Abstract

Die Aufnahme und Transkription von Interviews sind zentrale, aber ressourcen- und zeitintensive Schritte in der qualitativen Sozialforschung. In Bezug darauf haben Forscher*innen verschiedene Alternativen vorgeschlagen, unter anderem automatische Transkription mithilfe von Spracherkennungsalgorithmen. Ob solche automatisch erstellten Transkripte die Qualität von durch Menschen erstellte Transkripte erreichen, ist noch unklar. In diesem Beitrag vergleichen wir systematisch mehrere automatische Transkriptionswerkzeuge: Amberscript, Dragon, F4x, Happy Scribe, NVivo, Sonix, Trint, Otter und Whisper. Wir bewerten Aspekte des Datenschutzes, der Genauigkeit, der nötigen Zeit und der Kosten anhand eines englischsprachigen und eines deutschsprachigen Interviews. Unsere Analyse ergibt, dass Whisper insgesamt am besten abschneidet und dass ähnliche lokal-automatische Transkriptionswerkzeuge in der Zukunft wahrscheinlich relevanter werden. Um höchstmögliche Genauigkeit zu erreichen, empfehlen wir ein Durchlesen des Texts für jegliche Art der Transkription. Wir stellen einen Rahmen zum Vergleich von Transkriptionswerkzeugen bereit und hoffen, einen Beitrag zur Diskussion der Brauchbarkeit von automatischer Transkription leisten zu können.
