Research Transcription

VIQ Solutions (UK), formerly The Transcription Agency offers a fast, accurate and efficient solution to individuals, universities, government departments, charities and a variety of organisations who require verbatim transcription of research depth interviews, paired depth interviews, triads, focus groups, conferences or workshops.  All transcripts are 100% edited and reviewed by a human transcriber.

With turnarounds available from same day, our team has the capacity to turn small or large-scale projects around quickly without compromising on quality.

We encourage our team to keep up-to-date with any current trends in research, products and services as well as providing access to our extensive bank of glossaries.  This ensures accurate transcription of project-specific terminology, which in turn supports our commitment to providing high quality transcripts.

Depth interviews/paired depth interviews/triads

Depth interviews/paired depth interviews/triads transcribed in our standard layout show respondents in non-bold font and the interviewer in bold font.  For recordings containing mixed-sex respondents, we show gender differentiation with M (for Male) or F (for Female) before their speech to aid analysis.  If you require further respondent IDs, anonymised documents or a different layout, speak with a member of the team who will be happy to discuss this with you.

In addition to the above, we are also able to transcribe your dictation – please contact us as discounted rates can be provided for dictation transcription.

Focus groups/workshops

Focus groups and workshops among a large group of people can quickly shift from a disciplined discussion into a “free for all” when respondents are keen to get their views across.  Respondents might:

  • talk over each other
  • turn away from the recorder
  • have multiple discussions at the same time

Recordings of this nature are notoriously harder to transcribe than interviews.

VIQ Solutions (UK) rises to the challenge of transcribing recordings like this.  

We recognise that a different set of skills is required to transcribe focus groups and workshops.  We have a team of experienced transcribers on hand to tackle even the most spirited of groups.  Our highly experienced team strives for perfection and will patiently re-listen to recordings repeatedly until they are confident that your transcripts are full, verbatim and accurate.

Groups and workshops transcribed in our standard layout show respondents as M (for Male) or F (for Female) before their speech to aid analysis.  If you require further respondent IDs, anonymised documents or a different layout, speak with a member of the team who will be happy to discuss this with you.

Customer confidentiality is paramount.  Customer data is handled in a confidential manner and we will work to clients’ requirements regarding data retrieval, storage and deletion.  We also have an in-house transcription team for any transcription requests requiring additional security measures.

We are happy to sign any additional non-disclosure agreements or security documentation that you require.  You can read about our Confidentiality and Security here.
