Transcribe Your ResearchThe Researcher’s Transcription Problem
Qualitative research depends on transcripts. A single 60-minute interview generates roughly 8,000-10,000 words of text. Researchers conducting 20-30 interviews for a study face hundreds of hours of manual transcription — or thousands of dollars in outsourcing costs.
Professional transcription services for academic work cost $1.50-3.00 per minute. A study with 20 one-hour interviews runs $1,800-3,600 just for transcription. For graduate students on tight budgets, this is often prohibitive.
Verbato transcribes interviews with speaker identification, timestamps, and 99+ language support. Export to DOCX for NVivo or Atlas.ti, TXT for plain text analysis, or JSON for custom data pipelines. Unlimited transcriptions on Pro for $10/month.
