Hi Cynthia, We use transcription services often in the work we do here at Market Street Research. We pay our transcriptionists around $30/hr, and it takes them approximately 10 hours to transcribe an hours worth of material. However, that's for transcribing focus groups, where many people are speaking and the transcriptionist has to attribute everything that's spoken to specific individual participants... We do have the one-on-one interviews we conduct transcribed as well, I just don't have any details on those costs. The transcriptionists we use are: Traeci Stevens who can be reached at 413-335-6435 and Luann Jette who can be reached at 413-527-0922. I'm sure they would be happy to give you more informed estimates. Hope this is helpful. Good luck with your grant proposal!

Can anyone tell me what is the going price per hour for transcription---of interviews. I'm writing a grant proposal and the project will require many hours of transcription. If we get funded, I'll be looking for someone to do the transcribing. Many thanks, Cynthia Roderick
