Voice over and translation rate Aug 21, 2014

In my opinion, you can add a little bit to your translation rate and you will obtain translated voice over rate.
For example, if you translate at the rate of 10 USD/page, then you can add 2-3 USD per page voice over.
The above rate was for Uzbek-English translation for which there are a few translators available in the market. Maybe for Russian translation, the rate are lower due to tough competition.

But nevertheless here you should also consider if the voice over is a commercial advert, radio, TV...
I send here one link so that you can see how the voice over is calculated (please take in account that there are many other links where you can
