XS Typing pricing and payments

Our transcription services are priced according to the turnaround time you require and the length of your audio recording. Work is priced per audio minute and rounded up or down to the nearest minute for all part-minutes.

Our transcription prices are:

Economy – 5 business days

£0.90 per audio minute

Ideal if your timeframe is flexible – upload your file on Monday and you will have your transcribed document back the following Monday.

Regular – 2 business days

£1.10 per audio minute

Perfect if you don’t need immediate turnaround but can’t wait a full week.

Rush – 1 business day

£1.30 per audio minute

This option makes sure your transcribed document is with you by the end of the following business day.

Immediate – 4 hours

£2.50 per audio minute

For a 4 hour turnaround, files must be uploaded by 1pm. Files uploaded after 1pm will be transcribed and delivered by 9am the following business morning.

These are our standard prices and turnaround times, but if you require anything different, say 2 hours, we will do everything we can to meet your requirements, assuming your recordings are of sufficient quality.

For all files in excess of two audio hours please call us to discuss our availability to ensure that we can adhere to the above turnarounds.
