Estimate Fees The best way to estimate your fees is to look at an existing transcript in Microsoft Word that is of similar size to the file you plan to upload.  Within Word, click on Tools, Word Count, Characters (with spaces) and multiply it by the above rates.  If you do not have an exemplar transcript to look at, a general estimate is about 1,000 characters per 1 minute of recording.  This estimate is based on averages of files we have transcribed.  Your actual number of characters per minute may vary considerably.  For instance, if there is silent time in the voice file, there will be fewer characters per minute.  On the other hand, if the speakers are talking very quickly, there may be more characters per minute.
