We offer quality and accurate business transcription services at affordable prices. Your transcription needs could include meetings, conferences, speeches, one-on-one interviews, board meetings, etc. We will provide you with accurate transcription within the timeframe that best suits your business transcription needs.

Unless specified, we transcribe using Clean Verbatim : The content of the transcript is verbatim, but we omit the leading words, such as “right,” “okay,” “you know,” “alright,” etc. (unless they are an answer to a question) and non-verbal utterance such as 'uh..' and 'uhm..', 'double- doubled' words and 'st-st-stutters'. Leading words and verbal ticks are also removed.

If you wish True Verbatim - this format includes all ums, ahs and stutters. This verbatim format provides you with the most detailed transcript of your audio. Every single word is transcribed. This format does take longer to transcribe and as such an additional charge will apply (see table below)

We offer 2 different types of rates & 2 types of services - rough or standard

Rough Service: one pass

Standard Service: Our standard service includes our two-pass quality system where once a transcriptionist has transcribed the material, a proofreader will listen to the audio again and correct any inaccuracies and fill in as many inaudibles the first transcriptionist missed.

Transcription Rates

We've simplified our transcription rates to make it easier than ever. We bill strictly per recorded minute of audio. Per minute of recording. 15 minutes minimum required

If we find the audio quality to be poor, we will inform you prior to beginning the work as additional charges will apply as per the table below. We deem difficult audio to be audio of poor sound quality, people speaking over one another, background noise, true verbatim transcription, and thick accents.

* If you do not want individual speakers tracked, we will identify them generically (Male/Female, Moderator/Respondent, Interviewer/Interviewee, etc.)

** We will track individual speakers as Male 1, Male 2, Female 1, Female 2, etc. We can also identify by name or some other term (Interviewer, Interviewee 1, Interviewee 2, etc.).

*** Accents can include U.S. regional dialects as well as foreign and non-American accents.

+Clean Verbatim: This format is designed to provide a verbatim format that includes only the meat of the speech. The content of the speaker's responses are verbatim, but we omit the leading words, such as “right,” “okay,” “you know,” “alright,” etc. (unless they are an answer to a question) and non-verbal utterance such as 'uh..' and 'uhm..', 'double- doubled' words and 'st-st-stutters'.

Price is based literally on the amount of time it takes to transcribe your recording. Generally, one hour of recording takes 3 to 8 hours to transcribe but this will vary depending on the recording quality, transcript format, number of participants, and other factors.

While we do not expect a perfect studio recording and will generally accept minor flaws and problems, the length of transcribing time will be considerable different with the following conditions:

• Audio quality
• Recording noise and flaws (tape hiss, bad mike, person too far away from mike, old tape etc).
• Exterior noise (trucks, restaurant/bar, music, airplane, background conversations etc.)
• Number of people
• People consistently talking on top of each other in an unstructured meeting.
• Heavy accents (foreign or English)
• Existence of audio that is not to be transcribed (such as lunch breaks during meetings) in analog recordings (tapes, cassettes) which we must spend time to sit through.

As a Standard Overview: 1 hour of recorded/dictated voice time (VT) = 3 to 8 hours of transcription time (TT)

Priority Fees : Same day service/less than 24 hours turnaround: 50% additional
