Academic Research
For our academic research clients, transcription is a very necessary and substantial investment. At eScribe, we like to make it as simple and as cost-effective for you as possible. From our pre-recording coaching to the templates we've designed based on our years of experience, we are proud to partner with you for the best possible results.
The accuracy of your results is paramount. The sheer volume of your of your material from your qualitative data can be mind-boggling. eScribe can help you from the beginning by showing you how to create an efficient recording in the first instance, which will keep transcribing costs down and generate far more accurate transcriptions.
Research analysis transcription
We are able to transcribe your recordings into a format that's compatible with your analysis using your software package, eg NVivo 9 or your manual coding for your conversational analysis transcipts. In our experience, clients can end up with hundreds of pages of research analysis transcription to analyse up to a year later, and without the appropriate template, style and formatting in place from the start, the task is almost insurmountable. Let us help you to get it right when it's easiest by starting from the desired end result and working back.
