Are the recordings difficult to hear or understand?*

Broadcast Quality – BBC News quality. No extra time or resources needed

Faint/some background noise – Typist will need to listen several times to some passages in order to decipher the recording

Very faint/frequent background noise – Typist will need to listen many times to some passages in order to decipher the recording

De-identify participants to protect privacy/anonymity*

Yes – best practice

De-Identification Instructions

Please describe what “identifiers” you want to be removed (e.g. personal names, business names), and what you want them replaced with (e.g. Respondent, initials, random code).

English Second Language Speakers / Accents / Speech Difficulty*

For a variety of reasons, speakers can be hard to understand. Strong regional accents, English as a second language, or simply just speaking fast can mean the typist has to slow the audio down, and replay passages to decipher what is being said. The rate that we charge you must reflect this additional time.
