Turn your recordings into insights with expert market research transcription

How can you hear, figuratively at least, what your respondents have to say faster? Your value as a market researcher is not found in the performance of administrative tasks, but in your carefully crafted fieldwork and the analysis of its results. Market research transcription can help you to fully convey the experiences of research participants in studies, focus groups and interviews, providing valuable insights and quotations to enhance your report to the end client.

What is transcription?

Transcription involves listening to speech and converting that into a written document, whether verbatim, including partly-formed ideas, repetitions and verbal fillers or a “cleaned up” version. This then forms an invaluable source and a permanent written record of the audio files. It can ensure low-quality audio files can be transformed into a well-written document.

Why use transcription in your market research?

Transcription is a key aspect of qualitative market research, to help preserve and convey the findings of your research projects. It is particularly useful for focus groups, to convert recordings into a readable format and enable insight professionals to create a comprehensive record of the focus group session. This can then be filed and used for reference in future projects.

I have worked with Janka a few times for this project, and she’s always been incredibly transparent, and taken time to ensure we are happy throughout the process of translation. Janka was checks in with me if a translator is unsure of certain things, which is much appreciated! It makes my job easier when coming to reviewing the final translations.
