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 rates are based on (1) the quality of the recording, (2) the clarity of the voices, and (3) the number of speakers.
