Transcribe a Hiligaynon FGD and compare every site by prompt.
A 2-hour Hiligaynon focus group discussion comes back here in about 4 minutes, with a transcript timestamped line by line, chapters that follow your guide and key quotes. Hiligaynon is supported but trails the major languages in accuracy: count on a fast first draft and one review pass, while answers given in English come back cleanly. The first 20 minutes are free, one session fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes, and six sessions across your sites fit the $12 pack of 2,000.
For multi-site studies
The question is rarely what one group said. It is how the groups differed.
Same prompt, every site
Chapters usually start where the facilitator moves to the next prompt in the guide, so prompt four in one town and prompt four in the next can be read side by side.
Quotes that carry a name and a time
Key quotes come with the participant's name, when the facilitator used it, and the timestamp to check the line against the audio.
Ask across a session
The chat over the transcript answers questions like which concerns came up more than once, and shows the passage behind each answer.
Large site recordings
A video of a session recorded on a laptop can be several gigabytes. Paste a Drive link, or continue on the upload page with the file itself.
Comparing groups from audio
Six groups, twelve hours, and a findings matrix that needs every cell filled.
✗ From notes and audio
In a multi-site study the matrix comes last: every group typed up, then every prompt compared across towns and barangays. When transcription is typed by hand, the comparison starts weeks after the final session.
- Twelve hours of audio before analysis starts
- Documenter notes that vary from site to site
- Answers to the same prompt at different times in each file
- Hiligaynon side remarks left out of the notes
- Quotes without a time to verify them
- A matrix filled from memory
✓ From transcripts here
Each session lands in the same structure, so the matrix fills from text, and every cell can link to a timestamp in the source recording.
- Every session back within minutes of upload
- Chapters per prompt for side-by-side reading
- A summary of agreements per group
- Lines quoted under each participant's name
- Guide questions answered, each with a time
- JSON or DOCX for your analysis

FAQ
Hiligaynon FGD transcription, answered.
How long does each FGD take?
Around 4 minutes for two hours, meaning six sessions add up to roughly 24 minutes of processing.
What does a six-site study cost?
Six sessions of 120 minutes are 720 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. A single pilot session fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes. Credits never expire.
How accurate is it on Hiligaynon?
The main language is detected automatically, and English answers come back cleanly. The Hiligaynon passages are where your review pass goes, mostly for place names and terms specific to the community. A documenter who was in the room is the best person to do that pass, since they remember the context.
Do I need to split a session that ran long?
No. Keep it whole up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file. Before the first pack, the upload limit is 2 GB, and a larger file starts once a pack is on the account.
Are participants identified?
Participants are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters once the facilitator uses their names. Each transcript line has a timestamp to check a quote against the recording.
Which exports are there, and how is the recording handled?
Five formats: TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, with JSON keeping the timestamps for any script you write. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
