Hi there. I need somebody to transcribe about 3.5-4 hours of audio interviews. You will need to have a very good level of English and some basic science knowledge. The interviews are with palaeontologists/scientists talking about the work they are doing. If I'm happy with this work there will be ongoing interviews to transcribe over the next 6 months.
I require delivery of the transcripts within a week, and they must be completed to a high standard. I will pay via Paypal. Please let me know if you think you can help.
Cheers, John
This is an example of the kind of text:
"This trend reached its apex when the first feathered dinosaur fossils were discovered in China in the mid-1990s. Then not only did you have dinosaur that were skeletally very similar to birds but which also had feathers. Since that first feathered dinosaur fossil of Sinosauropteryx turned up, many more dinosaurs have been found with feathers and very birdlike behaviours – in a fossilised sense. Nests, birds on top of nests – all very similar to what you see in birds. These trends have all continued, so that these days it’s a very small, albeit fairly vociferous, minority of palaeontologists who don’t believe it. Everyone else is more or less signed up to it. The palaeontologists who don’t believe it, very interesting, can provide no viable alternative for the origin of birds."
I am a fellow Australian and native English speaker, and have experience transcribing a wide variety of accents. I also hold an undergraduate science degree, so I am confident that I will be able to provide you with a quality, accurate transcript of your interviews, using the correct scientific terminology. I look forward to working with you.
Hi
I have been doing transcription jobs for a while now and find myself capable enough to handle them. You can check out the reviews i get from my employers on my profile, i have also been hired for the 4th time by my current employer, so you can be sure of quality work delivered within 4 days. The transcript will be 100% accurate and delivered on time for sure.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Sir,
I am interested in doing this job. I have successfully completed some similar jobs in the past.
It would be helpful if you could send me a sample of the audio file so that I can check its quality.
Thanks and regards,
Joe Martin
Hi,
I am an experienced freelance writer, thus I type very fast. I've done transcriptions before and the people I've worked with were satisfied with the end result. I'm detail-oriented, so I can guarantee 100% accuracy.
I think this is a simple and straight forward project that I can easily handle.
I believe I can complete it in a timely manner and up to your expectations.
I'm available to start right away and finish within 4 days (maybe even sooner). I won't charge more than 80 dollars.
Happy holidays,
Sandra
Hi, I've spent most of my college life in Australia, so I'm not unfamiliar with the type of accents required.
I generally transcribe an hour of audio in 4 hours, so I can hopefully finish a 4-hour audio in 2 days. Try me out, you won't be disappointed!
Having worked for over 15 years in academic administration (at Warwick University, King's College London and The Royal Veterinary College) I have a great deal of experience in transcribing academic/scientific material.
I am efficient, reliable and available to start immediately. As you will see from my English exam I scored 98%, and having lived with Australians for many years I would not struggle with the accent.
I can deliver by Wednesday 2nd Jan if the audio files are sent within the next 24 hours.
Thank you for considering my proposal.
