Job pays 30 cents per audio minute, geez - Kat
Posted: Jan 18, 2013
So there is job posted that pays 30 cents an audio minute. How generous! You figure depending on the dictator and difficulty of transcript 60 minutes of audio is equal to 3 hours of transcribing. Granted, most of the time it does not take that long, but just in case for good measure we'll say 3 hours for 60 audio minutes. Do the math! 30 cents a minute x 60 (1 hr)= 1800. So another words, if you divide 1800 by 3 you get your hourly rate = 6 bucks an hour. Wow.....wow.....how generous, throw that in the pile of - might as well ask us to volunteer to do their work.
Even 60 cents isn't enough - wheres_my_job
[ In Reply To ..]when each dictation contains multiple speakers plus awkward formatting and time stamping speakers. Try that on for size - I did - not worth it.
Would it be worth pursuing at $1 per minute? - just in case, sigh (nm)

That's incoming charge - not pay charge. :) - :)
[ In Reply To ..]for general transcription, if you look at speechink.com, they charge the client a buck a minute. Their pay is substantially less. I don't know that you can get the dollar a minute, but would be worth trying!!!
Straight transcription - Canadian MT
[ In Reply To ..]Accentus Canada's standard rate is $1.15/audio minute for straight transcription. On average, it still doesn't equate to minimum wage in my province ($10.25/hour).

Fox Transcriptions Pay Of 40-50 Cents Per Audio Minute
Feb 06, 2013
Even at 50 cents an audio minute, if you get a 10-minute report that would equate to $5.00. Usually it takes 30 minutes to do a 10-minute report so that would mean one would receive $10.00 an hour. If only getting 40 cents, that's $8.00 an hour. PFFT! I don't see how this is any improvement over our standard slave wages, yet their ad sounds like they invented the wheel or sliced bread. With a name like "Fox," it's got to be bad. (Apologies to Smucker's.) ...
50 Cents Per Audio Minute? I Remember Being Paid $1.10

I am getting ready to test for this company (not medical) for a transcription job.

Pay Per Audio Talking Minute
Jan 16, 2015
Note, these are non-MT jobs. I have been applying to jobs that pay per "audio talking minute." These are all basically customer service jobs which might include a little tech help and also might include some upselling. Anyone have a take on this? After I quit MT, I SWORE I would never do any job that was not hourly or otherwise a guaranteed amount per paycheck. Has anyone done this type of work? I guess I'm curious what "audio talking minute" means. I'm assuming it means not ...
