You’ll want to get in quick too because I am planning our biannual price rise of at least 5% for late October/early November and if you book now even for upcoming projects you’ll lock in current prices AND get to spend your research budget on services with a social impact

Pretty great, huh?

AI transcripts may be fast, but speed isn’t the same as accuracy. As Kavin Gannon reminds us, AI literacy is incredibly important because AI makes mistakes - a lot of them. Human transcription services, such as those provided by AAT, ensure that context and nuance aren’t lost.

Unlike many competitors we don’t use AI as part of our processes; in fact we’re insistent that there’s still a need for fully human-based workflows (even if we resent that we need to stipulate such a category to start with)

There’s a lot of insightful replies in this thread started by our lead chaos goblin (official job title) and founder, @zaranosaur.bsky.social.

What do you think? Whether in academia or elsewhere, what are the top 3 things you wish people knew about disability, access and ableism?

Dr Zara Bain @zaranosaur.bsky.social · 17d

So this week's reflections on @aat-transcribes.bsky.social upcoming newsletter have me thinking about what I wish my colleagues, students, supervisors, and the wider research community knew at the start of a new academic year about disability, accessibility and ableism.
