Do not be fooled by companies who tell you they charge "only one cent per
word." Sure sounds like you're getting a bargain - but you aren't.
People speak about 4 to 5 times faster than an experienced transcriptionist can
type. Therefore, "one cent per word" equals:
240 words spoken per minute x $0.01 = 2.40 per minute of audio
$2.40 per minute x 60-minute audio file = $144.00 per audio hour
In general, a one-hour audio recording – which is of good sound quality and well
dictated – takes between 4 and 6 hours to transcribe. Variables such as audio
quality, number of people speaking, speed of conversation, accents,
overlapping speakers, poor microphone positioning, etc., will substantially
increase the transcription ratio and make a marked difference in time taken to
transcribe.
We do our best to transcribe everything and we research names and
terminology not familiar to us. However, there are times when dialogue cannot
be deciphered and we mark these as (unintelligible). Sometimes a tape thought
to be of good quality actually is not, or the quality begins to deteriorate part way
through. When that happens, it is simply not in your best interest for us to
persevere in transcribing a poor quality recording. In that event, we will always
contact you to discuss how you would like us to proceed.
