Professional and Personalised Transcription and Proofreading Services
Since 2010, JP Academic Services has specialised in the transcription of qualitative data collected through Social Science research.
The personalised transcription service, provided to Researchers and PhD students, takes into account your project requirements, delivering accurate transcripts within agreed timeframes. Human transcription is always used, rather than automated transcription, to ensure accuracy and confidentiality.
There are concerns around the quality of AI transcription tools to accurately process accents, complex jargon, colloquial language, or poor quality audio. Further concerns relate to transcript formatting, informed consent of participants, privacy and confidentiality. If you have previously used an AI transcription tool and have been disappointed by the quality, then JP Academic Services can also provide a reformatting and editing service.
Your data will be treated with confidentiality and stored securely, before being deleted on confirmation of receipt back to the client. JP Academic Services will sign your non-disclosure agreement and work with you to agree on how files will be shared securely between both parties. JP Academic Services is currently a registered supplier at Lancaster University, the University of York, Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Gloucestershire. For other institutions, JP Academic Services will support the process of being added as a new supplier.
If you require the proofreading service, Track Changes will be used in Microsoft Word to identify and amend errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. This is a popular choice for PhD students.
