Our Expertise
Research Interviews
Qualitative research interviews are a crucial data collection tool for a wide variety of methods used within education research.
We have transcribed thousands of research interviews for hundreds of clients from reputed academic institutions around the world.
Including, but not limited to:
- Harvard University
- United States EPA
- Australian Government Department of Defence
- BBC
- CNN
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
You Save Time and Money for Your Research
Let our academic transcription services team with the right experience and equipment handle your workload.
Speed and accuracy is essential for the successful outcome of any research.
By using our academic transcription services, you avoid inevitable delays and potential errors involved with DIY transcription.
As researchers, professors, or students, that gives you more time to concentrate on more critical activities and leave the heavy lifting to us.
Focus Groups
Focus group data transcription is a necessary tool that gives researchers opportunities to explore, in great detail, unique experiences of the participants, allowing in-depth insights into how their different interests are experienced and perceived.
A lot of transcribers and transcription companies shy away from these mainly due to the often difficult nature of such interviews, and multiple speakers.
We don’t Shy Away from a Challenge
Our team thrives when faced with a challenge, and that shows in our glowing reviews.
Our experienced academic transcription services team have dealt with a wide range of audio files, for ex:
- Multiple Speaker Research Interviews
- Phone and Skype Interviews with multiple speakers
- Technical Presentations
- Conference Calls
If you don’t want to spend your valuable time on the tedious process of transcribing focus group interviews yourself, let the experts handle it.
Get in touch with us today by uploading your files above for a FREE 5-minute trial or contact us via the form at the bottom of this page if you have any questions.
Lectures & Seminars
Much of what applies to focus group and research interviews, applies to transcribing lectures and seminars too.
Transcripts of lectures and seminars have proven to be excellent data mining tools, which are infinitely better than audio recordings.
Why?
Because searching through a transcript is 10 times faster than rewinding, fast-forwarding or scrolling through an audio or video file.
Some of the biggest challenges you may face while transcribing large seminars or lectures is keeping track of speakers.
Fortunately, through years and years of seminar transcription experience, we’ve developed an efficient way to label and distinguish speakers easily, which gives us an edge over our competition.
If you want to avoid the hassle and time draining aspect of transcribing lectures and seminars, contact us by using the form at the bottom of this page.
Client Testimonials
Strongly, strongly recommend!
I have worked with several transcription companies, and after working with Scriptosphere, I will not work with any of the others ever again! Scriptosphere is highly organized, tremendously professional, and does fantastic quality work. I couldn’t be happier.

Highly recommend
The transcripts are impressively accurate, especially considering the quick turnaround time. I tried another service before scriptosphere that charges the same rate with half the accuracy. The few parts of my audio files that could not be made out were time stamped, making editing a breeze. Also, the customer service representatives were very responsive and quick to help me with any questions I may have had. I highly recommend this service for social scientists working with heavy loads of qualitative interviews.

Several factors determine how long it will take for us to complete a project, such as:
Audio Quality: Difficult audio takes longer to transcribe. Which is why it’s a bit more expensive as well.
Audio Duration: It takes longer to transcribe larger projects.
Our Workload: If we’re handling too many projects at the same time, turnaround times may get affected.
