- AI, Ethics Agreements & Research Ethics Committeesby Jonathan Fagan on March 6, 2026 at 9:21 am
Can we confirm that our work is 100% human and we do not use AI to produce transcriptions or translations? The answer is yes, we are 100% human and TP Transcription Limited (our company) has a strict policy on prohibiting the use of AI – both for data security and accuracy (AI has a habit of making up parts of the transcription!) – and because university ethics committees have prohibited use where personal data is involved. Our AI usage policy is available here to view. The post AI, Ethics Agreements & Research Ethics Committees appeared first on University Transcription Services.

- Human Transcription – Still Relevant?by Jonathan Fagan on February 7, 2026 at 6:44 am
We are finding time and again, that when business clients send over AI-produced transcriptions (academic clients rarely use it due to the lack of data security and institution prohibitions), the AI transcription doesn’t just contain errors, which are understandable, it also contains hallucinations and thoughts from the imagination of the AI model being used.
