How long is a typed transcript of a given length of recorded audio? The answer is: it depends! Variations among speakers and circumstances make it difficult to calculate a fixed spoken word to text ratio.
However, to help you estimate the length of your finished transcript, we've put together a handy online calculator.
Simply input the length of your audio recording in minutes and click "Calculate" to display the averages, maximums and minimums per word, per line and per page.
The calculator can also help you to compare transcription quotes charged by audio minute, word or line.
