Expert Transcription Service for Your PhD Dissertation
Expert Transcription Service for Your PhD Dissertation-From Top-Class Universities Across the Globe
Many researchers find transcribing audio or video data to be challenging because it often involves skill-level transcription, audio clarity, and familiarity with the context. Regardless, transcription is a vital part of the research process because it secures the accuracy and fidelity of the research data—perhaps one of the most impactful parts of any study.
Unlike other parts, the transcription service is often weighted heavily since it is representative of whether the researcher has truly understood the subtleties of the recorded material and transcribed the data in an accurate format. Reviewers and supervisors review the transcription for:
- Whether the transcript accurately reflects the information in interviews, focus groups, or discussions
- If the transcript adheres to the appropriate academic format and is free of errors
- How well the representation of non-verbal features (i.e., pauses, tone and emphasis) is reflected in the transcript
- If the transcript is clear, objective, and presented coherently while maintaining a sense of context and meaning from the original audio/video
This is where many researchers will struggle or fail frequently; they misrepresent contents, transcribe difficult audio vaguely, or lose the transcript altogether of important non-verbal behaviours. Even the smallest transcription error can call into jeopardy the credibility of your research, which may end in needing a rewrite, rejection, or ultimately a lower quality of results.
At the PhD Assistance Research Lab, we concentrate on dealing with these challenges.

- Qualitative research deepens understanding of the phenomenon being investigated. The research facilitates to collection of data through audio or video (e.g. recordings of the interview, focus group) that are transcribed usually into written form.
- However, transcribing such data is not easier as it requires skills and domain-specific knowledge that involves judgement about what level of detail to choose (e.g. omitting non-verbal dimensions of interaction), data interpretation (e.g. differentiating I don’t know from I don’t, no’) and representation of data (e.g. representation of the verbalization ‘hwarryuhh’ as ‘how are you’?)
- Transcribers at PhD. Assistants are trained and briefed during every project where they are involved in close observation of data through repeated careful listening to ensure familiarity and attention to understand what is there rather than what is expected.
- Our time and budgeting depend on the length of audio, and difficulty (e.g. overlaps in speech, interfering noise, accent or style of speech, utterances) in transcribing.
