Freelancers, We have a 11 1/2 hour of audio presentations and lectures, and I need someone with excellent English to transcribe them to Microsoft Word (2007 version). I want you to produce an accurate and readable transcript. This means you should you need to be accurate. Leave out false starts, speaker hesitations, background noises, all uhmm's and ah's. Don’t paraphrase - you need to transcribe what the speaker says, not just the general idea of what was said. The audio can be send on CD's or in mp3 format by email/skype, and is good quality. Initially, I my idea is to split the work into one hour lectures. I'd like to have each one transcribed and sent back to me, before I send out the next audio file. I will make payment for each one, by PAYPAL or wiretransfer, so you can be sure of getting paid and me of the quality of the work. Some questions for bidders - 1) How long will it take you to transcribe 1 hour of audio? 2) How long will it take you to return the completed work? 3) What's your experience? 4) What is your rate for transcribing one hour of good quality single-speaker audio ? 5) What equipment or software do you have I will ask those interrested, to transcribe 2 minutes of the mp3 file as a trial. Apologies, this test will be unpaid, but I need to be sure that your grammar, spelling, and transcription skills are excellent - and please dont contact me, if you only use "translation softwear" . It wouldn't be fair to award you an hour's transcription (potentially 4 or 5 hours work) if I wasn't sure that your work would be of acceptable quality - neither you or I would be happy with the outcome. I would like to use the person for further work in the future. I constantly do seminars and often need them transcribed Remember, I need someone with excellent English. ( mine is not - but i need to send this to clients ) Smile from Tine

Dear Sir, I am a native English speaker, as well as an avid reader and writer, so my command of the language is excellent. I am new to the transcription industry but I have a great knack for typing, accurancy and writing. Please consider me, even though I am coming in with no experience. I will do whatever it takes to meet your satisfaction. 1) Appx 1 1/2 to 2 hours per hour of audio (possibly faster) 2) 5 days, or less 3) I have no experience in direct transcription service as of yet, but my typing speed is 75 wpm with 98% accuracy. 4) I will charge $10 per audio hour. 5) I will use Windows Media Player for audio file playback. I will use Microsoft Word for transcription, in whatever version you prefer. Thanks again for your consideration.

Hi i would love to take on this project for you! My background is as a credit controller in a very busy office which requires me to take accurate, clear and presentable notes through-out cash collection calls. Depending on the quality I can complete one hour of audio transcipt within 3 - 4 hours at the very most including presentation editing, spelling and grammar checks. I can transfer the files by e-mail so you will have these as soon as they are completed so realistically you will have most of these well within the proposed 5 days above. For one hour of audio transcript i would charge $30 however i will do this whole project for $120 (approx. $20 per hr of audio transcript). I would be happy to complete a sample if you just forward me the details.

Hello I am interested in this job. The bid is 30.00 per audio hour and, is negotiable based on the amount of work that needs to be completed. I will be able to transcribe 1 audio hour in under 1 1/2 hours. I am a relay operator by trade so I transcribe conversations all day long. I did not see the test file located in the project. If you send this to me I will have it completed in a few minutes and return it. My turnaround time is 24 hours for every 4 hours of audio. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello. I would appreciate being considered for this job. In response to your questions I advise as follows: 1)It will take me approximately 2 hours to transcribe 1 hour of audio with one speaker. 2) I estimate about 5 to 7 days to return the work - but if your deadline is tighter I can fit in with that. 3) I have been a legal transcriptionist longer than I care to remember. I am a native English speaker and proficient with spelling and grammar. 4) My rate for transcribing 1 hour of good quality audio is $30 i.e. 50 cents per audio minute. 5) My transcription equipment is Express Scribe and Olympus DSS so MP3 by email is good). I would be pleased to hear from you.
