TRANSCRIPTION Rates- $10/$15 PER HOUR

Our transcription rates are $10 per hour of typing, proofreading and administrative time for regular material and $15 per hour or 7-9 cents per line for legal and medical material. The number of hours required to do a job depends on the clarity of the material and the amount of specialized terminology used. Broadcast-quality material takes less time to transcribe. Hard-to-hear material takes longer to transcribe.



Thuriam Transcripts is the only transcription company that will take on difficult and non-standard material to transcribe. We will work for as long as your budget allows us to get the best transcript possible. When we receive material, we immediately check it for clarity and transcription difficulty, and we provide an estimated price and turnaround time before we start any job.



Dense material with a lot of technical, business, financial or computer terms usually takes between seven and eight hours of work per hour of audio. Focus groups with multiple participants and overlapping conversations may take 10 hours per hour of audio to transcribe and proofread. Broadcast-quality material usually results in 100% accurate transcripts. Lesser quality audio results in a decline of accuracy, but with extra effort, we can generally achieve 98% accuracy or better on most material.



We also do a better job than anyone else with hard-to-hear material. Our rates include proofreading and fast turnaround times. Our philosophy is to provide a manuscript-quality finished product rather than the industry-standard "rough draft." Please keep in mind that while not every tape can be saved, we might be able to turn a flawed recording into something that is audible and usable, or be able to extract a transcription from it.
