Qualitative interview transcription

Export DOCX and import it as a document source — all three programs read it directly, and timestamps in the text survive the trip so you can jump back to the audio moment a code refers to. Plain TXT works too if your project prefers minimal formatting.

Edit identifying names directly in the transcript before exporting — corrections propagate to every export. Renaming diarized speakers to "P1", "P2" takes seconds, on any plan.

Accents transcribe well with modern models. For jargon-heavy interviews, add your key terms (drug names, theory terms, place names) to the custom vocabulary box before uploading — it measurably boosts their recognition.

If interviews average an hour, that's ~40 hours of audio. Pro ($19/month, 20 hours per 30 days) covers it across two cycles, or Business ($79/month, 100 hours) in one — pennies against a transcription bureau's $1.50+/minute.
