Transcription is the textualisation of spoken language. It can be based on very simple rules in order to shed light primarily on aspects of content, or on particularly complex rules that make it possible to precisely analyse what is said and the nature of what is said.
The audio file is transcribed verbatim without taking into account delay words such as äh, ähm, hm. Stuttering and word cancellations are also omitted. There is a slight linguistic smoothing, for example in the case of word or grammatical errors. Dialect phrases are translated into High German. The speaker contributions are clearly separated from each other. After speaker changes, no time marks are set. However, words that have not been transcribed are marked with time stamps. You will receive the text document from us in the following format: Arial font, font size 11, line spacing 1.5. If you require a different format, we will of course implement this according to your wishes.
The advantage of simple transcription is the good readability of the text. The content aspect is shown to its best advantage. In many cases, simple transcription is the first choice due to its good readability.
The transcription of English audio files is possible at an additional charge of €0.20 per audio minute, other languages (e.g. Spanish, French, Italian) on request.
The transcription is word-for-word and exact, word and grammatical errors are taken over, the sentence structure is transcribed as spoken . Word breaks, stuttering and delay words such as äh, ähm, hm are also transcribed. Reception signals such as mhm from the interviewee are noted. Reception signals from the interviewee are ignored as long as they do not interrupt the flow of speech. Stressed words and pauses for thought are marked, nonverbal utterances (laughter, coughing, clearing the throat, ...) are recorded. The speaker's contributions are clearly separated from each other. Timestamps are set after each speaker change. Words that cannot be understood are also marked with time stamps. We will provide you with the text document in the following format: Arial font, font size 11, line spacing 1.5. Should you require a different format, we will of course implement this according to your wishes.
The extended transcription brings in addition to the content also emotional aspects to light and is always useful when what is said alone is not enough to analyse a conversation, but the how? is also of importance. When the tone makes the music.
The transcription of English audio files is possible at an extra charge of 0.20 € per audio minute, other languages (e.g. Spanish, French, Italian) on request.
The Transcription according to Dresing/Pehl captures the content as well as the character of the conversation. Depending on the desired accuracy, a simple transcription according to Dresing/Pehl is possible, or a transcription with extensions.
The transcription is literal, i.e. not phonetic and summarising. Existing dialects are translated into High German as accurately as possible. If no clear translation is possible, the dialect is retained, for example: I'm going to the Oktoberfest this year. Word slurs are not transcribed, but approximated to written German. The sentence form is retained, even if it contains syntactical errors. Punctuation is smoothed in favour of readability. This means that a full stop rather than a comma is used when the voice is briefly lowered or the emphasis is ambiguous, but units of meaning are retained. Unintelligible words are marked with (unv.) or uncertainties in the transcription as (presumption?). Pauses in the flow of speech are recorded, emphases are noted in capitals. Emotional nonverbal utterances such as laughter, clearing of the throat, emphasised clicking, etc. are also included in the transcription. Each speaker's contribution is given its own paragraph. There is an empty line between the speakers. Short interjections are also recorded in a separate paragraph. A time marker is inserted at the end of each paragraph, but at least every three audio minutes. We will provide you with the text document in the following format: Arial font, font size 11, line spacing 1.5. If you require a different format, we will of course implement this according to your wishes.
The transcription of English audio files is possible at a surcharge of 0.20 euros per audio minute, other languages (e.g. Spanish, French, Italian) on request.
Talk in Qualitative Research, TiQ for short, is particularly recommended for reconstructive methods. The transcription is word-for-word, the sentence structure is transcribed as spoken and grammatical errors are taken over. Word breaks, stuttering, reception signals and filler sounds such as äh, ähm, hm are noted. They are also recorded: - Emphases - Pauses in the flow of speech (including micro-pauses) - Comments or notes on para-linguistic, events that are not verbal or external to the conversation - Speaking style with range (e.g. laughter) - overlaps - Volume of speech - Intonation - from sharply falling to sharply rising - Word slurring and rapid connections - Elongations Unintelligible elements and uncertainties in the transcription will be indicated. Each speaker's contribution is given its own paragraph.
In contrast to simpler transcriptions, when using complex rules according to GAT 2, additional attention is paid to the way something was said. This enables exact analysis of phonetic and phonological characteristics of what is said. The emphasis is recorded precisely. Pauses are recorded to the second. Speech overlaps, sentence breaks and word slurring are also reproduced. The spoken word, including any dialects, is exactly transcribed.
The basic expansion stage of GAT 2 is the minimal transcript. This can be expanded according to the onion principle to the basic transcript and finally to the fine transcript.
You will receive the text document from us in the following format: Courier New font, font size 10, line spacing 1.5. If you require a different format, we will of course implement this according to your wishes.
The principle of transcription according to HIAT is score notation. All participants in the conversation are assigned tracks, which is reminiscent of scores for orchestral music. Overlaps are indicated by overlapping parts of the conversation.
HIAT transcriptions are particularly recommended for analysing debating conversations, discussions or lessons.
The following tracks are included in the price: - one verbal track for each speaker - one track for special emphasis for each speaker - one external commentary track for each speaker - one nonverbal track for each speaker - one track for acoustic phenomena without authorship
On request, additional tracks are also possible at an extra charge. For example, we can realise a track for speaking speed, volume and speaking style (intonation track) at a surcharge of €4.00 per audio minute. Further tracks on request.
If the number of speakers is higher than 15, we charge a surcharge of €2.00 per audio minute.
You can do without timestamps, ehms and ähs, but would like to know at which point the other person laughed, coughed or hesitated? Do you have a precise idea of what identifiers should be used to designate the speakers? Or would you even like your own transcription rules to be implemented? No problem! We will be happy to take your wishes and specifications into account and provide you with a customised quote.
In contrast to recorded conversations or interviews, dictations are usually formulated and characterised by clear pronunciation, which leads to a reduction in transcription effort.
The transcription of dictations can be done one-to-one or in two steps: namely the audio recording of the text to be put on paper and the subsequent transcription of the same. The second solution offers the possibility of outsourcing the transcription of the dictation. If, for example, there is an absence due to holiday or illness or a large mountain of dictation to be dealt with, the secretary's office alone cannot cope with this, as there are other tasks to be done. Another advantage is the non-restricted speaking speed, as transcription programmes offer the option of slowing down the recording if necessary. This means you can speak as quickly as you like. Faster dictation takes less precious time. Our price per audio minute is based on the quality of the audio recording, but not on the speaking speed.
We are happy to transcribe your dictations and turn them into typescripts. You dictate, we put your words on paper.

* The price depends on the intelligibility of the audio recording and the number of speakers. This is a guideline for an easily understandable recording with 2 speakers. For each additional speaker 0.10 € more will be charged. (max. 0.50 €)
** The price for transcription varies depending on the complexity of the rules to be applied.
