Getting started with Taguette

Transcription Services

• Auto-transcription services can help save time, but the data still needs to be cleaned afterwards
• There are privacy considerations for different software that you will need to disclose to the ethics board before conducting your research. Please consult this guide: https://www.uvic.ca/research-services/ethics-and-compliance/conducting-research-virtually/index.php

Transcription Services: Ethics board guidelines

Not Cloud Based:

• Whisper.ai
• We do not need to disclose the use of Whisper.ai, as all data is processed locally on the researcher’s computer (similar to not needing to disclose the use of MS Word running on a laptop).

Cloud-Based but Hosted in Canada & UVic Licensed:

• Office 365 Transcription
• We must disclose the use of the MS Office 365 transcription on our Research Ethics applications, and participant consent form
• But if we’re using the UVic-licensed version of MS Office 365 then there is no need for a US Freedom Act disclosure as UVic pays to have our version of MS Office 365 hosted in Canada.

Transcription Services: Ethics board guidelines

Cloud-Based and Hosted in the USA:

• Otter.ai
• We must disclose the use of the Otter.ai transcription on our Research Ethics applications, and participant consent form, and include a US Freedom Act disclosure as Otter.ai data is processed and stored in the USA (at least in part).
• Zoom Transcription
• We must disclose the use of Zoom for interviews on our Research Ethics applications and on the participant consent form. The UVic-licensed version of Zoom routes all the audio and video through Canadian servers, so if you don’t use the Zoom transcription service then there is no need to include a US Freedom Act disclosure. If you use the Zoom transcription service, you must disclose its use on your Research Ethics application and participant consent form, and include a US Freedom Act disclosure as Zoom transcription data is processed and stored in the USA (at least in part).
