• Focus group transcriptions can produce as many as 100 times the words of a non-group transcript.

Focus Group Transcription - Working Together

• Here are a few things that will assist us in preparing the most accurate transcripts:
• Providing names of participants - this helps us to identify speakers. Please note that this is only accurate when focus group transcriptions are prepared from video. When names are not specified, R (Response) or M (Male)/F (Female) is used as an identifier, unless otherwise specified.
• Have participants introduce themselves. This assists us in identifying voices.
• Try to repeat responses that may appear unclear or low. This is important especially when focus group participants are children.
• Once a participant has finished speaking, mention his name to reiterate who spoke (e.g., "Thank you, Peter.")
• Let us know what type of transcription (verbatim, semi-verbatim, or summary) is best for you. To find out the difference, click here.
