Automated transcripts generated by AI can be useful, especially for single speaker recordings or as a prompt to help you remember a discussion. However, with recordings of two speakers or more, the AI can get confused. And if you add project specific terminology or strong accents, it can produce a very difficult to read transcript. 

AI generated transcripts also rarely capture pauses or emotions, both of which are important when transcribing oral history and qualitative research interviews, as the interviewee can often be communicating with more than just words.

This is when our quality checking and editing service can help! Our skilled transcriptionists will familiarise themselves with your project or topic before editing the automated transcript whilst listening to the original recording to ensure accuracy. The transcript will also have automated timestamps removed and 10 minute added for ease of reference.
