Is legal transcription generally priced the same, less than, or more than medical transcription? Also, what is the approximate price difference, if any, in your neck of the woods? Thanks. ...

Hi everyone. I have my own transcription business and I normally charge per minute. I just got approached by a law firm and they asked how much I would charge per page. They would be dictating letters. I have no idea how much I should charge. Any ideas? ...

what the difference is between what they charge and what the MT gets. No company names needed, just curious. I'm an independent MT looking to switch to a different group of docs in the Northeast. Thanks for any info. ...

I have been an MT for 3-1/2 years and am interested in legal transcription. I have found online courses through meditec and Penn Foster and am leaning towards meditec who also offers an online paralegal course. Does anybody have any experience with either meditec or Penn Foster regarding the legal transcription and/or paralegal course? Any other ideas how I could get into legal transcription? You may also email me if you prefer. I am grateful for any information and/or advice. If you know ...

Has anyone ever done legal transcription? If so, was it hard to learn compared to medical? ...

I applied today for what I assume is an in-house legal transcription position unless I get lucky and get to work at home. This job is a 41 minute drive one way for me. I've never done legal transcription. The job description states pay is based on experience. It's strange because the ad states medical transcriptionist/paralegal. I'm confused about what exactly they are wanting since it is a law office. I think maybe they will consider any transcriptionist or so it sounds. Anyway, ...

Hi all, I have been offered a general transcription job today and they will be calling me with a pay rate. I have no idea what is fair pay for this kind of work, as I have always worked in medical transcription. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks ...

Does anyone work for Sten Tel doing legal transcription? I am starting with them this week and was just wondering if it was a good place to work for? I am an IC and they said I could work as much as I want. Is there always work? Do they give raises of any kind? I am doing my training session with them on Thursday and am just a little nervous. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

I have all these years of MT experience, but ready to transition into something different, specifically, legal transcribing. Most places (usually law firms) prefer that one have some experience either with legal transcription oreither be a paralegal or law student intern. Is there a way I can somehow seamlessly transition into legal transcribing without all of that? ...

I'm thinking of trying legal transcription if there are no MTSOs worth sticking around for. My current company is losing accounts to EPIC. These sure aren't the old days when you could take your pick of MTSOs. It's slim pickins' now. I don't have any legal experience, but think I could pick up the terminology and formatting easily enough. Anyone else tried it? Are there law offices that will hire us to work at home? What kind of transcription do you use? ...

Wondered if anyone knows if $1/page is a decent rate for legal transcription? As with most of us, I'm looking to get out of medical and into something else just don't know if legal reports tend to be pretty lengthy on average or not. Thanks. ...

I realize this is a Medical transcriptionist site, but I know someone interested in getting into general and/or legal transcription. She does have law office experience, however, transcribing on a daily basis, like we MTs do, is different than what is done in an office setting. Does anyone know where she could get online training for general and/or legal transcription? Thanks. ...

Did anyone happen to get the e-mail address of an ad that appeared on the job seeker's board for general, medical and legal transcription for a person by the name of Nancy Dash? It has disappeared today, and I just wondered if anyone might still have the e-mail address. Thanks. ...

Trying to find out what the going rate or at least an idea of what to charge for a non-medical transcription project..Would appreciate any feedback including whether it is still charged by the line or page and what a reasonable rate would be. Thanks! ...

I have an opportunity to transcribe interviews for the county. The files will be anywhere from 15 min to hours long, 3 to 4 of these a week, TAT is 1 week. At the beginning of each interview, the lead interviewer dictates the attendees’ names and reason for participation in the interview. On each transcription, the person speaking must be identified each time he/she speaks. Occasionally more than 1 person speaks at a time and that has to be sorted out and identification made of ea ...

I hope this is the right board to ask this quick question! If not, please re-direct me. A friend of mine has a genealogy business, and does Q & A sessions with people (usually elderly, but some not) about their lives, their family history. She will be needing these interviews transcribed (simple format). Each interview is about 5 minutes of dictation time, and they're digital files that she will e-mail to me, and I'll e-mail them back. No printing invo ...

full-time and in-house. She is offering 5 cpl gross so even if someone says "um", I get paid 5 cpl for the whole line. Is this a good line rate. I have not done legal transcription before so I have no idea if this is a decent rate. I feel that is kind of low and would like to ask if she would be willing to raise it. What do you think? ...

I have a possible job offer with a legal firm that is willing to pay $1.25 per 25 line page and up to $1.75 per page if the audio is bad and $1.50 per page for rush reports. The usual TAT is 3 days. I would be transcribing mostly depositions and maybe sometimes I would be doing interviews, hearings, etc. The depos are usually 60 to 100 pages, though sometimes can be as long as 300 pages. What do you think? Is this a good deal? Can I make money doing this? At ...

They pay $1.10 per page. There are 46 lines to a page. Even if this was paying for gross lines, it would only be .02 cents per line! If they counted per 65 character line it would be even less! ...

Recently contacted by a local church pastor to transcribe some sermons for him to make into a booklet form. (Maybe 3 to 4 hours worth of work or about 160 minutes). I have never done or charged for general transcription like that and certainly don't want to over charge a church, yet do not want to do it for free either. They asked me would I want to be paid the same way the hospital pays me? What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance. Forgive me if I pu ...

Hi! I used to work for MQ, frequented this board often and appreciated the sound advice. I have since retired from the medical transcription industry. Recently I was asked to transcribe some recorded conversations that will ultimately be read aloud in court for a child custody case. I'm not worried about the actual transcribing, just about proper formatting and such. I would also like to know an approximate amount to charge, i.e., by the line, by the page, by the hour, etc.? C ...

I have an offer to apply. I noted they charge a monthly fee for their license free. I have lots of acute-care experience and I have never paid for anything like that. A little hesitant about that though. Any information would be greatly appreciated. At the present time, I really need a job. Thanks ...

Is it the same 10 cents per line as medical? I am out of work right now with over 2 years of experience. I have been checking out freelance websites, and the pay seems pretty low. It is sometimes described as dollar amount per audio hour or as an hourly rate. They list the hourly rate as about $5 an hour or less. Is it because the work would be easy? Should I bid for a job and offer 10 cents a line? I need some work so badly I just don't know what ...

What would a good rate of pay be to do general transcription? This is not medical transcription, but general audio like a phone conversation or meeting. ...

Could someone tell me what their hourly rate is for transcribing focus groups? I had someone ask me for an hourly rate today and I am not sure what to charge. TIA! ...

Ladies and gents, I am hoping to find an employer that will pay a flat line rate for both editing of SR and transcription. Does anyone know of anyone that is doing that? This business of being paid 2 different line rates makes it impossible to forecast earnings and is causing a huge headache for me. I am thinking a flat in the 7 cpl to 8 cpl would be something I would consider. I cannot believe I am saying that - 10 years ago I was working in a great hospital job making 12 cpl. My, my, how ...

I submitted my resume for an IC position and received an email requesting that I submit a proposal of what I expected to make per line for straight transcription and for VR. With 20 years as an MT, I felt that my proposal was pretty fair. I said 8.5 cpl for straight transcription and 5 cpl for VR. I received an email from the company telling me that generally thye pay their ICs 7 cpl for straight typing and 3 cpl for VR and asked me to consider lowering my quote. I was fl ...

Hello all. I am a very experienced acute care MT, 13 yrs in the business, all specialties, ESLs, all work types, etc. I have been wanting to get out of the MTSOs for quite some time. I was recently offered an in-office job at a radiology center for part front-office work and part radiology transcription. I was very clear to them that I had no specific training in either, but they actually hired me. I am tickled pink. I think my acute care experience helped in terms ...
