribe focus groups.

I have extensive experience in transcribing research interviews, theses and dissertation interviews for university undergrad, Masters and PhD students, as well as transcripts for professors doing research. I have an undergrad degree in Social Sciences and have a real passion for studies in this area of expertise. I would estimate that 70% of the work I receive is in the field of academic transcription. I have marketed myself to try to capture this field, as I really enjoy transcribing research studies. These can be transcribed either as intelligent verbatim or strict verbatim; the choice is yours. The transcript will be provided in a completely editable Word document so that you can quickly begin your data analysis.

I understand the importance of ethics in the academic field and offer you a service with a unique selling point that I work for myself. I will be the only person to hear your audio recordings. At the end of your project, all voice recordings and transcripts will be deleted.

PsychologyI have been very lucky in that a lot of my clients are from the psychology field, and this is an area that fascinates me greatly. During my undergrad degree a large proportion of my courses were in psychology ranging from abnormal to cognitive psychology courses. I have provided transcripts for students working on their Masters and PhD degrees as well as professors conducting psychological studies and experiments. I also have several clients who are psychologists working privately. The interview topics have been vast ranging from social psychology experiments, cognitive psychology practice, mindfulness (which seems to be a topic that is now cropping up through an array of other subject matters that I have been asked to transcribe), life coaching, counselling and many other areas.

HealthcareHealthcare seems to be a field which involves a lot of research interviews as I would say at least 25% of my work comes from this area. I have had the pleasure on working on many healthcare studies which have ranged from nurses opinions on the workplace, healthcare practitioners views on training practices, patients' opinions on the NHS, hospice workers round table discussions, osteopath practitioner studies, healthcare in the prison system, surgeons views on the workplace and more.

Verbatim Transcript Service
Most of your academic interviews will only require an intelligent verbatim transcript (I would say 90% of the time this is the case. There are times, especially if you are analysing your coaching sessions or in certain subject areas where verbatim is required. I can provide a verbatim transcribing service. These transcripts include all speech uttered from ums and ers to stutters. I was trained to produce verbatim transcripts when I worked as an audio typist for the police service. As you can imagine, these transcripts had to be highly accurate, as they would be produced in court. I have a natural ability with verbatim transcripts as I am an auditory person and can provide very accurate results. This type of transcript is extremely labour intensive to produce, and I so I only offer it for a maximum of two speakers and the quality of the recording needs to be excellent. I think if you shop around you will find my prices to be one of the lowest for this service. The price is £1.75 per audio minute. If you would like pauses indicated such as (long pause) (medium pause) (short pause) or pauses shown in seconds (2) (5) (9) for example, please let me know at the time of booking. Verbatim transcription takes immense concentration, and therefore it cannot be rushed. Of all the pieces of work that you would consider having transcribed, I highly recommend that you have verbatim transcripts done by a professional. If you are not familiar with audio transcribing, this type of work will take you an extremely long time, and you will find yourself very frustrated. AI will not produce good results for you on this type of work.
I have been transcribing academic interviews for over nine years now.
I would estimate I have transcribed well over 350 different studies in the areas of: social sciences, sociology, economics, healthcare, criminology, psychology, counselling, business studies, project management, environmental sciences, social work, education, art and design, sports sciences, Research Council studies, philosophy, religion, political science, LGBT studies, Policing, education and so many more. I have provided transcripts for many newly qualified professionals who are beginning to practice in various fields. These include psychotherapists, life coaches, osteopaths and counsellors. Many of my clients are also professors working on multiple academic endeavours including material for books and monographs.

I have several Word templates I can use to provide you with a professional looking transcript which you can easily edit.
