INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES
Interview transcription is one of the areas of transcription where a high level of accuracy is of paramount importance. Interview transcription services cover a wide range of disciplines and several broad categories, including:
- One-to-one interviews
- Multiple participants interviews
- Research-based interviews
- Oral history interviews
- Police interviews
- Legal interviews/depositions
- Radio, television and journalist interviews
- Focus group interviews and group discussions
- Recruitment interviews
- Marketing-based interviews
- Telephone interviews
Three basic transcript styles are commonly used in interview transcription:
- Verbatim transcription: A word-for-word record of the submitted sound file, where no abbreviations or alterations are allowed.
- Intelligent Verbatim: The transcriptionist is allowed to use some discretion and to eliminate words not relevant to the subject matter. Linguistic corrections (grammar, abbreviation use etc.) are introduced. This style of transcript is actually less time-consuming than verbatim transcription.
- Intelligent Transcription: Transcriptionists edit and proof the transcribed work.
The choice of transcript style is very important because it affects the way participants are understood, the information they share, and the conclusions reached. There exist endless variations using elements of each of the above transcription styles to achieve specific analytical objectives and research goals. At Transcription Company.Co.UK, we advise our clients to carefully choose the interview transcription style that best matches their objective. For example, researchers who are interested in the intricacies of spoken language would do well to opt for 100% verbatim transcription of interviews. But if the client’s primary interest is in the informational content of the interview transcript, an Intelligent Transcription may be more useful. In such cases, accuracy concerns the substance of the interview, or the meanings and perceptions voiced during a conversation.
