Whether you’re a doctoral student working on your dissertation, a professor looking to publish papers, or a principal investigator applying for grants, in order to see your qualitative research make a difference, you need a reliable interview transcription service that understands the importance of verbatim transcription.

That’s why, unlike general transcription services that use a loose network of freelancers in crowd-shared work-spaces around the world, Research Transcriptions operates 100% in the United States.

With Research Transcriptions, your work will be done by a dedicated team of Certified Research Transcriptionists (CRTs) that specializes in verbatim transcription for qualitative research.

You get the reliability that comes from hiring specialists and the confidentiality that your IRB requires.

Spend less time proofing and more time analyzing. Make confident conclusions.

Perform your analysis with the confidence of knowing that 100% of your English research interviews have been transcribed in American English (AmE) by Certified Research Transcriptionists (CRTs) in the United States.

This means that American idioms, slang, expressions and proper pronouns that provide important human research insights will not be skipped over.

Enjoy the convenience of having your foreign language transcription and translation service handled by one provider. At Research Transcriptions, we transcribe and translate over 37 languages, including Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Korean, Japanese and more.

*Note: All English transcription work is performed in the United States. Transcription and translation service in other languages is performed in the country native to the language. Due to the lack of jurisdiction by US law over workers in other countries, Research Transcriptions is not able to guarantee confidentiality for this work.

Know the company you’re hiring.
How well do they understand verbatim transcription?

When it comes to finding a reliable verbatim transcription service for qualitative research, it can be hard to know the difference between one company and another – other than by the low prices that some transcription websites advertise.

It takes careful due diligence. Those super-low prices that you see advertised on some transcription websites can turn in to costly decisions.

How much can you find out from a transcription website?

Too often, not enough. That’s why at Research Transcriptions, we believe in transparency. On our About us page, you will find complete details about our company and ownership. And we’ll tell you anything else you want to know too.
