Qualitative work produces hours of audio. Coding themes and pulling evidence is faster when every interview is text you can search. Simple Scribe helps researchers turn field recordings and focus groups into organized, timestamped transcripts.
Built for research workflows
Transcribe interviews and group sessions at scale
Keep a searchable library across a study
Jump to moments with timestamps while coding
Export DOCX or TXT for analysis tools and archives
Focus groups and multi-speaker sessions
Speaker labels help you follow who contributed which idea. Synced playback lets you return to ambiguous lines and check the original audio before you code a theme.
Use AI carefully as a research assistant
Ask for tentative themes or a session overview, then verify every claim against the transcript and recording. The assistant cites timestamps so you can audit suggestions before they enter your analysis.
Always follow your IRB and consent requirements for recording, storage, and sharing participant data.
