AI Video Transcription Prompts for Researchers

Qualitative research requires combing through hours of recorded audio, interviews, and focus groups. Using AI transcription tools in tandem with structured LLM prompting allows researchers to analyze and tag thematic patterns in seconds.

Providing fluent and structured transcript files directly correlates with a 20% improvement in AI extraction accuracy.

Workflow to Analyze Research Transcripts

Follow this step-by-step methodology to streamline qualitative coding:

1. Transcribe raw files: Convert your qualitative interviews or lecture recordings into clean text files.
2. Download in Markdown: Export the file as a structured .md document to retain structural headings and timestamps.
3. Run thematic queries: Feed the transcript to your local or cloud LLM with specific analytical prompts.
4. Export tables: Command the AI to format extracted variables into markdown tables for reports.

Prompt Templates for Transcript Analysis

• Thematic Coding Prompt: "Analyze the following interview transcript. Extract and list all major themes discussed, citing the exact timestamp range where each theme occurs: [Paste Transcript]"
• Verbatim Quote Extraction: "Identify all instances where the speaker discusses 'methodology'. Provide the verbatim quotes and their timestamps: [Paste Transcript]"
