Transcription Services Rates

We understand that in the current economic climate keeping transcription costs low is vital.  We believe our transcription rates are extremely competitive.  However, your business is important to us and if you do find a more competitive quote we are willing to negotiate.  Proof will be required of any other quotations.

We charge per audio minute and not per hour. This means you can calculate the transcription rates per hour and know exactly how much each dictation will cost regardless of how long it has taken to type.  For example, a 60 minute audio at £1.30 per minute will cost £78 plus VAT.  If this takes us 4 hours that is just £19.50 per hour.  However, if it takes us longer or shorter, it will cost you the same amount.  It is estimated that a good quality dictation will take approximately 3-4 times its length to transcribe. The typist or team leader then proof reads the document for accuracy. Prices vary depending the service you require. There is a minimum charge of £20.00 so if you only send one short audio in a month, your invoice will be £20 plus VAT.

To work out your transcribing services cost, please firstly see which transcription you need from the tables below.  Our transcription costs, UK are in Sterling, but we can also quote in other currencies if required.
