The cost of manual work
40 hours of interviews
shouldn't take weeks
to transcribe.
You have already spent the time planning the research, conducting the interviews and listening to participants.
You shouldn't have to spend the next few weeks typing everything out before the real work can begin. Upload your recordings and let Umva work through them while you get on with something else.
The important part is what people told you.
The value of an interview is not the recording itself. It is the experience, opinion or story someone shared with you.
Umva takes care of more of the work around the recording so you can spend less time typing and more time listening, understanding and using what people actually said.
One place for the work after the interview
From upload to analysis — keep every stage in one place.
Turn hours of recordings into text you can read.
Upload an interview or focus group and Umva prepares the first transcript for you — keeping different speakers easy to follow throughout.

Does the first work.
Transcription, review, translation, and analysis take weeks when done by hand. Umva handles the repetitive passes — turning hours of Kinyarwanda audio into a structured, reviewable record — so you spend your time on the work only you can do.
Makes the final call.
Nothing Umva produces is final until you say it is. You bring the field context, the cultural knowledge, and the research judgement that a model cannot replicate. Every transcript, every correction, every interpretation — yours.
Built for teams that listen to people.
Research teams
Turn interviews and focus groups into work you can review together.
NGOs and development teams
Move from field conversations to reports faster.
Monitoring and evaluation teams
Work through qualitative feedback without losing the original voices.
Universities and students
Make interview-based research easier to transcribe, translate and analyse.
