Tips

Audio files

  • Save your audio file under common formats such as mp4
  • Recommended: if the moderator/interviewew is the first person heard in the audio, speaker A is always the moderator/interviewer. This helps filtering data better
  • For improving transcription quality, make sure people do not speak over each other when recording the audio

Image files

  • Save your image file under common formats such as jpg
  • Avoid using low quality or very blurry images
  • There is no need to use super high quality images either
