The Data Is in the Audio. It Takes Weeks to Extract It.

Without Perceive8

Manual transcription, post-it note coding, and weeks of analysis. Research insights arrive too late to be useful.

  • Manual transcription takes 4x the recording time
  • Theme coding is slow and subjective
  • Cross-interview patterns are hard to spot
  • Quotes are buried in hundreds of pages
  • Research takes weeks instead of days

Study: Q1 User Experience Research
Participants: 25
Total Audio: 18.5 hours

Executive Summary: Users value the data but struggle with the interface. 72% fall back to spreadsheets for daily tasks. The #1 requested change is a simplified daily view.

Key Recommendations:
1. Create a "Today" view with top 3 action items
2. Redesign onboarding (interactive, not video)
3. Fix mobile app (11/25 cited as unusable)
4. Add "quick mode" for power users
