Pricing is based on the fact that a clear one-to-one interview will normally take around four times the length of the audio to transcribe, with dictation taking slightly less time and groups taking longer. Because the quality of digital audio recordings can genearlly be assumed to be good we can offer a per audio minute rate for digital audio transcription, based on the fact that a clear one-to-one interview will normally take in the region of four times the length of the audio to transcribe, with dictation taking slightly less time and groups taking longer. This gives you a fixed price for all your transcription work and makes it easier to budget. It is likely to work out more cost-effective than tape because digital audio recordings produce better quality recordings than analog tape recordings. Please see our transcription times and FAQ pages for information on the time taken to transcribe.
