Research contexts we support
Research-specific questions
Do you support qualitative research software exports?
Yes. Our JSON export includes speaker labels and word-level timestamps that import cleanly into NVivo, ATLAS.ti, and MAXQDA. We can also provide custom formatting on request.
Can you handle focus group recordings with overlapping speech?
Yes. We assign specialist transcribers experienced with multi-party group dynamics. Cross-talk and overlapping speech are noted and attributed where discernible.
What's your data retention policy for sensitive research data?
Files are encrypted at rest and in transit. They are permanently deleted 30 days after delivery unless you request extended retention. NDAs are available on request.
Can you provide verbatim transcripts for discourse analysis?
Absolutely. Full verbatim includes every false start, hesitation, and filler word. We can also add Jefferson notation markers if required.
Do you offer institutional pricing for universities?
Yes. Volume clients submitting 10+ hours per month receive automatic discounts. Contact us to discuss institutional billing arrangements.
