Charges

Transcription of voice files falls into two categories:

• Category 1 - these are single-voice recordings consisting of dictation for standard letters, invoices, documents, etc.

• Category 2 - these are multi-voice recordings consisting of recorded meetings, interviews, conference calls, etc.

 LegalType Services' charge out rates are calculated as follows:

• For category 1 transcriptions, you will be charged at $2.00+GST per recording minute or part minute.  This equates to an hourly rate of $40.00+GST.

• For category 2 transcriptions you will be charged at the rate of $40.00+GST per hour.  As a guide, to transcribe these types of recordings is usually 5 x recording length.  These voice files tend to me much more involved due to factors like identifying speakers and sound quality. 

LegalType Services reserves the right to charge for additional time spent completing a job if full dictation is not provided.
