Dictation transcription 10

$15-25 AUD / hour

Completed
Posted about 10 years ago

$15-25 AUD / hour

We have an occasional stream of transcription work and, accordingly, need more people to help us! We are looking for an additional, reliable individual or team who can take dictation files (usually in Olympus DSS Pro format or AIFF) and type these into provided Microsoft Word template reports. There are two parts to this. Firstly, we are keen to appoint someone almost immediately to take approximately 30 to 40 audio minutes and type it up in the next day. They are medium quality recordings with Australian accents. Accordingly, if you are able to work over the next 24 hours and guarantee to complete the task to quality expectations, then we can commit to this virtually immediately. Secondly, going forward, there is likely to be additional transcription for you to do. The volume of work will be ad hoc, but we have a preference to find someone who we can use on a repeated basis. So, if you do a good job on the first task, then there is likely to be ongoing work. You must be accurate, reliable and have a strong attention to detail, including spelling and formatting. You must be able to consistently offer a turnaround in under 24 hours or less ie we will send them to you end of the day Sydney time and prefer turnaround by the morning Sydney time. Our expectation is that you will check your work and meet deadlines and accuracy expectations. We've found some good people on Freelancer in the past, some of whom we continue to work with. Both quality and reliability are important to us. In other words, we expect you to be able to commit to deadlines and produce good work--if you cannot do both, then please don't bid. Important: 1. Please quote in AUD per audio hour. 2. Please advise your availability to turn around this first approximately 30 to 40 minutes of recording in the next 24 hours. 3. Please let us know of your experience in doing transcription work like this and what software and playback equipment you have. 4. Please do not bid if you cannot deliver to the deadlines and quality we expect—it will bear out in your ratings. Looking forward to working with you.

I am home and available almost all of the time. I am proficient in Word. I have no trouble converting audio file formats if I need to. I have excellent typing skills (70-80 words per minute). I am Canadian, but have family in Australia. The accent will not be a problem for me. Kindly consider me for the position. Regards, Chris Vigliotti

Hi there! I'd love to be the one in charge of your transcription work, let me answer some of your questions: 1. Please quote in AUD per audio hour. 1.2 AUD per Audio hour 2. Please advise your availability to turn around this first approximately 30 to 40 minutes of recording in the next 24 hours. 30 to 40 minutes of clear audio can be done within 24 hours, anytime. 3. Please let us know of your experience in doing transcription work like this and what software and playback equipment you have. Every transcriber in our team has their own footpedal and software they prefer. We work by our: "One Client One Transcriber" method, meaning that if you get one transcriber assigned to your name you stick with them all the way. This only changes if you want larger, urgent, volumes of audio transcribed. I've been working as a transcriber for years now and I have a lot of clients (AU based especially) to back me up, so if you need anyone to vouch for me I can give you some names that you probably already know. Thanks! 4. Please do not bid if you cannot deliver to the deadlines and quality we expect—it will bear out in your ratings. I am sure it will!

Hi, I am interested with your project. 1. I am quoting 30AUD per audio hour. 2. I am available monday March 3. Yes I can turnover 40 mins of audio in 24 hours. 3. I did transcription of phone interviews, the topic is cloud computing, personal interviews between researcher/student and mental health care workers/doctors. The latest are webinars regarding fertility and one on one interviews regarding floor covering products; carpets, ceramic and wood floors. I prefer transcribing health related audio, I am a health buff, physical culturist and have medical transcription background which would be helpful. I hope to hear samples first, so I would be sure If I could commit to transcribing a particular audio, I do not want to promise and then receive a an audio sample that although good quality, I am not familiar with the speaker's accent. Thank you so much looking forward to work with you.

Hi there friend. I am interested in doing your audio transcription project as I have already done an audio transcription project which was about a 4 hour talk for a person from America. It's there in my profile and you can have a look at it. Yes I can churn around 30 to 40 minutes of audio per 24 hour period. You and I can discuss details such as what output format you need, how it needs to be transcribed etc with me in the chat. So just ping me in the chat. Thanks a lot!

I am an experienced digital audio Medical Transcriber specializing in Focus Groups and depth interviews involving consultants, nurses and other healthcare specialists in medical research. I am happy to transcribe difficult accents and technical terminology and my turnaround is up to 2 hours of recorded time transcribed within 24 hours. I have a foot pedal and my software is Express Scribe although I have used other systems in the past. I would work for 83 AUD per audio hour. I assume you would either send a link with the file attached or use a file carrier such as "You send it" and I would return a Word document. Thanks Julie

Hello, I have a team of 7 top notch transcribers and 3 editors suited for an assignment such as yours. All my professionals (US, SA and Canada) are expert in English and well versed with MS Word with average computer typing speed of 55wpm. Atop this, for timestamps and tricky/accented audio we have a British cover of 2 editors (both MBAs) as well. I believe yours is a job that I can truly do justice to and with the experience of my team and their grasp of the subject, I can assure you that the performance would be unparalleled. To now the details you've asked for: 1) There's a lot of moving parts in transcription, i.e., accent of speaker(s) (which you've mentioned - Australian), clarity of audio, research involved, formatting and so on. I'd need to listen to a job snippet to be to be able to give you an exact quote. Let me know how that works out for you. 2) I can maintain the TAT you're asking for. 3) I've been in the transcription industry since 2000, so about 14 years now. I started out as a transcriber and now I have my team. So it basically works as a system here. We get the audio>listen to it once>start typing (sans research)>pass on the file to the editor who edits it and does the research. It increases the TAT to 1:5 as compared to 1:3.5 that some of our peers offer but a second-person ear ensures substantially better quality. 4) Understood. Regards, Nitin ps - I'm still relatively small and eager to make a name for myself so I'll give it my very best.
