What influences turnaround?
Many things. If you need a file transcribed quickly use our 24HR- or 48HR services. We also offer a “difficult audio” option which speeds up turnaround as well. The biggest influence here is audio quality. Even if your audio meets our minimum quality standards, lesser quality audio still takes longer to transcribe than better quality. Audio with heavy accents, background noise, and/or highly obscure or technical content usually takes more time to transcribe and edit than crisp, clear audio. Long files, of course, generally take more time than short ones. Once files reach the 2 hour-plus mark, turnaround slows dramatically.
