Basic Transcription Rates.
Transcription rates at Transcript Heroes are dependent on two things, turnaround time and difficulty.
Turnaround Time: The faster the turnaround, the more the Heroes have to shuffle workaround, and stay up late. Hence, the higher “red-eye” price for faster turnaround.
Difficulty Rates: Several factors, detailed on the quote and order forms, add to the basic turnaround time-based rates. These factors (e.g. more than 2 people talking, unclear recordings etc.) increase the time we need to transcribe a recording.
Turnaround Time | BASIC Rate/Minute |
---|---|
7 Business Days | $1.79 |
3 Business Days | $1.89 |
2 Business Days | $1.99 |
1 Business Day | $2.29 |
Same Business Day | $2.49 |
