Transcription Pricing

Virtual Business Support is committed to delivering excellent quality services for our clients while keeping our rates competitive. We do everything possible to ensure accuracy. All transcripts are typed in standard format as described below, reviewed and proofread before sent back to you.

All transcription is done here in our office (located in the US) by our professional transcription team – we do not outsource any work!

Pricing is based on “digital” recordings only and of good audio quality. We have the right to refuse any assignment if:

There is a lot of background noise.

People are speaking over one another.

There are low-speaking voices that cannot be heard.

Poorly recorded.

Heavy accents that are hard to decipher.

Time stamping required.

Medical, legal or scientific terminology which require research (alternate fees apply).

If you require a more defined format for your document, you may be charged an additional fee.

Any document sent back to us for revisions after we have already transcribed it in the standard format will be charged an additional fee. Fee is based on revisions needed.
