Transcription rates

You have reached my transcription rates page and here I will inform you of the prices I charge for the transcription services I offer. I have been working as a transcriber for 5 years already and I have experience with making transcripts and content analyses. I offer these 2 services and deliver quality work on time. The transcription rates I offer depend on the type of transcript or content analysis you need. It also depends on other factors, such as the quality of the audio, the number of speakers and whether you need the audio to be translated. The information below should make that a bit clearer for you.

Current projects: I work closely together with QQFS/M3 and translate their Dutch audio into English. I make both transcripts and content analyses for them in that way. Peak Translations is another client regularly asking me to work on their transcription projects.

 

My transcription rates explained

The rates I charge for making a transcript or a content analysis vary slightly. That is because there are different transcripts and analyses I can do for you and some require more time and effort than others. Several services are included in the transcription rates I list below as standard. I will organise an introductory meeting if required and make an offer for you based on what we spoke about. Once you accept that offer, we are in business together. The table below shows my transcription rates in detail.

How much does a content analyses cost?

The rates for standard content analyses are similar to the transcription rates listed in the table above. But there are many different types of content analyses and the amount of work I will spend on them can vary greatly. If you have a number of interviews on tape and you want me to schematically organise them, then you can expect rates as listed above. There are also content analyses using different sources and those can take much more time. That is why in those cases I would speak to you first and make an offer based on what we discussed. Once you accept the transcription rates I specify that offer, I will start working on your project.
