Looking for a transcription service that’s affordable and reliable? Opal Transcription Services offers cheap transcription services for certain types of audio.

Finding an affordable transcription company that produces consistently high-quality work is a tremendous challenge. This is because the transcription agencies that boast the lowest rates also tend to be the ones that hire inexperienced typists or outsource cheaply offshore.

We work strictly with US and Canadian transcriptionists who have a strong grasp of North American language, idioms, and customs. Because of this, our transcripts are always up to standard.

Our usual rates for transcription range between $1.50-$3 USD. However, we offer discounted rates of as low as $1 USD per audio minute for clearly recorded one-speaker audio. This includes the following types of transcription:

Please send your audio to info (at) opaltranscriptionservices.com for a quote. To transfer the files, we recommend using a free file-hosting service like Dropbox or Google Drive.

If you prefer, we can also send you a link to a private Dropbox folder where you can upload your audio or video files directly.
