Market Research Transcription Services
Turn interviews, focus groups, recorded discussions and research sessions into clear, structured transcripts that are easier to analyse, code, compare and share with your research team.
We support English and multilingual projects, including transcription translation when your research needs to be reviewed in another language.
From recorded conversation to usable research data
Transcripts can be prepared for interviews, focus groups, surveys, workshops and other recorded qualitative research.
Choose the level of detail that matches your analysis.
Support for projects involving more than one language.
Research recordings and transcripts are handled with care.
One-to-one research
Clear transcripts for depth interviews, stakeholder interviews and respondent conversations.
Multi-speaker sessions
Structured transcription for group discussions where speaker changes and context matter.
Multilingual studies
Transcription and translation workflows for international research across languages and markets.
Make recorded research easier to analyse and use
Raw audio contains the detail, but text makes that detail easier to search, quote, code, compare and review across a research project.
Accurate research records
A carefully prepared transcript gives your team a dependable written record of interviews, focus groups and other research conversations.
Faster analysis
Written transcripts make it easier to identify themes, compare responses and pull supporting quotations without repeatedly replaying recordings.
Better collaboration
Researchers, analysts and stakeholders can review the same text, annotate findings and work from a shared version of the discussion.
Language accessibility
Multilingual transcription and transcription translation help teams work with research collected in different languages.
Flexible detail
Choose edited transcription for cleaner reading or verbatim transcription when fillers, repetitions and exact wording matter to the analysis.
Project continuity
Consistent formatting across batches of files helps larger or rolling research projects stay organised as new recordings are added.
Choose the transcript format that fits your research method
The right approach depends on how closely you need the written transcript to reflect the original recording.
Cleaner, easier-to-read text
Edited transcription removes unnecessary fillers and obvious verbal repetitions while preserving the substance and meaning of the discussion. It is useful when the transcript will mainly be read for themes, findings and respondent feedback.
A fuller record of what was said
Verbatim transcription retains the spoken wording in greater detail. This is appropriate when exact phrasing, hesitations, repetitions or other speech features are relevant to your research methodology or evidence trail.
Research conducted in other languages
Where interviews or focus groups are carried out in different languages, the recordings can be transcribed in the source language so that your project keeps a written record of the original discussion.
Translate the insight as well as transcribe it
If your analysis team needs the content in another language, transcription can be combined with translation so the spoken research is converted into a readable target-language transcript.
Support for interviews, groups and recorded studies
Market research projects often involve repeated batches of recordings, multiple respondents and strict project timelines. A consistent transcription workflow helps keep the material usable from the first interview through to final analysis.

Market research transcription FAQs
Can you transcribe both interviews and focus groups?
Yes. The service can be used for one-to-one interviews as well as multi-speaker focus groups and other recorded research discussions.
What is the difference between edited and verbatim transcription?
Edited transcription produces cleaner reading by removing unnecessary fillers and obvious repetitions. Verbatim transcription keeps the spoken wording in greater detail when exact speech is important to the research.
Can you handle multilingual market research recordings?
Yes. Multilingual transcription is available, and projects can also combine transcription with translation when the analysis team needs the transcript in another language.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Send the number of recordings, approximate duration, language or languages, required transcription style, any speaker-label or formatting instructions and your preferred deadline.
