Recording Quality
A major factor in pricing
Recordings with background noise, people speaking on cell phones, thick accents, air conditioners, static or multiple overlapping speakers cause transcription to go slowly.
What slows transcription:
- Background noise or static
- Cell phone recordings
- Thick accents or unusual speech patterns
- Multiple or overlapping speakers
Clear recordings with well-spoken speakers and no background noise get transcribed faster and cost less.
Factors That Affect Pricing
Speaker Identification
Names, codes or anonymizations
If you need speakers identified by name or using codes like “Participant 1”, this adds time to the transcription process.
- Speaker names
- Anonymous codes
- Role-based labels
Verbatim Transcription
Every word as spoken
True verbatim includes all ums, uhs, filler words and stutters. Useful for legal interviews or video editing.
- Ums and uhs included
- Filler words captured
- Stutters preserved
Time Codes
Timestamps throughout
Time stamps placed throughout the transcript help with video editing, referencing and navigation.
- Per paragraph
- Per speaker change
- At set intervals
