Not Bad Considering Format - anon

Not great, but not bad considering depositions are usually double spaced with average 10-15 spaces hanging indent paragraphs. Most of these average about 25 lines per page. Lots of white space too with the captions, etc. Just be sure you're not asked to do like single space paragraphs as a rough draft for someone who will doctor the document up afterwards to the correct format, then it's not a good rate at all. But at that pay rate, you will will most likely be using the actual correct format and can make some so-so decent money. It's always the time factor, of course, for how clear audio is, and your typing speed to see if it's worth your effort. Search online for sample formats to see how these look.
