Academic Transcription

ADA offers specially tailored transcription services to students and teachers. We may offer students a one-time service such as providing them with a transcript of interviews for their doctorate, a recurring service such as a professor who likes to provide students with transcripts of their lectures, and everything in between.

A few of the common academic related audio files
we often receive include:
  • Interviews
  • Lectures
  • Guest speakers
  • Conferences
  • Doctorate work
  • Consumer Research
  • Speeches
  • Dissertations

      ...and many more.

Rates

Rates for clear, well-recorded audio.

ADA Transcription is the process of updating their rates, and their website. Please email us at info@adatranscription.com and we'll send you our rate sheet directly.

A few notes about our rates:
1) We do offer personalized pricing. If you have a special situation, or feel that pricing should be agreed upon differently, give us a call. We do our best to accommodate all of our customers.

2) The additional cost for 3 or more speakers does vary. If you only have three speakers, you do not need the speakers to be labeled specifically, and/or the speakers are very simple to tell apart, then that additional price may be lowered. Contact us for details.

3) Additional cost for difficult audio varies based on difficulty. Generally it is around 20 cents per audio minute. If it needs to be more, you will be contacted BEFORE any work is done. (See Service Agreement).
