How Much Will it Cost?

How do I send you my files?
Audio and video files are uploaded via our secure online workflow system. We do not accept links or physical discs; all work is processed via our workflow system.
Once files have been processed, you will receive a notification with instructions on how to collect your transcripts.
How is the cost calculated?
Costs are calculated per recorded minute and are dependent on turnaround time selected. All seconds are rounded up to the next minute. For budget options, longer turnarounds are available.
Audio quality and number of speakers do not affect the cost. Default transcript is Standard Template and Intelligent Verbatim (see examples above). Time Coding, Full Verbatim and Special Formatting options incur a surcharge.
How long are quotes valid?
Quotes are valid for 30 days from date of quotation. Save your job as a draft should you wish to complete your order at a later stage.

How are deadlines calculated?
The 1-Day to 10-Day turnaround times are calculated in business days only, and do not include weekends. Express orders can be returned over weekends, with prior notification.
How About Time Codes?
What is time coding?
Time coding is audio or video time stamping in a transcript at regular intervals. When time codes are used, the format usually involves hours, minutes and seconds, for example, 00:02:35. We recommend time codes should be stamped every 30 seconds or as a new speaker begins.
Why select time coding?
Time coding provides a marker where you can find the text that matches the audio or video moment you are looking for. As a result, time codes are especially useful for subtitling videos, SEO optimization, research discussions, and legal transcripts. Time coding is also helpful for editing films, documentaries, commercials or TV shows. So clients often choose time coding for interviews or unedited video rushes because they speed up the editing process.
What are two free timestamps?
We offer two free time stamps per page of the transcript so that you can find relevant information more easily. We also mark sounds [inaudible] and [unclear] if we are uncertain so that you can quickly add the correct word if it’s discernible to you.
