Description
Experience Level: Entry
Estimated project duration: 1 day or less
I need approximately 1 hr 45 mins of conversation transcribed from an mp3 file. Things to note:
a) the quality of recording isn't great although I have enhanced as best I can.
b) There are a total of 5 voices. I do not need a word for word transcription -especially where the voices speak over one another. Inevitably it is the main story line that I need usually (issues around who wants more to drink completely irrelevant).
c) look especially for the two eldest Male voices - then the young woman's voice (only arrives much later) then the younger man's voice. The elderly lady least important.
d) where there are people's names or proper names and you cannot make them out - don't worry - an indication is fine.
e) similarly if two or three words are too indistinct - don't spend forever working it out.
Voice 1 We used to go every year to France - Sandy
Voice 2 Warwick ... there's this chap I know always tells everyone - Jangu
Voice 3 Used to be a railway station - David
Voice 4 I do but you're absolutely right - it's straight out of - Jonathan
Voice 5 (younger woman later) - Katherine
The files are here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1J2EHqFcSsd9YawMUwAX0O1uq9wnPbHom?usp=drive_link
David Fuller with Jangu Sandy et al. 190224 levelled and amplified is probably the easier to follow.
NBB its 19th 02 not 24 02 you are looking for.
Have a good listen and make sure you feel comfortable finishing the task in the time that the fee £30 clearly allows for. Nothing worse than thinking it will be easy and then finding it takes you hours and hours and there is a limited budget. NB this will need a manual transcription - otter descript etc cannot cope with the quality of audio with the voices becoming v confused.
I have also posted a much shorter extract from another file and very happy for someone to take the two jobs on together.

1 hour of audio = 4 hours of manual transcription work.
If anyone is completing this type of work quicker than that then you can guarantee they are using a transcription programme.
Which in turn does not produce precise work of the audio. Spelling, grammar and punctuation will be off which will then need to be proof-read, adding more time.
£30 will be more suited to those who are just starting off in this line of work.
And as I can see not a single professional transcriptionist has bid on this job.
£30 plus the fees occurred from PPH isn’t even covering the most minuscule of work going into this.
