Speak for Qualitative Research

Research interview transcription that turns into insight

Q: What is research interview transcription?

Research interview transcription converts recorded interviews into searchable text so you can code, analyze, and report findings. Speak pairs transcription with automated analysis so you can move from transcript to insight faster.

Q: How do I transcribe research interviews in Speak?

Upload audio or video, record directly in the Speak web app, or use the Meeting Assistant for Zoom/Meet/Teams/Webex. Speak generates a transcript, then you can analyze the file or a whole folder.

Q: How accurate is Speak’s interview transcription?

Accuracy depends on audio quality, accents, and overlap. With clear audio, many teams see 95%+ accuracy and strong speaker separation for multi-speaker interviews.

Q: Does Speak support multilingual interview transcription?

Yes. Speak supports 100+ languages, which is helpful for global studies, bilingual research, and interviews across multiple regions.

Q: Can I analyze multiple interviews across a study?

Yes. Organize interviews into folders and analyze across the dataset to spot recurring themes, compare cohorts, track keywords, and accelerate synthesis.

Q: Can I export transcripts and structured outputs?

Yes. Export doc-ready transcripts, captions (SRT/VTT), and structured data (CSV) for reporting, archiving, and downstream workflows.

Q: Is Speak pay-as-you-go, or subscription?

Both. Start with a trial, then choose a subscription or pay-as-you-go depending on how many interviews you run each month.

Q: Can I try research interview transcription for free?

Yes. Start a 7-day trial. Trial minutes are based on email type: 30 minutes for personal email and 30 minutes for work email.
