Transcription for research interviews, focus groups and fieldwork.

Fieldwork in local languages produces hours of recordings and a long wait for transcripts. ADB Voices transcribes and translates them, masks phone numbers and ID numbers, and charges by the minute from a prepaid balance that does not expire.

Questions

Do unused minutes expire?

No. Prepaid minutes stay on your balance until you use them.

Can I anonymise participants?

Partly. PII redaction masks emails, phone numbers and ID numbers. Names stay, so remove them by hand before publishing.

What does it cost for a grant budget?

$0.30 per hour of audio, with bigger top-ups earning bonus minutes. Start with 1 free hour.
