hi
Hello
can you do my project for 180
3hours and 30 minutes
audio file
do you need time stamps as well ?
The audio is not clear in places so whoever does it will have to know how to use audacity, audition etc
play with treble, bass, amplication speed etc to get rid of background noise etc
do you have people like that?
yes we do but if the original file is not clear their will still be a lot of inaudibles
most of the stuff is audible if you tweak audacity, audition etc
of course we will try our best to do it
is it one audio file or several audio files ? do you need time stamps ?
one file
what do mean by time stamps?

please check the sample file attached
why don't I send you a two minute sample and see how you do?
sorry .... after completion of more than 1200 projects and with more than 975 reviews we have decided on a policy that we DO NOT PROVIDE FREE SAMPLES in any case whatsoever
no I don't need time stamp thanks
okay
but I will need regular updates
say every 90 minutes
of what you have transcribed so far
do you mean after we are done with 90 minutes of transcription we should send it to you ?
no when you have spent 90 minutes on transcribing the 3.5 hour tape send me what you have done
how far you've got every 90 minutes
I don't want to wait when you have completed the whole transcribing
so i want to see the work in progress every 90 minutes
what is your time zone ? we can send partial deliveries to you three or four times in a day... what time zone should we send updates
UK
and you want 16 updates sent to you in 24 hours ?
LOL
maybe not 16 but I want to know you are on the right track
The first 3 or 4 updates are very important to give me confidence
:) I understand your concern but you are giving just 24 hours to transcribe a 3.5 hours long audio which is Inaudible according to you... considering the tight deadline we will have to assign this among several transcribers.. and if we keep on sending your updates how will we meet your deadline ?
I will try and send you updates but cannot guarantee an update every 90 minutes
2 hours then
can you extend your deadline ?
just send me 4 every 2 hours
how much by?
only some of the audio is unclear
tomorrow midnight GMT ?
how many updates?
and when will i get the firts 2 updates?
I will send the first update today within 4 hours after the job is awarded.... then two-three more after every 2 hours today and then another two three tomorrow before it is completed
great
If after the second update it is full of errors then I will cancel
is that understood
?
I would like to listen to the file first in that case
I will send you a small sample okay
its better if you send full file... just want to check the audio

just put it in a table and number it
what table ?
[login to view URL]
its like yours but numbered and in a table
OK and it should be numbered at every sentence or how ?
sorry?
what do you mean?
just told you what I mean
It should be done in the xample I sent you
example
lets say if Arshad speaks for 10 minutes how should be transcribe it ?
and how should we number it ?
so 10 minutes will be say 1
I don't want every line numbering
ok fine
Can you put another bid in?
so I can accept
but 180 is too low
can you increase it a bit ?
okay 200
OK as your project minimum budget is 250 so I cannot change it to 200
you can Hire Me directly from my profile
okay
You have the file
I am very much interested lets discuss ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can do these professionally using a foot pedal. I can also improve the audio. have added a few pounds for the extra audio improving and it will still be around 10 pound an hour.
All transcription is verbatim and checked for errors.
I am based in London and UK native.
Thanks

Hi
I am a first generation Australian with British parents who was born and raised in Adelaide SA where I did all my schooling and have spent most of my working life; so my English is extremely good. I have good computer and MS Word skills and can touch type at well over 40 words per minute, and can make modifications to your audio file in Audacity to make it clearer.
I am interested doing your transcribing work. Because I don't have much work scheduled at the moment I expect that I will get your transcribing done within 24 hours of being awarded the project but at the latest I will have it done within 48 hours.
Best Regards
Michael Jenkins
