Our services transformed the workflow of clients researching the lives and experiences of people with speech differences through high-quality transcripts rooted in an understanding of disability justice. #ClientTestimonial
Client testimonial for AAT. Black text on a white blob against an orange background, with the company logo in the bottom right corner and an open double quotation mark in teal blue top left. Text reads: "I often conduct research with people with speech differences. Because AAT is rooted in disabled community and offers a 'complex' rate for transcriptions that allows transcribers to spend more time with the audio, the quality of the interview transcripts I received was far and away the best I have seen from professional services."

The DWP's own 'Triggers to claiming PIP' report conflicts with popular misrepresentations of the benefit. The average claimant has been painted in the media as unfairly accessing support they do not need, when in fact 'most people relied on multiple carers' www.gov.uk/government/p...
Key messages: • Claimants are continuing to present with a wide range of conditions. • Poor mental health was prevalent, and most people relied on multiple carers. • People were recently made aware of PIP through their contact with formal services including Jobcentre Plus. • Main triggers for PIP application were health deterioration, financial hardship and employment concerns. Individuals may have been previously eligible, however their claim was triggered by a recent decay in circumstances. • Individuals were keen to receive validation of their disabled status and saw PIP as a means to achieve this. • Most individuals cited financial support as the driving ‘purpose’ of PIP. • People cited daily living, utilities, household costs and transport as their intended uses for PIP. • The process of form filling, health assessment, and corresponding wait times provoked anxiety.

Report by @healthfoundation.bsky.social finds that disability benefit reforms will create negative health impacts that will make it even harder for unemployed claimants to find work, all while bringing 250,000 people (including 50,000 children) into relative poverty www.health.org.uk/features-and...
Screenshot of a paragraph from the article: Restricting PIP eligibility risks reducing people’s ability to work. Although just over a quarter of PIP recipients say they could return to work if their health improved, estimates suggest additional spend on employment programmes would support only 70,000 people into work over the next 4 years – substantially fewer than the 800,000 estimated to lose PIP entitlement. Given existing geographic concentrations of people claiming disability benefits, higher rates of major illness and fewer economic opportunities, the reforms are likely to reinforce existing inequalities.

A study of Black and minority ethnic frontline workers highlights the benefits of remote working, but barriers remain:

AAT provides fully remote transcription work for disabled freelancers. Get in touch to book our services: academicaudiotranscription.com
Quote from article that reads: Autonomy has been shown to reduce stress, increase job satisfaction, and improve overall performance. ‘Autonomy relieves a lot of pressure as a parent because you're not thinking about the “what ifs?”, said one participant. Being trusted to manage her own time enabled her to focus more fully on work tasks, ultimately making her more productive and engaged. However, autonomy remains in short supply, particularly for Black and minority ethnic frontline workers who face additional barriers when asserting their needs. Without trust and an organisational culture that values flexibility, they, in particular, remain trapped in rigid structures.

A side-by-side comparison of an auto-generated transcript and a human-generated AAT caption. There is a large cross underneath the auto-generated transcript, indicating that it is incorrect. It reads, very hardy bigotries. There is a large tick underneath the human-generated caption, indicating that it is correct. It reads, very high dignitaries. A quote next to the captions reads, I’ve used low-quality automated transcription services before, and they just don’t measure up. With AAT, the material was ready to use upon delivery, which was a huge help! Quote is attributed to Cassius Adair, Assistant Professor at The new School & AAT client.
