TranscribeMe is an affordable and accurate transcription service that offers targeted services for various sectors.
Before we talk about TranscribeMe, let’s outline how we assess these types of services. Our series on transcription services apps will evaluate the features, pricing options, competition, and overall value of using each service. However, these are not hands-on reviews since evaluating a service based on a single performance would not be objective. As this is a human-based solution, how good any transcription will be is based wholly on the performance of one or a few individuals and their capabilities on a specific day. All these companies aim to provide a level of service, but it’s for their customers to evaluate if the transcription is appropriate for their exacting needs. What we also consider is how the company is perceived not only by its customers but its employees, who will critically provide the service. Happy employees often do better work or go that extra mile, and conversely, unhappy ones don’t. The company promotes this service as easy to use, accurate and great value for money. Is that an accurate overview of TranscribeMe, or is the user experience slightly different? At the lowest level, TranscribeMe offers one of the cheapest human transcription services around, at just $0.79 per minute for its ‘First Draft’ tier. For that money, you should get a transcription that is 98% accurate on average, and it may be delivered the next business day or within three, ideally. For those wanting a better service, TranscribeMe’s Standard service costs $1.25 per minute. The extra cost guarantees 99% accuracy and 1-3 business day delivery. Both First Draft and Standard can have Speaker ID and timestamps added at extra cost.
