CLEAN VERBATIM: Everything captured, excluding the "ums" and "uhs"
Clean verbatim transcription is our most commonly ordered transcription format and often the default style for professional services. Instead of capturing every sound spoken, clean verbatim captures only what people actually intended to say. We do not paraphrase. We preserve the meaning and context of every single sentence in an interview recording.

The entire content of the recording is captured from the beginning to the end.
Word crutches (um’s, ah’s, stutters, repetitions, etc.) are not captured.
Voices, media playback, etc. that are part of the background are not captured.

Omits unnecessary utterances to allow the transcript flow better while preserving meaning and context.

FULL VERBATIM: Everything captured, including the "ums" and "uhs"

With full verbatim transcription, your audio is transcribed word-for-word; sighs and stutters, filler words, and sound and non-verbal communication are all captured. Full verbatim transcripts are the longest and most frustrating to read since the speech pattern does not flow well.

The full content of the recording is captured from the beginning to the end.
All speech is captured exactly as spoken, including um’s, ah’s, mis-started sentences, repetitions, etc.
Voices, media playback, etc. that are part of the background are captured.

Captures and includes every utterance within the audio like "uh" and "um." Also, sighs, stutters and filler words.

Qualtranscribe's transcription of lectures and discussions was fast, accurate and an enjoyable process. I recommend them and wish them luck.

Natalie Jeremijenko

Professor /Writer

Working with this team has been great. I conducted interviews with West African immigrants in the U.S. for my dissertation. Great accuracy reliability and easy to deal with! I have been recommending

Qualtranscribe to fellow researchers.

Bernadette Ludwig

Researcher

The team produced very good quality transcripts for me in both English and Swahili, based on interview and focus group material, as well as recordings for a podcast. They were a dream to work with - very responsive and accommodating.

Samantha Balaton-Chrimes

Senior Lecturer

The quality of the transcripts were very high, especially near the end of the batch when the transcriber recognized the voices and became familiar with the content. I will use the services again for the next qualitative project!

The Algorithmic Justice League began using Qualtranscribe's services in 2020. All project managers have been extremely supportive and flexible. Our transcriptions were always delivered early or on time. Can't wait to work with them again in the near future!
