QualTranscribe was very professional and finished all the transcribing very quickly. The quality of the transcripts were very high, especially near the end of the batch when the transcriber recognized the voices and became familiar with the content. Throughout the process, the project manager continued to ask for feedback and was very eager to make sure everything was done quickly and thoroughly. I will use the services again for the next qualitative project!

What's a full verbatim transcript?In a full verbatim transcription, interview is transcribed word for word, and sound for sound., Every single utterance is included; ums, uhs, mm-hmms, false start, stutters and all repeated words. Non-word utterances such as um, uh-huh Sound of emotion or body sounds: [laughs], [crying], [makes sound], [coughs], [clears throat], even pauses and silences are noted. No word is added even to improve grammar. Don't transcribe languages other than English. Each of these cases is described in another section. Usually this would be for court documents or transcripts that may be submitted to a court for litigation purposes. Some students may also want every utterance transcribed for analyzing purposes, while others prefer to have an intelligent version. Please note that we are not talking about paraphrasing the conversation when we are talking about intelligent verbatim. We are talking about an exact transcript of what was said, but just leaving out the ums, uhs, hm-hmms, repeated words and false starts.

What Our Clients
Say About Us
Qualtranscribe staff quickly and professionally transcribed 25 interviews for my dissertation research in under a month, far faster than any other transcriber I have worked with. Overall, the quality was very high. I will certainly use them again and recommend them to others.
Mira Debs, Yale University
Qualtranscribe provided the most accurate transcripts I have ever seen. I tried two other (more expensive) transcription services prior, and their services were inferior. The quality of Qualtranscribe's transcripts saved me tons of time!
Kelly Szott, Syracuse University
The transcripts were affordable and accurate. The turnaround time was very reasonable for a large data set.
Rebecca Ditwiler, USF Health
