Transcribe thesis interviews for the appendix and the coding.
A one-hour thesis interview in English or Taglish comes back as text in about 2 minutes, and a two-hour one in about 4. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers eight one-hour interviews.
What a thesis interview gives you
The verbatim text for the appendix and a head start on the themes for chapter four.
Verbatim, with times
Every line of the transcript carries its timestamp, which panels like when they ask where a quote came from. Respondents' Taglish answers stay as they were said, so your appendix reads like the interview did.
Mark the turns yourself
The summary, key quotes and chapters identify the respondent and interviewer by name. The line-by-line text has no interviewer and respondent tags, so add those in the DOCX if your format requires them; it is a quick pass for a two-person interview.
Themes before you code
The brief gives the thesis and takeaways of each interview and the questions it answers. Read it across all your respondents and the first draft of your themes starts to show before formal coding.
A whole sample on one pack
Eight interviews of 60 minutes use 480 minutes and fit the $6 pack. Twelve interviews of 90 minutes use 1,080 minutes and fit the $12 pack of 2,000. Credits never expire, so a delayed interview schedule costs nothing.
Why thesis transcription drags
Transcribing is the step that stalls most qualitative theses.
✗ Typing every answer
An hour of interview takes several hours to type, and Taglish slows it further.
- Four to six hours of typing per interview
- Paying per page for a transcriber
- Free tools that stop at 30 minutes
- Captions apps that drop Filipino words
- No timestamps for the panel
- Interviews piling up before the deadline
✓ A draft per interview in minutes
You check and format instead of typing.
- About 2 minutes per interview hour
- Taglish kept as spoken
- Timestamps on every line
- Respondent named in the summary and quotes
- DOCX for the appendix
- Delete the audio when you are done

FAQ
Thesis interview transcription, answered.
How long does a thesis interview take to transcribe?
About 2 minutes for a one-hour interview and about 4 for two hours, at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour.
What do all my interviews cost?
Eight 1-hour interviews use 480 minutes and fit the $6 pack of 500. Twelve 90-minute interviews use 1,080 minutes and fit the $12 pack of 2,000. The first 20 minutes of your first recording are free, with no subscription.
Do I need to cut a long interview into parts?
No. A file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB, and before the first pack uploads up to 2 GB go through. A two-hour voice recording is a small fraction of that.
Will it handle Taglish answers?
Yes. A respondent who moves between English and Tagalog mid-answer is handled, and you pick no language beforehand. If a respondent spoke a regional language such as Cebuano, treat those passages as a fast first draft and plan one review pass.
Which formats are there, and is my respondents' data safe?
Your appendix can start from the DOCX, and TXT, SRT, VTT and JSON come from the same run. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Delete a recording and its transcript at any time, which helps if your ethics protocol sets a retention period.
Is the transcript ready to paste into my appendix as is?
Close to it. Read it once against the audio, add interviewer and respondent tags if your format needs them, and correct names and places. That is a much shorter job than typing.
