RATES
Cybersecretary Transcription Clear, audible dictation: .20 cents per 65 character line Unclear, muddled dictation: .30 cents per 65 character line
I calculate a line not as a visual line, but as actual 65 characters; I take the total characters in a file and divide by 65 to find the line count and then multiply the lines by .20. This is the most cost effective way to bill; you only pay for what is typed, not for extra spaces, blank lines, etc., contained on a page. The standard transcription measurement is calculated per line. However, a line is interpreted in various ways leading to billing rates which can often be deceptive. Some companies quote a low per line price, however, this can often calculate to a much higher cost for the same document because many lines may contain less than 65 characters. Additionally, they may charge for add-ins such as bold, underline, double-indent, etc. I do not charge for any transcription extras; just the prices as outlined above. As any transcriptionist will tell you, we prefer clearly dictated tapes. If the tape you submit for transcription is not clear due to the fact there is more than one person talking on the tape, background noise, microphone too close to the mouth when dictating or anything that would cause the words dictated to be inaudible or hard to understand, the charge is .30 cents per 65 character line. If this is found to be the case, transcription will cease on this particular tape and a telephone call and/or email will be made to you asking if you would like for me to proceed with the transcription or return it to you.
