Before i transcribed each of the interviews, i checked out how much it would cost for a transcriber service, and what to expect with the level of service they provided and the costs that it would entail:
Because i had over an hours worth of interviews, and i needed my interviews transcribed as soon as possible, for me to get a next day service would of cost too much!
So instead I researched into templates; not finding anything to my liking so i created my own template.
Once i had created my template, i then began to transcribe the interviews one by one ( LOOOOOOOOONG!) Because i can almost touch type (to a degree) i watched some programs while i typed up the audio interviews, going back over them to add bits that i might of missed out or correct spelling mistakes.
However the good thing with doing this is i saved myself loooads of money! Because, the interviewees did stumble up quiet a few times on some of their answers; having not being used to getting interviewed, also, i was able to cut out a lot of answers that i thought were not necessary, or were no good, only keeping in answers that i thought were useful; certain times putting multiple timestamps on on a question that the interviewee might of given multiple answers.
Here is the final result in this blog post:
Interviews and transcriptions
