How long does it take to type one (1) hour of audio? The standard is four (4) hours to transcribe one hour of audio, or 4:1. This is the norm for CLEAR audio. This is especially helpful with a foot pedal. Bad, muffled audio and multiple speakers is a whole other story. Also, time stamping is a factor.

I have a foot pedal but I learned how to transcribe without one. Any transcriptionist with years of experience should be able to pull off transcribing without the aid of a foot pedal. This was in response to an ad for transcribers. Many companies will require you to have a foot pedal. If you don't, you'll have to purchase one before you are able to begin any work it seems. It is a smart investment but, as I said, if you've been transcribing for years, you likely don't need one.
