interview transcription software
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.

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.

I think Temi quality really depends on audio recording quality. If you had an internal recorder going with the Zoom interviews that might be okay with Temi but if you using an external recorder to record the interview coming off a computer speaker that might be rough. I just had around a dozen interviews transcribed with Temi and the in-person ones were decent, but the phone interviews were nearly unintelligible and had to be re-done. Thankfully Temi rates the quality of the audio recording you give it. So if it ranks your files highly then go for it, otherwise, probably not worth it. -Kyle On Thu, Oct 10, 2019 at 8:39 AM Tim Laquintano <tlaquintano@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all, I suggest Otter. I am using it actively, it produces the transcription, of course it depends on the speaker, the dialect or accent. https://otter.ai/ On Thu, Oct 10, 2019 at 7:13 PM Kyle F Kubler <kubler@uw.edu> wrote:

We’ve been using otter.ai for recording and automatically transcribing project meetings when we want to remember what we discussed and why we made certain decisions. It’s almost perfect for US English, OK for other native English-speaking accents and useable for fluent non-native English speakers. It struggles a lot when more than one person speaks at once (which we get a lot of) but with a one on one interview it’s probably fine. I find that even with the many mistakes it’s very much worthwhile. It’s useful going through the transcript after the meeting, and since it separates by speaker and lets you listen to the voice recording while looking at and editing the transcript it’s really easy to find the interesting bits and quickly edit the transcript. It also automatically assigns tags (frequently used words) to each transcript. You may want to consider privacy for your interviewees, though. Otter and other A.I. transcriptions services obviously store the voices and use this for training the AI. So you are giving a commercial company an increased ability to understand and identify each voice you feed it. In Norway, I think a voice recording is classified as personally identifiable information in privacy legislation, so you’d need to think carefully about sending research data to a third party in another country. If there are any AI transcription services that work on a local computer and not on the cloud I would love to know about them!

Hi all, I suggest Otter. I am using it actively, it produces the transcription, of course it depends on the speaker, the dialect or accent.

I think Temi quality really depends on audio recording quality.
If you
had
an internal recorder going with the Zoom interviews that might be okay with Temi but if you using an external recorder to record the interview coming off a computer speaker that might be rough. I just had around a dozen interviews transcribed with Temi and the in-person ones were decent, but the phone interviews were nearly unintelligible and had to be re-done. Thankfully Temi rates the quality of the audio recording you give it. So if it ranks your files highly then go for it, otherwise, probably not worth it.

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.

Thank you all for the really helpful suggestions. Looks like it helps to plan your audio quality around the service. Much appreciated. Tim On Sun, Oct 13, 2019 at 8:12 AM Jill Walker Rettberg < Jill.Walker.Rettberg@uib.no> wrote:
We’ve been using otter.ai for recording and automatically transcribing project meetings when we want to remember what we discussed and why we made certain decisions. It’s almost perfect for US English, OK for other native English-speaking accents and useable for fluent non-native English speakers. It struggles a lot when more than one person speaks at once (which we get a lot of) but with a one on one interview it’s probably fine.
I find that even with the many mistakes it’s very much worthwhile. It’s useful going through the transcript after the meeting, and since it separates by speaker and lets you listen to the voice recording while looking at and editing the transcript it’s really easy to find the interesting bits and quickly edit the transcript. It also automatically assigns tags (frequently used words) to each transcript.
You may want to consider privacy for your interviewees, though. Otter and other A.I. transcriptions services obviously store the voices and use this for training the AI. So you are giving a commercial company an increased ability to understand and identify each voice you feed it. In Norway, I think a voice recording is classified as personally identifiable information in privacy legislation, so you’d need to think carefully about sending research data to a third party in another country.
If there are any AI transcription services that work on a local computer and not on the cloud I would love to know about them!
