Transcription Facts
It takes approximately 1 hour to transcribe 15 minutes of recorded material.
We speak four times faster than we can type.
False starts, interrupted conversation, heavy accents, highly technical terms which require research, take longer to transcribe.
Extraneous noise, low-quality recording equipment, inadequate number of microphones, soft-spoken persons, overlapping or garbled speaking result in inaudible portions.
