How it Works

Get in touch using the contact form below to discuss your project and get a quote.

The contact form can also be used to upload audio or video files for transcription to our secure server, or use any file transfer service of your choice.  Your media will then be transcribed as a Word document and returned to you via email within an agreed timeframe.

A 24-hour turnaround service can be provided for an increased rate of 40p per minute for standard transcription, or 80p per minute for post-production transcription (please refer to rates below).

Once the transcript has been returned and completed to your satisfaction payment is accepted via BACS transfer.

Rates and Services

General Transcription

Standard Transcription – £1.10 per audio minute

A word-for-word transcript of your audio including timecodes every five minutes. Speakers identified by name where possible.

Media Transcription

Rushes Logging – £1.50 per audio minute

Transcription of unedited footage for use in the TV production process.  All dialogue transcribed verbatim with timecodes for every change of speaker.

Post-Production Transcription (Type 1) – £1.85 per audio minute

All dialogue transcribed verbatim, with timecodes for every change of speaker.  Captions, graphics and credits included.  In these scripts, timecodes are given in a column on the left corresponding to dialogue in a column on the right, with a new row for every change of speaker.

Post-Production Transcription (Type 2) – £3.65 per audio minute

As above, but with all shots logged, described and timecoded in separate columns alongside the dialogue.  These scripts use a four column-format.

Reversions – £ad hoc

These are alternate versions of existing TV shows, usually for international audiences.  Where a post-production script of the original version has already been produced, we will edit the existing script to correspond to the alternate version of the show at a reduced rate.

For post-production transcripts where more or less detail is required than outlined in the options above, please contact us for a quote.  To include timecoded music cues, please add 15p per audio minute.  For timecodes accurate to the frame, please add 35p per audio minute to the above rates.
