Abstract
Transforming spoken words into written text in qualitative research is a
vital step in familiarizing and immersing oneself in the data. We share
a three-step approach of how data transcription facilitated an
interpretative act of analysis in a study using qualitative data
collection methods on the barriers and facilitators of HIV testing and
treatment in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
