Focus Group Transcription
Upload an audio or video recording of a focus group — AI turns the discussion into text with separated participants and timestamps for analysis and coding.
Focus group transcription — text with separated participants
Transcribing a focus group to text is needed by market, UX, and social researchers: a group discussion has to become text so you can analyze responses, find insights, and quote participants in a report. DictAI recognizes the speech from a focus-group recording and returns ready text — upload an audio or video file of the session or paste a link, and the AI turns the discussion into text automatically.
The main challenge of a focus group is many voices: a moderator and several participants, with lines overlapping and interrupting each other. The AI labels the text by speaker (diarization), so you can see who said what and the responses don't merge into one stream. Timestamps tie each line to a moment in the recording — handy to revisit a live reaction to a specific question. Recognition works in 35+ languages.
Both audio and video are supported: a recording from a recorder or a camera (MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4), as well as links from 1,000+ platforms if the group ran online (Zoom and others). The finished text is edited in the browser — handy to label participant roles — and exported to TXT, DOCX, or PDF for further coding and analysis. For long sessions an AI summary is available — a short digest of the key ideas (a paid-plan feature).
Transcribing a focus group saves hours of manual typing: instead of typing out a two-hour discussion by hand, the researcher works with the text right away — coding responses, spotting patterns, collecting quotes. You can start for free — 30 minutes of transcription with no card required. Accuracy depends on recording quality: the less participants talk over each other and the cleaner the sound, the more accurate the recognition and speaker labeling.

There's no limit on the number of participants. The AI labels lines by voice; on clear recordings the separation is more accurate, and with heavy overlap some fragments are worth fixing in the editor.
Yes. Upload the meeting recording (MP4, audio) or paste a link — the service extracts the audio and turns the discussion into text with speaker labels.
The text is edited in the browser and exported to TXT, DOCX, or PDF — handy to label participant roles and move the material into a coding tool.
The service gives accurate text with speaker labels and timestamps — a basis for coding. The coding and analysis itself is done by the researcher in their own tool; for long sessions an AI summary of the key ideas is available.
