For researchers

Transcribe interviews and focus groups for research

Turn qualitative interviews, focus groups and field recordings into accurate, searchable, quotable text you can code and cite.

Analysis starts after the transcript

Qualitative work lives or dies on the transcript: you cannot code, theme or quote what is still audio. Typing it out is hours per interview, and a study can run to dozens. Verbatext gives you accurate, timestamped text in minutes, so you spend your time on analysis, not transcription.

What you get on every interview

One upload, the full package.

Accurate transcript

Clean, punctuated, timestamped text from interviews, focus groups and field audio.

Summary & themes

A summary plus the topics and key moments to orient your coding.

Quotable passages

Notable lines linked to their timestamp, so you can verify and cite exactly.

Fully searchable

Search across a transcript with keyword highlighting to find every mention of a term.

Export for analysis

TXT and JSON exports to bring into your coding or analysis workflow.

Private by default

Every transcript is private to your account unless you choose to share it.

Upload your recordings

Upload audio or video from any recorder or meeting tool, or paste a direct link. Batch a whole study with up to 50 files at once.

Plans that fit how you work

A subscription gives you a monthly pool of minutes, several recordings processing at once for fieldwork weeks, and the lowest per-minute price. 1 minute of audio is 1 credit. Minutes never expire.

Questions

How accurate is it for research interviews?

About 98% on clear audio with Whisper large-v3 and an AI cleanup pass. Noisy field recordings and heavy crosstalk lower it, as with any tool, so a quick proofread is wise for verbatim quotes.

Does it label who is speaking?

Not yet. Today you get clean, timestamped text; per-speaker labeling (diarization) is on the roadmap. Many researchers add speaker tags during their coding pass.

Is my data private?

Yes. Transcripts are private to your account by default and are only shared if you create a link yourself.

Can I export to my analysis tool?

Yes. Export plain TXT or structured JSON to bring transcripts into your coding or analysis workflow.
