Alas, I've been transcribing my interviews for my dissertation, unless it has been conducted through chat. It ate up a lot of my time, for sure. Not sure if there is an easy way out :( On Tue, Jan 27, 2009 at 4:14 PM, Barry Wellman <wellman@chass.utoronto.ca>wrote:
We've never found a transcription program that will work with interviews. That's because you need to train the program for each voice, and while the interviewers are trainable [;-)], each respondent isn't. Hard enuf to get a resp. to hold still to be interviewed.
We have had good luck with transcription software, for going from voice recording to interviews. Tracy, what did we use last?
