An audio minute means a minute of an audio recording
As per industry standards, it should take four hours to transcribe an hour of clear audio, i.e., a ratio of 4:1. Some experienced transcriptionists can transcribe files much faster. It’s not unheard for experienced transcriptionists to transcribe 20 to 30 minutes of audio in one hour. However, these fast times are an exception rather than the norm.
Yes, we can provide a customized solution for every client. For that, you will have to specify it in advance.
