Last time I had voice recordings transcribe it ran $120/hr for the audio transcription. This new service has the following rates -- making it less than $26/hr for podcast transcriptions!
- URL Podcast transcription is 42 cents a minute. Podcasts are made searchable.
- Uploaded file transcription is 75 cents a minute. Transcripts are not searchable.
The transcribing is done by people, not machines. Read more about CastingWords web service.
On the other hand, if you want to transcribe your recordings yourself, here are some nice free software tools to help you with the job: http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/
