More about transcription

There are many conflicts about the concept of transcription. I think that it can be explained with subjective nature of analytical attempt and cognition pursued and conducted by researchers. For this course, I have been trying to know and learn more about the varieties and types of digital technologies and software about the constellation of qualitative inquiry. I prefer to call as constellation because it is certainly difficult to make hierarchical procedure to get into the analysis and organization of inquiry and data. In this sense, all of the general categories/concepts in research practice includes and covers the reflexivity, collaboration, literature, generating data, transcription, analyzing the data (textual, audio and video) and representing data. They are so important that each of them has its own importance and light. In other words, each one is worth to think in a theoretically and practically.

Regarding these reasons and needs, I have looked at some forums to learn and investigate the new and most preferred software programs for transcribing the data. It is obvious that Express Scribe, EureScribe, MAXQDA, HyperTRANSCRIBE, MacSpeech Scribe, Dragon Naturally Speaking, InqScribe, Enhilez Medical Transcription, VoxSigma and Listen N Write are the top-10 programs in the forums.

Including Transana, most of them are also limited and insufficient about multi languages. VoxSigma might be only one which take care of multi languages and background noise. I know that these are technical and developing features in the digital industries and enterprises. For this post, I also needed to look at two papers which are specifically about Transana (Dempster & Woods, 2011; Woods & Dempster, 2011). Both of them are written by the same writers. They were very helpful to think about the organization, idea of data, types of transcriptions, collaboration, needs and so on. I really appreciated their examples to make it understandable and usable by the real data.

What made me critical and reflexive about the fallacies of information ages is that why the time is more important things? Theoretically, it is know that ‘thinking’ calls us towards its existence (I like Heidegger in this sense). In this sense, the matter should not be related with the time limitations for transcriptions, the effort constrains for research process and other practical concerns. On the other hand, it should be about learning thinking and the horizon of our cognitive processes for the communicative transcendent and intent to reach ‘meaning’ and ‘understanding’ framed and constructed by the context of social actions.

I think that we need to comprehend the notion of transcription as action since transcription should be seen as the action which is able to ferment all positions via thinking. I can say that other technical like the data would be transferred into textual nature with the advance of technology. For example, Transcriber Pro, one of the software program, can identify the face and sequences of face changes within the data. I saw it tutorial. This is the similar idea of facebook’s tagging of photographs. It seems that we might have all the descriptive and textual nature of data with the help of digital tools. Learning ‘thinking’ seems that it is going to be Everlasting for the sake of hermeneutic – analytical science.
