Transcribe Voice Survey Responses for Research & Market Studies

Turn voice-recorded survey answers into searchable text with speaker labels and AI summaries, built for Nigerian researchers and field teams.

Field agents in Lagos traffic, market surveys in Onitsha, or a WhatsApp voice note a respondent sent instead of typing a form, voice survey data piles up fast and nobody has time to type it out one clip at a time. If you're running consumer research, NGO field studies, or political polling across Nigeria, your respondents often answer in Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, or Igbo, sometimes switching mid-sentence, and most transcription tools choke on that. Autrans transcribes each response, labels who's speaking when you've recorded a group intercept, and gives you an AI summary plus key quotes so you can spot patterns across dozens of responses without replaying every file. Export the lot to DOCX or a spreadsheet-friendly TXT and get back to analysis, not typing.

Benefits

  • Handles Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo responses without you pre-sorting by language
  • AI summary and key quotes surface recurring themes across many responses fast
  • Speaker labels separate interviewer from respondent in recorded intercepts
  • Import voice notes straight from WhatsApp if that's how your field team collects them
  • Word-level timestamps let you jump to the exact moment a respondent answered a specific question
  • Pay-per-file pricing means a small pilot study doesn't need a subscription

How it works

  1. 1Upload each voice survey response, or import them directly from WhatsApp if your field agents recorded there
  2. 2Autrans transcribes the audio and labels speakers where more than one voice is present
  3. 3Review the AI summary and key quotes to quickly see what respondents are saying
  4. 4Use custom vocabulary to lock in product names, brand terms, or local slang specific to your study
  5. 5Export individual transcripts or the full batch as TXT or DOCX for your analysis workflow

Frequently asked questions

Can Autrans transcribe survey responses recorded in Pidgin or Yoruba?

Yes. Autrans supports Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo alongside Nigerian English, so mixed-language survey audio doesn't need separate tools. Accuracy is strongest when the audio is reasonably clear, which field recordings usually are.

Can I import survey responses collected over WhatsApp voice notes?

Yes, WhatsApp voice-note import is built in, so if your field team is sending responses in as voice notes rather than uploading files directly, you can bring them into Autrans the same way.

Does Autrans analyze survey sentiment or code responses automatically?

Not as a dedicated coding tool. Autrans gives you AI summaries, topics, and key quotes per transcript, which helps you spot themes fast, but formal thematic coding is still something you or your analysis team does on the exported text.

Is respondent audio used to train Autrans's AI?

No. Audio you upload, including survey recordings, is never used to train AI models. This matters for research ethics approvals where respondent confidentiality is a condition of participation.
