All rates apply to clear and audible recording, with native or near-native English speakers, discussing general knowledge, as opposed to highly technical content. Please call for an estimate of your work.
Difficult audio, such as "foreign" accents or non-native English speakers, audio source far from speakers, technical words (medical, legal, foreign words, industry-specific words, etc.), meetings with many cross-talking such as focus groups, loud background noise that interferes from understanding the speaker's words, etc. are charged extra. These difficult audio take more time to transcribe as we need to relisten, sometimes over and over again. If you have a question about your audio, please give us a call and we can provide an estimate of your work.
All documents are formatted with 1 inch margins all around, Courier New 12 font, double spaced page. For single-spaced, specific formats, or technical content, please call.
Rates apply to digital audio transferred directly to our secure site or downloaded from your site/ftp. Tape cassettes, DVDs/VHS charged more.
Please deliver the audio to be transcribed to our office and include with the package a business card, an agenda or a list of speakers, if any. Also, make sure all tapes/audio are labeled properly. Finished tapes are NOT returned. If you wish these tapes returned, please send a courier to pick them up, or send us your DHL or FedEx account, or a prepaid envelope.
Please see our FAQ page for questions you might have, including a general idea of how many pages per hour of audio.
