Interview transcription, built out of the same frustration.
verbatim.id started with transcribing thesis interviews by hand: hours for a single recording while the deadline kept getting closer.
Verbatim done properly
More than a transcript. Fillers, timed pauses, and repetitions are written down, the way Indonesian qualitative methodology expects.
Priced for students
Pay once by QRIS, in Rupiah, with no credit card and no automatic charges. Prices are set with a student budget in mind.
Recordings stay in your account
Recordings are stored in your account so you can replay them in the editor and match them against a Verification Report. You can delete them at any time, and the related reports stop being valid.
The transcription problem we want to solve
Many Indonesian undergraduate and graduate theses use qualitative methods, and that research usually starts with interviews. Many students still transcribe those interviews by hand, which takes several hours for every hour of recording.
Transcription services exist, but most are priced in foreign currencies and are not built around the verbatim conventions Indonesian academic work asks for. Researchers who handle sensitive interview data also need to know how their recordings are kept.
verbatim.id is here to close that gap: transcription for Bahasa Indonesia that understands academic verbatim, is affordable, and lets you check every flagged word against the audio.
