| Transcription Services |
There are so many different types
of transcription services available in the market these days. Like anything
else in the market, these transcription services have different levels of
charges. Some of them cost a lot of money while others cost much less than
that. Mostly, the difference in the costs because of the quality of the
transcripts but it is also because of the different charging methods used by
the transcription services providers. The most frequently and commonly used
transcription charging method is called per line of typed text method.
Per line of typed text is
normally explained as: a common measurement instrument has been set which puts
one typed line of a transcription to be equal to sixty five key strokes. The
way it works is that the transcription services providers and their customers
agree on a fixed rate per one key stroke and then the customer is charged
according to the number of keystrokes transcribed for him or her. This method
is used a lot in medical transcription industry than any other field. This is a
very effective method of charging for transcription but it comes with a risk. The
customer does not know how much he or she is going to pay for the transcription
services until the final bill arrives.
