Transcription rates at Transcript Divas are dependent on two things, turnaround time and difficulty.
Turnaround Time: The faster the turnaround, the more the Divas have to shuffle workaround, and stay up late. Hence, the higher “red-eye” price for faster turnarounds.

| Two speakers + | +$0.50 |
| Unclear | +$0.30 |

Difficulty Add-ons: There are certain factors, outlined in the quote and order forms, that increase the time a project takes to type and can increase the rate. These factors include – groups, unclear recordings, and ESL speakers.
