Qualitative research can seem like a daunting task. Each researcher who undertakes this methodology has to go through the extra mile of conducting interviews to make the research more resourceful.
The information the researcher receives using qualitative data (interviews, observations, etc.) would be from the primary source and, therefore, would yield more accurate results.

The best way to use these interviews is by getting them transcribed by hiring professional transcription services. Repeatedly listening to the recorded audio is time-consuming & tedious. Getting the text version of the interview is always advisable before writing a research article. This will result in an accurate & efficient result.

Why Transcription Services? 

Hiring experienced interview transcription services would be the best for market research firms, students or scholars. These services accurately transcribe the information from interviews, focus groups, etc., to the point of even documenting pauses, hesitations, laughter, etc. 

Without transcription of the recordings, it would lead to the researcher losing track of particular data and thus having to go back all over again to access one piece of information. Transcription also allows the interviewer or researcher to go back and note down any missed aspects or write down their observations. It can be an effective tool to structure and write the final research article well.

How Do Researchers Analyse Interviews & How Can Transcription Help?

There can be different ways using which a research article can be analyzed and written using transcribed interviews:

1. Thematic analysis

This is the most common method of conducting research of qualitative nature as the researchers might read and re-read the interviews and mark specific codes and labels. They would be searching for certain recurring themes or broader patterns that are meaningful in their repeated reading. A written form of interviews would be a great tool to identify and write down research findings in this scenario.

2. Narrative analysis

Another approach that is becoming increasingly popular is used to make sense of the stories transcribed in the interviews. The transcription would provide an easy way to go over the narrative repeatedly to be able to analyze them accurately. Comparing, finding similarities or differences, or looking for interpretations becomes more manageable when the data is in hand.

3. Deductive analysis 

This approach calls for the researcher to analyze the interviews based on a certain predetermined framework. Having a written document of the data would make it easier to structure and analyze the data.
