What is Manual Transcribing Service?
Manually transcribing is when a professional human transcriber converts the audio to text. Usually, manual or human transcriptions are over 99% accurate and are carried out by transcriptionists who have actual niche experience.
In other words, your focus groups or in-depth interviews are transcribed by transcribers with proven experience in the market research industry. We can offer English-to-English transcription services besides offering voice translation services in 30+ languages.
For market research transcription services, the accuracy of transcripts matters more than anything else. And you cannot convert audio to text with any degree of accuracy if human transcribers aren’t assigned to do the transcribing.
Human transcription services might look expensive in the beginning but auto-transcribed transcripts aren’t accurate and need editing services on top, which makes auto transcription doubly expensive.

Types of Transcripts That We Can Deliver
What type of transcript you may require will depend on the level of detail that you want to be captured in transcripts. Here’s the list of the most common types of transcripts and the levels of detail they capture.
Verbatim Transcripts
Verbatim transcripts contain the word-for-word accounts of the recording, except that it leaves out stutters, verbal tics, ‘hmms’, ‘ahs’, and interruptions to deliver transcripts that have an easy-to-read flow.
Full-Verbatim Transcripts
Full verbatim transcripts are more detailed and contain in addition to all spoken words non-essentials like stutters and interruptions. You can also request transcribers to include pauses, laughter and annotations on tone.
Detailed Notes Transcripts
Detailed notes transcripts are edited to make them more to-the-point and on-topic and usually takes a specialist to deliver such transcripts. Anything off-topic like chit-chat and rambling answers is edited out to ensure the delivery of a more accurate and concise summary of the recordings.
Benefits of Transcribing Audio to Text
Research doesn’t end with recording interviews. Documenting, and preserving the data is equally important. Transcribing audio files helps accomplish exactly that. Other benefits of transcribing audio to the text include:
1. Written Record of Focus Groups & In-depth Interviews
When it comes to storing, analysing and sharing data with colleagues, written transcripts come in handy. On the technical side, you may be aware transcripts are written documents and take significantly less storage when compared to audio and video recordings.
With your recording converted into a document, you can read it more objectively and review responses from participants. Moreover, sharing transcripts with coworkers is extremely easier and less cumbersome.
Additionally, written transcripts lend themselves to translation more easily, so you can have different translations of the same transcript into multiple languages.
2. Render Market Research Analysis Less Time-Consuming
A written transcript is easier to read or sift through compared to audio recordings. Therefore, renders the analysis of market research data less time-consuming. Converting lengthy recordings into transcripts saves your team countless hours and makes it possible to search for specific words and timestamps when you’re looking for a particular piece of information.
3. Draw More Accurate Conclusions
A disadvantage of listening to an audio recording, from the researcher’s point of view, is that most of the time goes into note-taking, which is actually a distraction because he isn’t able to pay attention to what’s being said.
Transcript solves that problem by converting an audio file to a text document, hence saving researchers plenty of time that would have otherwise gone into note-taking, and focusing their attention on the text itself.
