Professional transcription, priced for the job

One page per job: what its typical recordings cost on the $4 to $32 packs, what comes back, and when a human or certified service is the better buy. Across every recording people transcribed here in the 90 days to 25 Oct 2026, the median was 25 minutes and three in four were under 63 minutes (recording lengths). 49 % of recordings arrive in working hours and 27 % at weekends, in the uploader's own time zone (when people transcribe).
