Transcription of qualitative interviews - which program?

[Adelaide9216]

Hello!
 

Which program do you use for transcribing qualitative interviews? I am looking for cheap options.

 

Thank you

Hello, 

I use ExpressScribe on my laptop. It's user-friendly and free!

I use inqscribe's free version.

Well, I will have about 12 hours of interviews/focus groups to transcribe. How long do you think that is going to take me? 48 hours?

I believe it took me an average of about 4 hours to transcribe one 1-hr interview. My times varied somewhat depending on how clearly and how quickly the informants spoke, but I think 48 hours is a reasonable estimate of time.

Hello, silly question but do you always have to type the verbatim of the entire interviews? Are they methodologies that suggest listening to the audio tape and selecting only the most interesting parts of it ? Because I have for like 50 hours of transcription
