$1 per audio minute or above - former legal Posted: Aug 31st, 2017 - 7:11 am In Reply to: Which is more? - Jellybean
Forty cents per minute is way too low for legal transcription. Most general and legal transcriptionists insist on at least $1 per audio minute for any work. Legal is often verbatim, so you would want more than that. How much you would make at 40 cents per minute depends not only on how fast you are, whether you know and use expansion software such as Instant Text to your benefit, but mostly it depends on the speaker or speakers and how fast they are, whether you have to capture every um and ah, whether multiple speakers interrupt each other, whether you have to time code, and so on.
Forty cents per minute is not enough. I would take the eight cents a line and be able to do well with it.
