How often, and in what ways, are disabled people included in research -- especially as researchers, not just as participants, or subjects? And what can researchers do about it? This York Uni toolkit might help.

In black text with a yellow highlight, the text reads: What does the 'R' in our signature PRINCIPLED framework stand for?

We're research specialists. Most of our team have a Master's degree or above, with around a third of our team having PhDs or doctoral training.

We're proud that our clients find the quality of our work 'consistently excellent', and they appreciate our commitment to facilitating accessibility and inclusion through transcription and captioning.

Screenshot testimonial reads: "Q: Would you recommend AAT's services to others seeking transcription or closed caption services? Why or why not? A: Yes. Definitely. AAT is great to work with, the team is knowledgeable and collaborative, and the standard of captioning and transcription has been consistently excellent. I also think that AAT are facilitating an ethical approach to providing accessibility accommodations, by providing fairly paid work for disabled people."

(A quick heads up that the graphic says that the Tuesday sessions are on the third Tuesday of the month; this October, it's on the second, because we were one day out! And we can't reschedule it due to conflicting commitments. But going forward they will be! Thanks for understanding.)

Colonial and imperial research institutions are notorious for disrespecting indigenous peoples, including ancestral remains and cultural belongings.

The Homebound Project seeks to correct that.

Our client observed that "participants put so much faith in us as researchers to authentically represent their lives and stories" that transcription can be "an important way to honor" that trust. That's why it matters to us to treat data with respect, and create transcripts you can trust.

Screenshot of a client testimonial which reads: 

1. What led you to book transcription or closed caption services with AAT? 

I was looking for professional quality transcriptions for a qualitative research study on educational equity. Our research participants put so much faith in us as researchers to authentically represent their lives and stories. I've come to think of transcription as an important way to honour participants, especially when studying sensitive and personal narratives. AAT takes that seriously and puts so much effort into creating high-quality transcriptions of interview conversations. I appreciate the detail, confidentiality and respect that AAT practices in all their work.

While DIY data transcription can be great for immersing yourself in the data, it isn't always feasible given everyone's access needs or capacity. See how our services might support your workflow with 15 minutes transcribed for free with your first 60-minutes of audio. Follow the QR code to book.
