60% of NVivo users are spending hours manually completing their own transcription, taking vital time away from data analysis and core research. Others may enlist the help of a research assistant which can be an overwhelming, time-consuming and expensive task.
The answer is NVivo Transcription.
NVivo Transcription is a simple, cost-effective solution that offers the latest in automation technology to provide verbatim transcription.
Simply upload your audio files to the online platform and let NVivo Transcription do the rest:

Q: An institution places their order, receives the licence codes, what happens then? How do the licences get allocated to the students, how do the students access the licences?
A: Transcription is activated purely on email address so Lumivero need the email address of the people signing up for it
(NB: this information relates to licences ordered before July 2022)
Q: What happens to their licence if a student has an annual licence, then leaves the institution? Can they be re-allocated?
A: Transcription seats can’t be reallocated, and this is unlikely to change. There’s nothing technical to stop the University using a kind of ‘generic’ login (like a department email address) and giving that to multiple people. However, that would technically be in breach of their contract, but it would also leave the University exposed to a potential data breach since User B logging on would also be able to see User A’s data at that point. So Lumivero will only accept real email addresses.
(NB: this information relates to licences ordered before July 2022)
Q: What are the cost advantages of the ‘per-user’ model over the 'per-hour' model?
A: If the user uses more than 22 hours of Transcription over the course of the year, a per-user model will be the cheaper way to go.
(NB: this information relates to licences ordered before July 2022)
Q: Can Transcription be used without an NVivo licence?
A: Yes. Transcription can stand alone completely from NVivo if wanted. Lumivero are more than happy for people to use Transcription for things other than NVivo analysis. There’s a burning need for Transcription in all kinds of areas – not just Qualitative Analysis. Transcription can be accessed and used directly from the website or can be accessed via the integration within NVivo. The integration within NVivo imports the transcription in directly into NVivo already laid out in a format suitable for qualitative analysis.
Q: What's the situation re. the hosting?
A: The hosting is provided via Microsoft Azure with servers in the Netherlands and backup servers in Ireland so all EEA and all GDPR compliant.
Q: How many hours should I buy per user?
A: On the previous licensing model, Lumivero offered unlimited per user licences. This has now changed to a 'no. of hours' purchasing model. That can make it quite hard to know how many hours to buy, we put the question to Lumivero. Their response was as follows: "Over a wide range of users we're seeing an average of about 10 to 11 hours per user per project, but the individual variance can be really high; also one user may complete four projects over the course of a year so you could be looking at a lot more. We'd recommend asking potential users to estimate how much transcription they may need and then purchasing accordingly. What's more, in our experience, they always need a bit more than they think."
To that we'd add: you can always top-up at a later date if you don't order enough hours.
