Case Study: University of Auckland Achieves Fast, Accurate Research Transcription with TranscribeMe

University of Auckland - Customer Case Study

At the University of Auckland, PhD candidate Alexandra Lee needed a faster way to transcribe lengthy field interviews for her research on architects’ roles in disaster recovery. Manual transcription was time-consuming and expensive, yet she still required highly accurate transcripts for analysis in tools like NVivo and SPSS. She turned to TranscribeMe and its app-based transcription service to support her work in the field.

TranscribeMe provided an iPhone-based recording and transcription solution with downloadable transcripts in Word and XML formats. The result was highly accurate transcripts, typically delivered in 24–48 hours, with easy upload access, strong confidentiality, and speaker identification support. By using TranscribeMe, Alexandra was able to spend less time transcribing and more time analyzing her research data.
