At "Love Data Week 2025", we will be offering HeFDI Data Infosnacks during the lunch break. In these short, 15-20 minute online information sessions we provide information about our offers and services around research data and code management. Of course, we will be happy to take your questions. Our Infosnacks are for free and fully virtual.
Love Data Week is an international celebration of data, taking place every year during the week of Valentine's day.

Transcribing interview recordings is a necessary but tedious step in many qualitative research projects. AI-supported speech recognition promised to facilitate this, but was often expensive and/or questionable in terms of data protection.
This changed when OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, published an open-source AI model for speech recognition that is one of the best currently available in the field. It is free and, above all, can run locally on your own computer. Sensitive audio recordings must no longer be uploaded to the cloud.
My software "noScribe", also available free and open source, is based on this AI model and specifically tailored to the transcription of qualitative interviews . In the workshop, I will demonstrate this software and discuss possibilities and limitations of AI-supported transcriptions in qualitative social research.
