Description

Project:
I am a writing an e-book on teenage challenges and each chapter will consist of a story of a person who has encountered a problem in the past and how he/she has overcome it. This is only the first part of the e-book. The second part will involve another round of interviews with the professionals for their comments.

Requirement:
I need a transcription of 12 audio interviews in .wma format (lasting 385 mins.) into excellent written British English. The length of each interview ranges from 15 mins to 1hr 15min. Each interview involves myself as the interviewer and the interviewee. I will provide the questions that should be considered when you do the writing as the interviewee will provide the answers in the interview. When you do the transcription, it will NOT be in form of Question and Answer format but in the form of a story-telling format which should include the key questions that I have asked the interviewee. The story must be written in Microsoft word document.

Procedure:
I am looking for 3 transcribers for my shortlist. I will give each one an audio interview to transcribe at no cost. Depending on the quality of the work I receive, I may award all the interviews to one transcriber or half of the interviews to two (out of 3) of the transcribers; and the same transcribers may be engaged for the second part of my e-book. Please provide the fee you would charge if you are successful for the job.

Deadline:
Once I have selected the transcribers I would like the audio interviews to be completed within 4 working days of appointment.

Thankyou for the opportunity to bid for your project. I am an established Virtual Assistant with many years experience in the administrative support and ofcourse, in transcription. I have done many transcription works and I should be able to deliver the best available. My rate is $ 20.00 per audio hour. The total audio hours of your project are not specified, however, I am sure that we can work that out once you are completely satisfied with the work. I think that that is the most important aspect of the project. I look forward to your response. Yours Sincerely, Jyo

Good day, sir. Having previously transcribed my own thoughts from voice recorder to the written page, I am entirely familiar with the idea of transcription. As you are not looking for a word-for-word transcription but rather for the audio files to be the ingredients in a yet unprepared dish, it is with great anticipation that I look forward to weaving a technically and emotionally acurate story from the provided conversations.

I am an author of books on computer applications, written in U.K-English. I am familiar with both British and American accents.Having brought up two teenagers in the past, and working on their own teen-aged children now, I certaily can get into their thought-processes to answer your queries. If you wish me to transcribe your questions as well the answers, that would be fine too. You might find my blogs on vishumenon.wordpress.com rather rebellious, but I can just as well argue from the other side of the debate. Try me.

Hello I am a highly experienced transcriptionist with 30 years experience in the administration and secretarial professions. My recent work has included transcribing court cases and one to one interviews and I would be happy to help you with your project. I type at 85 words per minute and produce clear and accurate transcription for all my clients. You mention you have 385 audio minutes to be transcribed. This would take approximately 25 hours to complete (the national standard is 15 audio mins = 1 hour to transcribe) if the audio is a clear recording. I have placed a bid amount to reflect this. I can offer you a friendly, efficient and confidential service and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Yolanda

Hi. I feel pleasure to write you because you are going to produce such a book which most demanded among teens. Beacuse, there should be a lot for them to learn the lesson from other's problem that they had faced in their past. The interview section would play an interactive role to achieve the objective of your e-book. I really appreciate you ideaolog, the facts and lessons shall be accumulated in a single e-book. I hope, every teen will like it very much. If I talk about my ability to participate in it, It would be my luck to avail this opportunity with such Authors. As I am involved in UK-based medical transcription, I can do this job easily. I am awaiting your test work with a video as well as story type Q&A to get them embeded into it.

I have three years experience in transcription and editing, therefore this wouldn't be a problem and can deliver on the whole project if selected. Further, I am quite proficient at grammar and have a good handle on British English. I will ensure accurate, timely delivery of the transcripts. Narrative writing is something I have experience in, having written articles for magazines in the past as well as short stories. I have reflected the cost per audio hour on the cost of the total project, assuming that I would transcribe 385 minutes; this is about $15 per audio hour. Kindly consider me, I would be happy to work with you.
