Book Audio Transcription for Publishing
Budget: €12 – €18 EUR
I have a set of MP3 recordings—each one a narrated chapter of a forthcoming business book—ready to be turned into clean, publication-quality text. Accuracy and speed both matter: the manuscript layout is already scheduled, so I need a precise transcript delivered promptly.
The work is straightforward but detail-oriented. You will:
• Transcribe every word exactly as spoken, preserving the author’s tone and any intentional pauses.
• Break the text into logical paragraphs and headings where they naturally fit, ensuring the final document reads like polished book prose rather than raw dialogue.
• Flag unclear words or audio glitches with time-stamps so I can review them quickly.
• Return the finished file in an editable Word document (or Google Doc if you prefer).
The audio is clean, steady-paced, and professionally recorded, so background noise is minimal. A sample clip is available on request if you’d like to gauge audio quality before starting.
If you have proven experience preparing transcripts for publishing—especially book or e-book projects—please let me know your typical turnaround for roughly an hour of audio and any style guides you follow. Looking forward to working together and getting this manuscript press-ready.
