I think "£5,78 per audio minute for closed-captions plus full-service transcription" is very reasonable since this is a skilled task that requires people to literally hyperfocus.
Q: Do you also offer that for #live #broadcasts?
Cuz that may be interesting for some clients I'm aware of...
@kkarhan thanks for the feedback! It really is skilled work requiring lots of hyper focus, especially for public-facing text capture like captions.
We don’t unfortunately do #livecaptioning currently as it’s an even more specialised skill set usually requiring stenography skills we lack. But anything already recorded is very much our thing!
@AAT_transcribes shure...
For live transcriptions, you'd like have to ad a 2 in front of that and have multiple people in rotation to do so in overlapping sessions (like you can see in Germany's federal parlament, where every cough, entering, leaving and disturbance is recorded in real time by stenotypists and automatically translated into full text for the head of parlament.)...
@AAT_transcribes
Still, I think that your rates a very reasonable considering that just subtitles to a movie costs €10k - €100k and that's basically just taking the script with annontations for blind people and timecoding it into an SRT file...
Granted, voice actors cost even more, but yeah, good quality transcriptions and subtitles are expensive to make by virtue of being quite labourous and something that'll not be easy to automate away since quality control is important!
