Transcription is usually charged per transcribed minute, at rates anywhere from .60 – $3 a minute. So to have one hour transcribed will cost anywhere from $36 – $180. If this seems like a lot of money, keep in mind it generally takes a transcriptionist 3 – 5 hours to transcribe one hour of recording.
A lot of people recommend Escriptionist.com who charge about $1.50 – $3.00 a minute depending on how many speakers are on the recording.
I have had good results hiring transciptionists who charge less than $1 a minute. I’ve located these workers from freelance sites such as Guru, Elance and GetAFreelancer.
