Writers,
Interviewers, Editors, Publishers:
Get Your Interviews Transcribed at
an Affordable Price,
and Substantially Improve Your Productivity and Accuracy.
For journalists, one of the sweetest-sounding
phrases in the English language is: copy and paste.
Imagine copying and pasting without having
to worry one whit about copyright infringement. Also imagine kicking
back and relaxing while conducting your interviews, without having
to bother with taking notes. And, imagine cutting hours off of the
time it takes you to write an article.
No, it isn't too good to be true.
First of all, if you don't already audio-record
your interviews, you most definitely should. Apart from those who
know shorthand, few people can write or type fast enough to get
everything that's said. That could seriously impact the completeness
and the accuracy of your final product.
If you do regularly record your interviews,
then that's great. But you know how tedious and time-consuming it
is to transcribe them. The process can add several hours to the
time it takes to complete an article. That's valuable time you -
or the writers who work under you - could better spend on more productive
activities like writing, researching, and interviewing.
Now there's
a solution: We will transcribe your interviews for you, quickly
and cheaply. That helps reduce by hours the amount of time it takes
you to write an article.
How cheap is it? We sympathize that journalists,
editorial departments, and researchers typically don't have deep
pockets. So we've managed to reduce the price substantially from
what transcription services have traditionally charged. It costs
less than $40 for a half-hour interview.
That's a big money-saver for you: typical
transcription time is 4-6 hours or more for every 1 hour of audio.
So transcribing a half-hour interview may take you two or three
hours. Depending on your average hourly earnings, the time involved
in transcribing it yourself could cost you a lot in terms of forgone
earnings. And it could cost a lot in terms of lost productivity
- especially for an entire publication staff.
Plus, as alluded to above, there's the
sheer drudgery involved in doing it yourself.
Instead of wasting your time transcribing,
spend those hours doing more valuable and productive work.
Or, if you oversee an editorial department, don't have your writers
waste their time - and your budget - transcribing. Have them spend
that time producing even more articles.
We've refined a system that makes interviewing
and article-writing a breeze. During your interviews you can sit
back and relax without even worrying about taking notes. When you
finish the interview, you simply upload the digital recording to
our website. We'll e-mail you the finished transcript within a few
days. Then, writing your articles can be merely a matter of cutting,
pasting, and refining.
