Curious about transcription support, but not sure where to start?

Here's one easy answer: join me this Thursday for a drop-in info session.

Are you a social researcher who's found us through one of our founder and CEO's webinars and workshops, currently working with qualitative data collection involving interviews, workshops, focus groups, and participant diaries?

Or perhaps you're in a different phase, and focusing instead on communicating your findings through various outputs, including podcasts, videos, conferences and presentations.

Whatever your reasons for thinking about transcription as part of your research or communications process, it can be tricky knowing what support is out there, or where to start with taking up that support.

And while there may be great reasons for handling your transcription requirements yourself, there are all sorts of good reasons--ranging from accessibility, time pressures, or wrangling a large project--why a little extra help might go a long way.

I'm running a 30 minute drop-in information session this Thursday lunchtime at 1pm and if this resonates with you, I'd love you to join me.

It'll be a friendly informal opportunity to chat about what's out there, what support you might need, and how you can get it.

Sign up using the form on the right, and I'll email you the Zoom link.

See you there?

Take care, and chat soon,

Zara

Will this event be recorded?

What accessibility measures will be in place?

  • The event will take place over Zoom and the main seminar itself will be recorded, although we will turn the recording off for the Q&A.

  • All of our events include automated live captions as standard, although we recognise that these are an imperfect solution.

  • There will not be Sign Language Interpreting available at this event due to budgetary constraints, but we aim to include BSL interpreting at future events as soon as possible.

  • The replay will be emailed to everyone who signs up to the event, with Zoom-native automated closed-captions, within 24 hours of the event. We will also endeavour to share a PDF copy of any slides, including image descriptions/alt text.

  • Around 7-10 days after the event, we'll update the replay with high-quality, accessibility-first closed captions alongside a publication-ready transcript of the event (both supplied by Academic Audio Transcription).

  • If you have any questions about additional accessibility measures, please email us at [email protected].

Nice words about your host,

LinkedIn Comment from Dr Dyi Dieuwetje Huijg, which reads: 'You're too kind - thank you for all your amazing work!! I can't recommend working with Zara Bain PhD and Academic Audio Transcription high enough. When I work with colleagues on collab writing projects we sometimes save automated captions, and they're a disaster. In contrast, the transcripts from AAT are so accurate and easy to work with!! And I loved that they used all my directions for eg transcribing non-verbal communication- including silences and laughter - too! Because, all of that is so important for making sense of the interviews! But also just on a practical level, they were always understanding and accommodating when I ran on crip time. Was a pleasure to work with them and would do it again in a next project! I'm so thankful for The Leverhulme Trust for making this (financially) possible.
Screenshot of testimonial which reads: "AAT Was so lovely to work with! I had a complex project and a limited budget. The team at AAT were very thoughtful in helping me work through this. I was also glad to be working with a group of folks who support often-marginalized people. I will definitely be using AAT again in my qualitative work and recommending them to others."
Screenshot testimonial reads: "Q: Would you recommend AAT's services to others seeking transcription or closed caption services? Why or why not? A: Yes. Definitely. AAT is great to work with, the team is knowledgeable and collaborative, and the standard of captioning and transcription has been consistently excellent. I also think that AAT are facilitating an ethical approach to providing accessibility accommodations, by providing fairly paid work for disabled people."
Screenshot of testimonial which reads: "I am deaf and low vision, so I depend on captioning and transcription to access qualitative data. I felt I could trust these transcripts - automatic captioning or AI transcription can be okay but not great - knowing that a real person was listening and working with the audio gave me confidence that the data I was reading was accurate."
Screenshot of testimonial which reads: "I worked with AAT to transcribe a series of interviews and focus groups for a research project Il led. I learned about them through word of mouth from another researcher in my field--and I was so glad I did! Throughout the process, AAT staff were friendly, communicative, and flexible. Moreover, the quality of the final product was always excellent. I particularly appreciated the variety of services and price points AAT offers, which makes them a good fit for a wide range of project budgets and quality control needs. I also felt good about working with a company that aligned with my research team's values in terms of accessibility. I've recommended AAT to several colleagues for their own research projects and will continue to do so.
