HUMAN TRANSCRIPTION · AI TRANSCRIPTION · SMART INSIGHTS

Interview transcription services for research, legal, and business.

Q: What is the difference between human and AI interview transcription?

Human transcription delivers 99% accuracy, verbatim precision, IRB compliance, and research-grade quality. AI transcription via Instant Draft delivers fast drafts, summaries, Smart Insights, and AI Chat in minutes. Human transcription is the right choice for IRB-approved studies, legal proceedings, and clinical research. Instant Draft is ideal for first-pass analysis and projects where speed is the priority.

Q: Do you offer verbatim or intelligent verbatim transcription?

Both. Full verbatim captures every word exactly as spoken including filler words, false starts, and non-verbal cues. Intelligent verbatim cleans up speech for readability while preserving every significant statement. Tell us which you need when you submit.

Q: How do you protect interview participant confidentiality?

Every file received under strict NDA, transferred through an encrypted portal, and deleted on your timeline. HIPAA, GDPR, and PIPEDA compliant. Participant de-identification and anonymization available on request.

Q: Can you transcribe phone and video interviews?

Yes. Phone interviews, Zoom calls, Teams meetings, in-person recordings, and field interviews all supported across both human and AI transcription.

Accurate transcription for in-depth interviews, witness interviews, client meetings, patient interviews, and executive Q&As. Every word captured, every speaker labeled, every interview analysis-ready from the moment it arrives.
