Qualitative Research Transcription Services

We have been lending our services to organisations since 2008. Assisting them with transcribing recorded interviews, telephone conversations and focus groups. Outsourcing your transcription to us enables you to spend time focussing on more important tasks. Rather than losing valuable hours writing up transcriptions.

We offer reliable and accurate qualitative research transcription services through our research transcription team. They all have a wealth of experience in transcribing interviews and focus groups. We know that no one project is the same, as some require us to transcribe with a higher level of detail. Including verbatim, intelligent verbatim or discourse analysis.

How We Keep Your Records Safe

Data security and privacy are also important factors for research companies – and we are fully committed to providing exactly that. Your files are secured with 256-bit SSL encryption when being uploaded. All of our typists have signed confidentiality agreements with us to ensure the privacy of the work.

TypeOut also diligently complies with the Data Protection Act and is a voluntary member of the Information Commissioner’s Office.
