Hi Tim! Yes - I would recommend Temi, which is Rev's AI-assisted transcribing platform: https://temi.com <https://www.temi.com/> This recommendation comes from a journalist who has had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with transcripts for ~15 years. But Temi should work great (you used to be able to get your first order free to try, but I think now it's restricted to a specific amount of time you can get done free first). There are others that might work even better depending on the topic - there are other AI-assisted transcribing platforms that do better with pop culture v. more technical stuff. Also, it's super-super fast. Yesterday I did a 45-minute interview and within 3 minutes of uploading it was completed and available... I started using it last year and have never looked back.

Hi All,
I hope you had a wonderful time in Australia. Sorry to have missed it.
I am beginning a round of about 90 interviews, most of which I will do using video-conferencing software Zoom (low background noise and decent audio quality). Last time I did this five years ago, I paid Rev to do the bulk of the transcription.
Now, I am wondering if voice-to-text transcription software has become good enough to produce transcriptions of one-on-one interviews. I've been surfing and seeing services like Temi or wreally, and I am wondering if any of you have had success (or failures) with this kind of software. I am not doing any sort of hyper-close linguistic analysis, so I don't need the transcripts to be absolutely perfect. Software would save a lot of money, but I also don't want to waste time if the results are going to be too shoddy to use. Thoughts? Preferred software?
Thank you in advance.
