Welcome!
I am a freelance transcriptionist, offering a secure, accurate, responsive and cost-efficient transcription service. I’m especially experienced in commercial market research, legal, medical and academic transcription. Discounts are also available in many cases: email me with your requirements and I'll send you a quote.
Introductory Remote Rate
Your first hour of audio transcribed: £30 (c.$47)
Undiscounted Remote Rates *
Per hour of audio transcribed: £33-£44 (c.$55-$70) **
Undiscounted In Situ Rates *
Edinburgh only – notes taken with speaker ID: £26 p.h. + transport
Edinburgh only – full transcription with speaker ID: £65 p.h. + transport
These rates suppose a one week turnaround. With advance notice, turnaround of 24 hours is usually available at no extra cost. Secure file transfer is typically via Google Drive; payment is typically via PayPal or bank transfer.
* Discounted rates are available for journalism, academic research, third sector and creative industries. Best case scenario, you end up paying even less than £33 / $55 per hour.
** Costs are calculated as follows: £22 per hour of audio typed + £4.00 per hour worked (so depth interviews and clear recordings will work out cheaper). Costs are capped, so you'll never pay more than £44 / $70 per hour. If you consider that most UK-based transcription services will charge £55-£80 per hour, you'll see how competitive these rates are!
