Transcribing audio is the conversion of an audio file into its exact written text.
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.
The standard rate of transcription per audio minute can vary between $1.25 to $4.50, depending on the number of speakers and the difficulty level of the audio. Please check our transcription rates here.
Although you can transcribe using any of the numerous free software available in the market, we do not recommend using such tools because they don’t guarantee accuracy and quality of transcripts.
