However, we have never had to negotiate rates for this particular task. For proofreading translation work I charge 60% of my usual word for word. I have transcribed for this company and am well aware of the type of audio being transcribed, but have no clue as to the error rates of the other transcribers on their contract. ... See more
I am trying to get my wife established with transcription work. We have both done thousands of hours of transcribing on contracted work where transcription was often required. However, we have never had to negotiate rates for this particular task. For proofreading translation work I charge 60% of my usual word for word. I have transcribed for this company and am well aware of the type of audio being transcribed, but have no clue as to the error rates of the other transcribers on their contract. Or any other such metrics I could use to equate to an hourly rate.

Can anyone identify what Percentage%%% of our transcription rate we should charge for editing US_English to US_English audio?

Thank you for your time. ▲ Collapse
