MY RATES
As a general rule, all transcripts will be typed in standard verbatim unless requested otherwise. Turnaround time (TAT) is based on the business-day model of Monday through Friday. For example, if a file is submitted for transcription on Friday at 1:00 P.M. for a one-day turnaround, it will be delivered to you on Monday by 1:00 P.M. If a file is submitted on Thursday for a two-day turnaround, it will be delivered by the same time of day on Monday. All times will be computed by Pacific Standard Time (PST). You will find my pricing rates below. My rates are calculated per audio minute. So, for example, if your file is 46 audio minutes long, it features two speakers, and you are looking for a turnaround of 3 to 5 days, you would be charged at a rate of $1.75 per audio minute. (1.75 x 46 = $80.50)
