$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
We need an English-speaking transcriber to transcribe 26 videos of varying lengths. The total length of all videos is 2 hours. Each word must be spelled correctly. Each phrase must be constructed to reflect the tone of what is being said. Each sentence must be punctuated properly. When a video has more than one person speaking, each speaker's parts must be labeled like it would be in a script. For example: Narrator: This video will explain the difference between savings and investment. Carla will illustrate the difference for us. Carla: Investment is a form of savings in which the investor anticipates a high yield. Savings refers to the practice of storing money for future use, whether it is earning a yield or not. Your bid should be for this specific task of transcribing 26 different videos that total 2 hours in length. Each video is between 1 and 10 minutes long. Additional requirements: 1) Transcripts must reflect the use of perfect English. No typographical errors or misspellings will be accepted. Errors of this nature will result in no compensation for this project. 2) Samples of previous transcriptions must be provided with your bid. Bids without samples will not be considered. 3) Transcripts must be submitted in .txt format. 4) Transcripts are being contracted "for hire" and will belong to the buyer. You do not retain rights to publish these transcripts elsewhere. By submitting a bid for this project, you agree to these terms. This is a project that will likely lead to additional assignments, particularly if your work is exceptional.

Please see PMB for career details. As a very fast, typist with first rate knowledge of English and a stickler for accuracy and impeccable grammar, this is a project I would enjoy. I attach a sample of a verbatim transcript, where the need was for word by word accuracy rather than editing to make it more readable. However, throughout my career (see PMB) I have consistently edited material provided by my colleagues. I would appreciate the chance to prove my suitability for this and future tasks.

I have done this type of work and have experience about 5-6 yrs in transcription. I can assure you of the quality and the TAT that would be required for such projects. My rates would be around $60 per hour of audio, which is negotiable.

Dear Project Provider, I have a degree in English Language, my written English is perfect and I would be happy to work on this project for you. My price reflects my ability, you will find me fast, efficient, cost effective and above all correct. As it would be somewhat tricky to send you examples of my work (I never hold on to other peoples documents after I have been paid, I believe it's an invasion of privacy) I can assure you that just last year I transcribed over 120 hours of interviews for a biography, which also had to be translated from Italian at the same time, and, of course, within a strict deadline. This was for a very prominent family here in Italy but unfortunately it was never printed as the author passed away. I do hope I may be of use to you with this task and look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Alison Sanford.

The transcription of the number of videos could easily be completed in 24 hours given the time and your requesting no typographical errors, etc. The bid of 90.00 reflects the number of videos given to view and transcribe and equals out to roughly 3.46 per video transcribed.
