“Basic Editing” is an audio-to-text conversion clean up only.  This means that I correct the transcript to accurately reflect the dialogue for all audible portions of the recorded interview, without any additional editing.  You are charged for the call time plus real time review of the call, plus 30 minutes of basic editing per hour of call. For example, if our call is 60 minutes and you request basic editing, you would be charged for 2.5 hours of services (the 60 minute Call, plus my real time review of the Call’s 60 minute audio file, plus 30 minutes of editing).

GEMS:

50-60 minute Call plus Focused Editing.
Delivery of audio MP3 file and two text files: the Basic Edit and the Focused Edit. $400.

“Focused Editing” is Basic Editing plus edits to organize the content and improve grammar. Focused editing may also include additional questions, suggestions, ideas, or resources that you may wish to consider.  Focused editing is charged at 3 hours of edit time per 60 minute Call (a total of 4 hours).
