Overview
SpeakWrite prices English transcription by the word rather than by the minute. Single-speaker audio or video costs 1.5 cents per word, and recordings with two or more speakers cost 2.25 cents per word, both with a 100-word minimum.[6] Text-based files, PDFs and images are also transcribed at 1.5 cents per word, and Spanish-to-English audio is translated at US$9 per audio minute.[6] The company says most work is delivered in about three hours with no rush surcharge, and that its typists are based in the US and Canada. The first three minutes of audio, or the first PDF page, are free.[6] Per-word pricing favours slow speakers and dictation, and costs more for fast multi-speaker conversation.
