As a general rule it can take up to one hour to transcribe ten minutes of good quality recorded material. However, the length of time taken to transcribe a recording varies enormously, dependent on the following factors:

  • clarity of the recording
  • clarity of the speaker(s)
  • content of the recording
  • number of people speaking
To keep transcription time to a minimum, try to bear in mind the following points:
  • speak clearly, slowly and at an audible level
  • record in a quiet environment
  • spell out any technical words, names, etc.
  • start recording well before you speak.
