Deutsch Our customers include some of the largest market research firms in Europe and some global players. Data privacy, objectivity, precision faced with tight delivery schedules, and a fair cost structure are important to you. We can offer you all of that.
Focus group discussions (FGDs) with ten participants, interviews (IDIs) with simultaneous interpretation, or surveys with several thousand responses – we transcribe, code and translate at your tempo and under flexible conditions.
You need support with long-term projects or large volumes of work? We’re especially good at these. We’re well connected and work in a range of different languages.
It’s a given, of course, that your assignment will be completed by native speakers. Our recruitment management takes care of that.
Our bilingual transcription service covers two bases at once, saving you time and money: a Frenchman speaks about his first outing in the new car; we listen in French and write in English. Just like that.
We know that the fruit of our labours won’t necessarily stay within your office, but may be forwarded by you to the end customer. We won’t let you down – we’ll make sure you keep your deadlines and have quality work to deliver. Never fear.
Here are the areas where we support our market research customers:
Translation of survey questionnaires or interview guides for your fieldwork into any language.
Voice-over - we convert text into speech. We execute voice-over projects for survey respondents that cannot read, for instance, audio avatar-web-based surveys among children.
Transcription of in-depth interviews (IDI) and group discussion (GD). Summaries of interviews.
Bilingual transcription of interviews straight into the target language (simple, fast 1-step process).
Coding of responses to open-ended questions in Excel or SPSS or your preferred software. Coding of interviews in MAXQDA.
Translation of final presentations for the end-client. Translation of survey results into another language. Retranslation of selected open-ended question responses for the presentation.
Anonymisation - our proofreaders anonymise your files and ensure that personal data disappears from the screen.
