Market research transcription is how McGowan Transcriptions truly began when our founder Joe launched the company back in 1993. We are proud to now hold a place as a leading UK-based transcription company, providing high-quality, reliable transcription services.

Many of our UK-based transcribers also have a background in the market research industry. With a combined experience of over 850 years, our transcribers have experience in support roles, research and field before joining the team as full-time transcribers.

We can provide full verbatim research transcription service, intelligent verbatim and/or edited transcripts of focus group discussions and depth interviews.

All of our transcription services are carried out using our standard transcription templates; however, if you have specific requirements all transcriptions can be conducted using your own specified templates. See our focus group transcription service.

    Streamline Your Market Research

    Our research transcription services team understands that market research is an important component of business strategy, and provides important information to identify and analyse market needs.

    We offer:

    • Focus group transcription
    • Telephone interview transcription
    • Spoken discussion transcription
    • Interview transcription

    Focus groups, interviews and other spoken discussions are a fantastic way for companies to get to know their customers. You gather feedback, find out how your brand is perceived by your and identify new growth opportunities based on real, organic responses.

    However, having to listen to the same recording over and over again can quickly become tedious and make it difficult to gain anything meaningful from your data. This is why we provide a one-stop solution for your projects, with a fast and accurate market research transcription service.

    We want to save you the time of having to re-listen to recordings of several people all talking at the same time – converting those audio files into text so you can reference the information quickly and easily.

    This makes it simpler to collate data, carry out detailed market and competitor analysis, compile reports and really hone in on what makes your customers tick. No more listening to that same focus group over and over again!

    Simplify and streamline your market research with high quality audio and video transcription delivered with a quick turnaround time at competitive rates.
