What the Transcript Helps With
Qualitative coding
Export TXT or DOCX and mark themes, categories, and participant language.
Quote extraction
Search for key terms and copy exact passages for reports, papers, or synthesis.
Team review
Share readable transcripts with collaborators while keeping the source audio available for checks.
Upload-Based Workflow
These pages are written for uploaded audio or video files. For video platforms, export a file you are allowed to process instead of pasting a video-page URL.
- Prepare consented interview recordings and use clear filenames.
- Upload audio or video and enable speaker labels if the interview has multiple voices.
- Export DOCX or TXT for coding, quote extraction, and research review.
Common Issues and Fixes
Names and technical terms need review
Check proper nouns, locations, citations, and domain vocabulary after transcription.
Sensitive participant data
Use the least-sensitive export needed and follow your project data handling rules.
