$250-750 AUD

Paid on delivery
I have 6 audio files (totalling 160 minutes) that I need transcribed.  We want a 7-day turnaround from commencement of the job. They are all in Australian English. Check the attached files as you need to be able to parse the accent. The audio files have two people in them, an interviewer and interviewee. You will need to label them as person A and person B in the transcription. Hence you will need to be able to tell the difference in the voices. No need to transcribe non-voice sounds (such as background noise). Each audio file should get its own word document. Attached is an audio file labelled SAMPLE, and a word document labelled SAMPLE. These are pre-done and NOT part of the job, but are here to illustrate format required. Please check the format prior to bidding. The target audio files for transcribing are at these dropbox links: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Any inaudible moments please label as (INAUDIBLE 3:52), including the brackets and the time stamp from where the inaudible component begins. This will allow for later follow up. IMPORTANT Using default MS word layout for the pages (Arial 12pt, single spaced) we are setting a criteria of no more than 5 errors per page of text. Three pages of text will be randomly selected after you have submitted the job, and checked for errors. If there are more than the set number of errors the job will require you to revise before payment. We will show you the pages and the errors though as evidence, so we won’t be wasting your time. After you resubmit a NEW three pages will be selected and checked for errors. This process will continue until the error criteria is met. No payment will be made until this criteria is met. We define an error as any incorrectly transcribed words, mis-spelling of a word, mis-attribution of audio to Person A or B, and any incorrect word order. Each incidence of these is counted as an error. If you are unsure of the spelling of any proper nouns (such as the names of brands), please make a guess (and be consistent with that guess) but ALSO label that as inaudible using the format above. That guess for proper nouns, if formatted as stated here, is not an error. NO PARTIAL PAYMENT WILL BE MADE - You must submit the complete job for payment. If you 'run out of time' or cannot complete for any reason (outside of Freelancer breaking or something) then there will be no partial payment for the work you did do.  We do this as sometimes people stop and start tasks and this extends our timelines in our projects unpredictably.

Thank you for providing such a detailed description of your project and also the files that you want transcribed. I have had a little listen to two of them. I have bid on seven days, as that is your turnaround time, but expect to be able to complete the project sooner. I have been a transcriber for 15 years and therefore have the appropriate software and equipment to efficiently type your material, as well as experience in this type of work. I was graded as a platinum transcriber with Document Technologies, Inc., the company I worked for on a regular basis. This work included court hearings, telephone calls and interviews and required a high level of accuracy. I registered with Freelancer two years ago and have 168 reviews, all positive. English is my first language and my skills include technical writing, editing and proofreading. I have completed more than 20 transcription projects with Freelancer and received very good feedback.

Hi, there - My name is Saheed. I’ve read your brief and can see that you’d like a transcriber to transcribe your multiple Audio files. I have 3 years experience in transcription and r In 2015 I transcribed and translated Dirilis Ertugrul for free to STR from S1E2 - S1E15(Dirilis Ertugrul is a Turkish TV Series). These translated transcripts are available in my portfolio as a reference and are the only English transcript of this TV Series in STR format online. After transcript, I would proofread the text for Grammar and spelling. I am highly qualified for this project as I work professionally as an editor and transcriptor backed with an MBA degree with I T Security knowledge and fluency in English Language. Feel free to contact me as I would love to speak with you about taking this project on. If you would like to view my previous work, take a look at my Freelancer Portfolio. Kind Regards, Sidodus

I have read the requirements and I can easily get the job done. I have excellent English communication skills and I am currently residing in Australia. So I can understand the accent pretty well. I will also make sure to research any parts that don't seem clear to me. You can see my previous transcription work if you are interested.
