Qualitative Research Transcription & Market Research Transcription Services

We provide accurate, confidential transcription services for qualitative and market research projects, including one-to-one interviews and multi-participant focus groups. We understand how critical it is to capture meaning, nuance, and context when analysing research data — not just words.

Our experienced UK-based team works carefully to ensure that every transcript reflects exactly what was said and intended, giving you a reliable written record for robust qualitative analysis.

Flexible Speaker Identification & Anonymisation

We can format transcripts to suit your research requirements, including:

  • Participant names (first name or full name)

  • Fully anonymised transcripts

  • Gender-based speaker labelling (e.g. FS1, FS2, MS1)

  • Numerical speaker identification for focus groups

This flexibility supports ethical research practices and participant confidentiality.

NVivo-Ready & Qualitative Analysis Friendly

All transcripts are produced in a clear, consistent format and are suitable for use with qualitative data analysis software such as NVivo.

Our formatting supports:

  • Easy importing into analysis software

  • Efficient coding and thematic analysis

  • Accurate handling of complex, multi-speaker discussions

When working on ongoing or multi-phase research projects, we also retain project-specific terminology, jargon, and acronyms, ensuring consistency across datasets.

Client Testimonials

“We have worked with Fiona at Outsource Typing for a number of years and she does all of our transcription work including individual interviews and focus groups. We have used a number of transcription agencies in the past — Fiona is the best by some way. The quality of her work is excellent and she always delivers on time. She really listens to what we need and adds value to our organisation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fiona — she’s a gem.”

“Fiona and her team are excellent at transcribing one-to-one interviews and focus groups. They accurately capture dialogue between multiple participants and always meet their turnaround times. They quickly take on board project-specific jargon and acronyms, which makes a real difference when working on research programmes.”
