Forum: Copywriting / transcreation Topic: Iapwe.org: opinions about Poster: Elena Pizzetti Post title: was scammed by them I wish I had read this and other threads before yesterday… Upon receiving their invitation, I ended up registering with their "free subscription" plan, ending up having a recurring payment of $4,99 activated on my PayPal account, which was never mentioned in the registration plan. Canceling it took more than one hour, they don't reply to emails, there's no way to cancel it on their website and the instructions on how to do it on PayPal don't reflect PP's UI. Their Trustp ..read more

Forum: Copywriting / transcreation Topic: Transcription rates Poster: Srini Venkataraman Post title: Transcription I used to do transcription +translation. But the agency wants 1)transcript 2)translation copies. If the interim transcript is not required then the output is much better. Transcript alone takes about 9-10 minutes per 1 audio minute in Tamil and Telugu, being inherently difficult compared to English typing. If translating directly, the output is still 8-9 minutes per minute. Based on my hourly rates, the minute rate is quoted. The latter is better option, as with translation, high ..read more

Transcription rates | The average rates for transcription can be quite low

Forum: Copywriting / transcreation Topic: Transcription rates Poster: Kristopher Brame Post title: The average rates for transcription can be quite low I mainly do subtitling, but I've done transcription from time to time. It usually takes 7-9 minutes to transcribe 1 minute of audio by hand. If I'm post-editing an AI transcript, it can take something like 2-4 minutes to transcribe 1 minute depending on how well the AI understood. You can use that to estimate an hourly rate. Also keep in mind, it is way more difficult if there are multiple speakers speaking over each other. That really slows y ..read more

Hi Begoña, Only yesterday I was proposed 1.50 EUR per minute for transcription by a translation agency based in India. I suppose it's very low. I'm not interested in transcription, so I deleted the offer (via PROZ). Hope this helps. Best regards, Helene ..read more

Forum: Copywriting / transcreation Topic: Transcription rates Poster: Begoña Recaséns Hello, does anyone know how to charge transcription jobs? I assume it is per minute, but I don't have any idea what the average rate is for this kind of job. Only transcription, not transcription + translation. I did it once, long time ago, and I remember it was very time-consuming. Any suggestion is more than welcome. Thanks a lot. [Edited at 2023-10-10 13:54 GMT ..read more

They only want your personal information, which they can then use for who knows what, and your money if you're ingenuous enough to fall for their siren song. You'll never get any work from people like this and, unfortunately, our profession is infested with them ..read more

Forum: Copywriting / transcreation Topic: Online courses for copywriters Poster: Denis Fesik Post title: The shortest writing course I remember this passage from QB VII (which is a recommended read for reasons other than said passage being funny) where a writer was giving a lecture on how to be a writer. "So you want to be a writer?" he asked, "then why the hell aren't you home writing?" And he walked out of the room. What I mean is, can (and should) this be taught at all? If you are good with language, have read many good books, and feel that you can create new original language rather than ..read more

I usually follow different online courses that I find. I don't seek for a qualification, just to improve my knowledge and to evolve.
