Pricing

Our pricing

The basic price of our transcription is 1600 kr, excl. VAT, per hour audio file. In other words, you pay based on the length of your recorded time, not for the time we need to transcribe it.

In addition to the basic price, the price may differ depending on if you need extra fast delivery or if there are many people involved in the file. Below you will find all factors that can affect your final price.

Distinguish participants

The basic price does not distinguish participants from each other. They are instead referred to as interviewers and respondents. With this addition, we distinguish all interviewers and respondents by name, provided that their names are presented and that the sound quality makes it possible to identify their unique voice. See example below:

Basic transcription:
INTERVIEWER: What do you think about that?
RESPONDENT: I think it’s good.
RESPONDENT: So do I.
RESPONDENT: I actually don’t like it at all.
RESPONDENT: What, why not? It’s the best thing there is.

Distinguish participants:
INTERVIEWER: What do you think about that?
JAMES: I think it’s good.
LISA: So do I.
THOMAS: I actually don’t like it at all.
JAMES: What, why not? It’s the best thing there is.

Price per participant to be distinguished: 50 kr/audio hour.
 

Quality

In most cases, the sound files we receive are of good quality. In some cases, the quality is lacking. This may be due to the fact that the microphone has been placed too far away from the interview object, that there is background noise or that people speak over one another.

Below is an example of an audiofile which is lacking in quality.

If you as a customer have not identified that the quality is lacking and we do during the transcription process, we will contact you right away and sort out the matter.

Price for lacking quality: 250 kr/audio hour.
 

Exact transcription

Exact transcription mean that we write out filler words, half sentences, hesitations like “eh” and the like. This makes the text a bit more difficult to read, but makes sure all the small details in an interview are included.

Discreet confirmations, like "mm" from the interviewer while the respondent is speaking, are not included unless they add something to the conversation, for example when used in response to a question, or used to mark a pause by the respondent or to initiate a question.

Price for Exact transcription: 300 kr/audio hour.
