Transcription services for journalists

On average, a 1-hour interview takes 5 hours to manually transcribe an audio file to text. HappyScribe can save you up to 70% of that time. Finding specific information in a transcript is much quicker than listening to long audio files. Simply do a keyword search using commands. Transcribed word documents are easier to store and distribute, ensuring everyone in the team can access the transcripts, wherever they are. Looking at a written record of your interview gives you a chance to see how often you cut your interviewer off and may show that you aren't asking concise questions. A self-analysis of your style could make you a more human interviewer and nab you a better story.

HappyScribe will transcribe files of any length. There is no file size limit, meaning you don't have to trim your interviews and submit multiple files. We also accept 45+ file formats including AIFF, M4A, MP3, MP4, WAV, and WMA, making transcription in qualitative research quick and easy.

At HappyScribe, we understand that focus group transcription services and academic transcriptions services often need to transcribe multiple speakers within the same audio file. Therefore, we do not limit the number of speakers. Be it one person or one hundred people, we will transcribe everything on your audio file. Additionally, our speech recognition can detect when the speaker has changed.
