Save More With Budget Transcript Services

Budget transcription is economical transcription options, and the trade-offs that come with each one. The work goes to transcribers who do this particular job every day, not to a general pool, and each file is checked against the source by a second reviewer before it is sent. This site is built around audio, video and document material in almost any format, including legacy media.

Worth asking for: batching a month of recordings into one order earns volume pricing. It is easier to set at order stage than to retrofit, and it costs nothing on top of the quoted rate when it is part of the original brief. A digital master of the source can be returned alongside the finished file where the original is fragile.

Word, PDF, Excel, Google Docs or plain text, or your own template applied so the file comes back ready to use. Headings, tables and numbering are built properly instead of pasted in. Source material in almost any audio, video or document format is accepted, including formats most suppliers turn away. The format for budget transcription is agreed at order stage, so the first delivery is the one you can file, send on or publish.

Send the files or a link, say what you need and when, and an exact quote comes back within minutes. Once you approve it the work goes to a transcriber suited to the material. Say what the budget transcription is for when you send it, because a filing, a publication and an internal record are formatted differently. Say what the material is stored on, because an older format changes what has to happen before anyone starts work. Revisions are free for 30 days after delivery.

All of the usual methods are accepted: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Square, wire transfer and checks. Businesses can be invoiced monthly against a purchase order, and everyone else pays on approving the quote. Budget transcription is billed on completion against the approved quote, with no deposit taken up front.

Yes, in 100+ languages, each handled by a native speaker and not by someone working from a dictionary. What budget transcription involves does not change with the language, and the same independent check happens before delivery. Older recordings often mix languages, and each one is kept as it was spoken instead of flattened into one.

General transcription starts at $1 per audio minute and legal transcription at $2, with volume pricing once a project passes an agreed size. The quote for budget transcription is worked out from how long the recording runs, how clear the audio is and how many people are speaking. The source format makes no difference to the rate; digitising legacy media appears as its own line in the quote. Budget transcription is quoted from the material you send, so a short job and a long one are worked out the same way. Send the material and the figure comes back within minutes.

Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available, and the delivery time is confirmed in writing before you pay. Budget transcription is scheduled against the people who actually do this work, not against a general pool. Legacy media such as tape, MiniDV, DAT or optical disc adds a digitising step, and that is quoted and scheduled up front. If a deadline cannot be met you are told at quoting stage, not on the day.

The standard is 99+%, reached by doing the job twice: one person produces the file, a second checks it against the source. What gets checked on budget transcription is the detail a reader would otherwise have to verify themselves: names, figures, terms and anything the source left ambiguous. Degraded tape and low-bitrate audio go to people used to that loss, not to software that fills the gaps with guesses.

Files are handled under NDA, moved through encrypted transfer and seen only by the assigned team. Budget transcription often involves material people would not want circulated, so the file is closed to everyone except the pair working on it. They can also be deleted on an agreed schedule after delivery, with written confirmation.
