Pricing ~
a per minute rate to ensure you
know how much you’re paying
before signing on the dotted line …
Our pricing is based on your particular project and if you are enquiring from a university research unit or a registered charity, we do offer discounts. We work extensively with Universities and their research units, transcribing large scale projects where interviews have been conducted and they need to know in advance how much they are paying. Because we do an excellent job of project management we remove many of the headaches they would normally face. i.e. trying to secure the kind of turnaround they need without having to sub-contract to lots of transcriptionist individually, and then being faced with the additional paperwork separate invoicing and despatch of their audio would otherwise produce – we do all that for you and NEVER send out your original recordings from our office.
Modern transcription companies now charge a per audio minute rate (which is the fairest means of pricing for your assignments) but there are still companies that will quote you a per typing hour rate. This means you will pay penalties for a transcriptionist having an ‘off day’ where their typing speed will vary, you will not know how much each recording will cost to transcribe and at the end of the day you won’t know in advance how much you are going to pay for the completed tasks.
Please see below for the pricing categories we cover (enquire specifically please for the price relevant to your job) and also refer to what project management skills are included in our pricing.
We also offer discounts for the use of digital medium, i.e. WAV, MP3, DSS, WMA etc, and free project management on digital sound files, click here to find out why. By sending us digital medium in place of cassettes/mini discs you save 20p per audio minute. That’s a saving of £12.00 for every hour of audio that needs transcribing!
