Proficiency Level:
- Transcribe one-hour of good quality recoding in four hours
- Transcribe one-hour good quality recoding in three hours
- Transcribe one-hour good quality recording in two hours
Please Note:
The calculation is based on average rate of our survey of several transcription companies’ payment to independent contractors for transcribing one-hour good quality recording, and the average time it takes transcribers of different proficiency levels.
The income can be significantly different from the above table given that rate could vary between transcription companies and some transcribers may take more/less time to transcribe recordings.
This income from transcription is calculated at a rate of $50 per recorded hour with minimum 98% accuracy. Highly proficient transcribers make significantly more by transcribing difficult files that can pay up to $125 per recorded hours.
Transcription proficiency improves significantly with experience. New transcribers can expect to increase their income working same hours just by improving proficiency that comes with experience.
