TranscribeMe + NVivo 11 for Windows Walkthrough

By October 26, 2015October 4th, 2022No Comments

Do you analyze research videos using NVivo 11 for Windows? If so, NVivo, provides dynamic tools that allow you to quickly reference specific segments of your media files from text transcripts.

Now that TranscribeMe and NVivo have teamed up, ordering these transcripts is easier than ever before. Transcripts can be ordered directly through your NVivo project and will be delivered to the same place upon completion.

Please note NVivo 11 Starter does not integrate with TranscribeMe, due to audio and video files not being supported by that product; more information on the differences between NVivo 11 Starter and NVivo 11 for Windows can be found here.

This blog post will walk you through the process of purchasing transcripts of your media files through NVivo 11 for Windows.
