[Linganth] Recommendations for tools transcribing and analyzing large amounts of data

[Kathe Managan]

Hi Dominika,

I recently switched to Trint for a big project. It works in 40 different languages and has good accuracy. It also has robust privacy and security features.

Best,
Kathe

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking for recommendations of your favorite tool(s), at the moment, for processing large amounts of recorded spoken & written conversational data (informal interviews, free conversations), for both transcription and coding & analysis.

I have about 100 hours of digitally recorded conversations, including those among multiple speakers, with lots of simultaneous speech, two conversations going on at once, overlap, and code-switching (mostly bilingual, occasionally trilingual). I also have 13 years of written group chat conversations, which don’t need transcribing but it is over 300,000 words. I am looking for suggestions for software, online or otherwise, for both transcription (which is tricky because of the multilingual and overlapping conversations) and, more importantly, organization, coding, and analysis. It has been a while since I have dealt with THIS much data and I am sure there is a lot out there that I don’t know about - all and any suggestions of what has worked for folks are very much appreciated!

Best,
Dominika
