I am writing a novel about extreme skiing and ski mountaineering. I will interview dozens of characters and have hundreds of hours of audio conversations in digital format. I want someone to transcribe these conversations and put them into Word so that I can use dialogue as needed for my novel. Much of the dialogue is done in on one to one or meetings in public places so it can get a little difficult understanding all words spoken due to background noise. I don't care about 100% accuracy as I am more concerned with price than quality. Some of the audio files will have blank area with no conversation due to the spontaneity of this. I am not a professional interviewer. So I think I would be most interested in a transcribed per word price if possilbe. The going rate I pay for this work is between .004-.01 cts per word. Obviously the lowest responsive bidder will get the lion's share of the work.
Interested bidders should go to [login to view URL] to sample the interviews and the transcribed work. Preferred format is the interviewer, usually me to be distinquished by italics or some other convention. New bidders should provide me with a small sample, 100 words, of their work from one of the interviews that has not yet been transcribed. I have placed the software link at the top of the www. [login to view URL] that will allow you to convert the software into wav format. I don't like to post the .wav files as they are too large. If you have trouble getting the software installed, I can supply wave format or mp3 files but they are all many times the size file. I pay immediately by paypal upon submission of the completed and satisfactory work product. I have had a previious project posted with 100% satisfied freelancers.

A dollar per hundred words in fine with me.
See PMB for sample
My bid implies that for a sum of 300$ US, i will transcribe 30000 words.
I will transcribe in a samll time frame if that is what you want.
Thank you.
We have done transcribing and proofreading in the past. Kindly see your PMB for the attached sample transcription of Zev Dekoff's Interview and our rate per word transcribed. I can send you our CV for your review if it is needed. Feel free to contact us anytime to start your project.
I would be interested in doing this for you. I am a legal secretary now but I used to be a Court Reporter so I am very familiar with transcribing dictation. I am a very fast typist and would be able to give you quick turnaround time. If you are going to have continuous tapes, I don't know if I could set a specific price such as $300 for everything because that would be a lot of work for a very cheap price. So I think it would be better to do a per word price and again without knowing how much or how many tapes you are going to beed transcribed its hard to say a certain amount - if you are interested in me completeing this job for you we can negotiate price easier if you give me more specifics
