The ScHARR Transcribers Group (STG)
ScHARR has a team of staff members who are able to transcribe interviews, focus group discussions etc on a freelance basis. Each has completed Information Governance training and works to a set of guidelines approved by the ScHARR Information Governance Committee.
The cost of the transcription service is very competitive and an added advantage is that researchers can be in direct and personal contact with the transcriber or transcribers working on their project.
All those conducting research interviews and running focus groups should ensure they follow the Audio / video recordings guidelines in the ScHARR IG Policy Section 3.
Anyone wanting to make use of this service should first read the Guidelines for Allocators, then email the STG group administrators with the following details:
- Number of recordings
- Length of each recording
- Suggested deadline
- If you have a preferred transcriber
Further details should be provided to the transcriber using the form provided in the Guidelines.
