  • Night and weekend availability to help meet your deadlines.
  • Background in writing to ensure correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. 
 

What does it cost to use The Portable Scribe's transcription services?
 
The cost for a transcript depends on whether it is true verbatim (capturing all utterances and stammers), clean verbatim (removing stammers, ums, you knows, etc.) or clean and edit (editing content as I type, useful to remove irrelevant remarks and repetition). The following are examples of each:

True verbatim:  "It's a little, um, um, cold -- I think they, you know, put the temp -- the temperature up, but welcome ev-everyone to today's seminar."

Clean verbatim:  "It's a little cold. I think they put the temperature up. But welcome everyone to today's seminar."

Clean and edit:  "Welcome everyone to today's seminar."
 
  • $1.75 per audio minute for true verbatim (capturing all utterances) or basic clean verbatim.
  • $2.25 per audio minute for clean and edit (enhanced editing).
  • 10 cents extra per minute for time stamps.
  • Other charges as agreed upon for 24-hour rush jobs or audios that are difficult to hear or understand.

How does the transcription process work?
 
  • Clients send audio or video files through secure sharing services such as DropBox, WeTransfer or Google Drive, or email for smaller files.
  • Transcripts are sent back within an agreed-upon time via a sharing service or email depending on the level of confidentiality required to be HIPAA-compliant.
