Digital Audio Transcription

We no longer provide audio transcription services as a single, dedicated service. It is now included with our virtual assistant service and editoral assistant services. There are many companies providing audio transcription services on a per audio-minute basis, so we are sure you will find someone accurate and reliable. We have left some notes below to help you understand how long transcription can take.

Transcription Notes

It takes approximately three hours to transcribe an hour of recorded speech, and this will increase with the number of speakers and the nature of the recording. For example, it can take six hours and more to transcribe an hour of conference material including keynote speakers and Q&A sessions.

The clearer the recording, the quicker it takes; so generally you will find rates vary based on (1) the quality of the recording, (2) the clarity of the voices, and (3) the number of speakers.
