Transcribed using Human Ingenuity - Hi from a Human


The Hi from a Human initiative celebrates the "...endless curiosity and creativity borne of that intangible, inimitable and irreplaceable essence that we call the human spirit." The Mark of Human ingenuity "...signifies that your work has been given the care and attention that makes your creativity unique to you." Please visit their website at www.hifromahuman.com to find out more, sign the Human Ingenuity Declaration and download the mark most appropriate to you if you would also like to say, "HI! My work has been Created using Human Ingenuity."


The interview transcripts that I produce are fully human. AI systems might be able to tell you WHAT was said (or close enough), but they cannot tell you HOW it was said, an element which is essential to provide full context when representing the spoken word as text. AI systems cannot and should not try to infer human emotion simply because they are not human - they lack the human spirit.


From August 2026, my interview transcripts will be returned to clients bearing the "Transcribed by Human Ingenuity" mark, to celebrate the human listening, understanding, interpretation and translation that captures the human spirit of a spoken interview in text.
