Transcription Prices
The following 'per audio minute' rates will give you some idea of the final cost involved at the outset, which is always helpful when working to a budget. These rates apply to clear recordings of good audible quality and the price range allows for light regional accents, a reasonable amount of background noise and technical complexity. If a recording does not meet this criteria, e.g. there is a lot of extraneous noise, heavy foreign accents, people talking over each other, etc. I will contact you with a quotation before commencement.

- proof reading against the original audio
- formatting to your 'house style'
