Correct Academic Transcription

Correct Academic Transcription

Researchers and academics spend their life writing up research and analysing content. Let us take some of that off your hands with our fast, accurate academic transcription services.

If you’ve been closely involved in a research project, you will understand how time consuming it can be to transcribe your interviews and group discussions. Your brain will naturally fill in the gaps, make assumptions or gloss over details as you listen. You’re almost too close to pick up on the detail.

The Importance of Listening

We’re trained to listen and capture the content of your recordings using our intelligent transcription process. We will have researched your terminology, but we have no prior knowledge of your interviews or discussions so our transcribers aren’t influenced by what they’re hearing. The result is accurate, detailed transcripts that are fit for purpose.

Why settle for anything less? We handle your academic transcription projects, therefore freeing up your time to concentrate on the research. You will then have the appropriate time to carry out your analyses.

Client Testimonials

Manager Chatham House

“I’ve come back to try a second couple of transcripts as the first one we received back was about as near to perfect as you could get. This compared incredibly favourably with another service which sent us back a transcript riddled with the most appalling errors.”

“Chilli Consultancy have been supported by Alphabet’s transcription services since 2016. The efficiency of service is second-to-none. In particular, the system for uploading the audio files securely is smooth and efficient. The turnaround time for transcription has always been quicker than the agreed timeframe. The transcriptions are of very high quality, despite working from audio recordings of people with a wide range of accents from across the world. Chilli Consultancy will continue to use Alphabet for many years to come because of this high level of service.”

“We are using Alphabet for all our transcription needs and we are extremely happy with their service. Their transcription is very high quality, leading to a high level of trust and confidence in their work. The team are extremely good with ‘problem’ recordings, such as difficult accents, quiet speech and constant interruptions. All in all we are very happy with Alphabet and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in this line of work.”

“Transcribing interviews is a time consuming art, which needs a subtle blend of linguistic and technical skills. Alphabet provided a combination of these abilities. They provided a fast turnaround, great quality documents, and a friendly and personal experience. It was like having my own in-house transcribing team. They offered me a clear, refreshing and honest consultative approach to my needs. I would recommend Alphabet to any persons or organisations that require a professional and friendly transcribing service.”
