Transcripts are working documents, designed to be read, analysed and coded as part of your research. That's why we ensure that all inaudible or unclear audio is marked clearly and consistently, so you can tell at a glance what needs further attention.

We're proud that our clients find the quality of our work 'consistently excellent', and they appreciate our commitment to facilitating accessibility and inclusion through transcription and captioning.

Screenshot testimonial reads: "Q: Would you recommend AAT's services to others seeking transcription or closed caption services? Why or why not? A: Yes. Definitely. AAT is great to work with, the team is knowledgeable and collaborative, and the standard of captioning and transcription has been consistently excellent. I also think that AAT are facilitating an ethical approach to providing accessibility accommodations, by providing fairly paid work for disabled people."

Our client observed that "participants put so much faith in us as researchers to authentically represent their lives and stories" that transcription can be "an important way to honor" that trust. That's why it matters to us to treat data with respect, and create transcripts you can trust.

Screenshot of a client testimonial which reads:

1. What led you to book transcription or closed caption services with AAT?

I was looking for professional quality transcriptions for a qualitative research study on educational equity. Our research participants put so much faith in us as researchers to authentically represent their lives and stories. I've come to think of transcription as an important way to honour participants, especially when studying sensitive and personal narratives. AAT takes that seriously and puts so much effort into creating high-quality transcriptions of interview conversations. I appreciate the detail, confidentiality and respect that AAT practices in all their work.

Everything we do is built around supporting research with marginalised communities, and prioritising creating flexible, accessible remote work for disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent freelancers--and it's a big reason why clients choose us over the competition.

Screenshot of a client testimonial which reads:

2. Was booking with AAT useful to your project, and if so, how?
Yes, extremely useful, and another reason why I booked as the ethos of AAT and my project align around disability and neurodiversity access and inclusion -- particularly on flexible working and wanting to amplify intersectional perspectives in research and the transcription process. The latter is something that I haven't come across before elsewhere, which I think gives AAT a unique selling point.

Screenshot of a client testimonial which reads:

Thank you so much, Zara, you handheld me though all the initial stages dealing with my poor understanding and once done, the transcription process was so simple. This has been such a superb experience.

I will send an email to the Head of Research, who sent your original email around the cohort advertising your services, to tell them how amazing you have been.
