A meme of a business man in shirtsleeves and a tie and slacks, sitting in a large yellow inflatable donut, wearing diving flippers, typing on a laptop while in the middle of a pool. The top text reads 'oh I'll just use an AI transcription tool'. The bottom text reads 'me enjoying my summer of editing.

Our clients say... "AAT... puts so much effort into creating high-quality transcriptions... I appreciate the detail, confidentiality and respect that AAT practices in all their work."

Screenshot of client email which reads: "I was looking for professional quality transcriptions for a qualitative research study on educational equity. Our research participants put so much faith in us as researchers to authentically represent their lives and stories. I've come to think of transcription as an important way to honour participants, especially when studying sensitive and personal narratives. AAT takes that seriously and puts so much effort into creating high-quality transcriptions of interview conversations. I appreciate the detail, confidentiality and respect that AAT practices in all their work."

A meme of two side-by-side pics of the same chihuahua, with a white body, tan ears and eyes, and a pink harness. In the first pic, the chihuahua is ready to rip something apart, with the caption 'thinking about how I'm going to turn my interview data into something I can analyse, code and publish'. In the second pic, the chihuahua smiles sweetly to camera, with the caption 'thinking about the analysis-ready transcripts delivered straight to my inbox while I caught up on other work'.

A meme which reads "Hey do you need transcripts of your research interviews?", "Yeah sure, I'm just going to get the AI to do it." Okay well we're here if you need any help with that." Below sits two images, one is a grey string mop head leaning against the wall, the other is a wet dog with similar stringy fur standing in the sea. The implication is that the AI transcript will be to a good transcript as a wet mop is as a rendering of a wet dog.

summarise your experiences working with
AAT?

Overall, I had a wonderful experience working AAT. From communication with the team, and the quality of the transcripts. I also deeply appreciate the discount for marginalized researchers. This is not only appreciated, but very impactful-especially for someone like myself, who does qualitative research, which presents its own challenges.

Supporting researchers with their own access needs is an important part of our social mission, as this client experienced.

Screenshot of client testimonial, which reads: 3. Did working with AAT help you improve accessibility directly or indirectly, and if so, how? All stages have been incredibly clear and easy to follow. As someone who is a dyspraxic researcher I find this enables my ability to access to engage with the process. I've always been able to get a relatively prompt response from a member of the AAT team via email on any questions, follow-up requests, or other queries. I found everyone to be friendly and helpful via email exchanges. Uploading and downloading recording and or documents from the server has been very easy and straightforward.

Our clients say... "Working with AAT was incredibly useful for my project. I appreciated the level of detail, care and effort that went into the transcription...".

Screenshot which reads: 2. Was booking with AAT useful to your project,
and if so, how? Working with AAT was incredibly useful for my project. I appreciated the level of detail, care and effort that went into the transcription. For example, I am located in the United States, and some of the transcribers accurately
named the places that were mentioned in the transcripts-I was quite appreciative and impressed by this. I also received transcripts in a timely manner, which was also appreciated, and incredibly helpful to me as I worked with a team of research assistants for this project.

The DWP's own 'Triggers to claiming PIP' report conflicts with popular misrepresentations of the benefit. The average claimant has been painted in the media as unfairly accessing support they do not need, when in fact 'most people relied on multiple carers' www.gov.uk/government/p...

Key messages:
• Claimants are continuing to present with a wide range of conditions.
• Poor mental health was prevalent, and most people relied on multiple carers.
• People were recently made aware of PIP through their contact with formal services including Jobcentre Plus.
• Main triggers for PIP application were health deterioration, financial hardship and employment concerns. Individuals may have been previously eligible, however their claim was triggered by a recent decay in circumstances.
• Individuals were keen to receive validation of their disabled status and saw PIP as a means to achieve this.
• Most individuals cited financial support as the driving ‘purpose’ of PIP.
• People cited daily living, utilities, household costs and transport as their intended uses for PIP.
• The process of form filling, health assessment, and corresponding wait times provoked anxiety.

Report by @healthfoundation.bsky.social finds that disability benefit reforms will create negative health impacts that will make it even harder for unemployed claimants to find work, all while bringing 250,000 people (including 50,000 children) into relative poverty www.health.org.uk/features-and...

Screenshot of a paragraph from the article: Restricting PIP eligibility risks reducing people’s ability to work. Although just over a quarter of PIP recipients say they could return to work if their health improved, estimates suggest additional spend on employment programmes would support only 70,000 people into work over the next 4 years – substantially fewer than the 800,000 estimated to lose PIP entitlement. Given existing geographic concentrations of people claiming disability benefits, higher rates of major illness and fewer economic opportunities, the reforms are likely to reinforce existing inequalities.

A study of Black and minority ethnic frontline workers highlights the benefits of remote working, but barriers remain: www.runnymedetrust.org/blog/wellbei... AAT provides fully remote transcription work for disabled freelancers. Get in touch to book our services: academicaudiotranscription.com

Quote from article that reads: Autonomy has been shown to reduce stress, increase job satisfaction, and improve overall performance. ‘Autonomy relieves a lot of pressure as a parent because you're not thinking about the “what ifs?”, said one participant. Being trusted to manage her own time enabled her to focus more fully on work tasks, ultimately making her more productive and engaged.

However, autonomy remains in short supply, particularly for Black and minority ethnic frontline workers who face additional barriers when asserting their needs. Without trust and an organisational culture that values flexibility, they, in particular, remain trapped in rigid structures.
