Hi all,
I have a client offering a large volume of audio transcription. They asked me how long does it take to finish 20 minutes or 40 minutes etc of clear recorded audio. I transcribed before but still have no idea if there is a standard time to finish transcription.
They need the audio translated then transcribed. From your experience, how long should it take normally to finish a minute of transcribing and translating simultaneously a clear audio. I have to give my client approximate time, so any suggestions or comments from more experienced colleagues will be helpful.
Approximately for one minute of audio run time it would take 14/15minutes.Based on the duration of the audio you can decide how much time you need to finish translation and transcription.

Hi Mandy,
I would say 1 to 1.5 days for 20 minutes and +/-2 days for 40 minutes.
Greetings, Liza

It depends upon your speed.

Dear Mandy,
I would say that it depends mainly upon your speed through the process of writing/translating/precise hearing...
I agree with Liza Chase in her estimation.
Best regards.
