Transcription of small MP3 files

Completed Posted Jul 9, 2015 Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

I have long term work available if the price is right. I already have several working for me but they are falling behind schedule because business is growing. The audio files are from a gate guard that is logging traffic at their site.

The guard's are American with clear midwestern accents. The recording gear has noise cancellation and are pretty clear in my opinion. You may have a different opinion so I have attached 3 samples that were randomly pulled from this batch. They often give spellings of drivers or companies with abnormal names. License plates are usually read with phonetic alphabet letters. So a license plate that reads RP564T would usually be read into the microphone as "Romeo Papi five six four Tango.

We are ONLY transcribing the INBOUND logs. If the file says that the vehicle is outbound you will skip the transcription of that file and move the outbound file to a subdirectory, then continue with the task of transcribing the inbound vehicles. 90% of these files have been sorted and do not include any outbound files.

The files average about 11 seconds in length. I have several thousand files so I will divide the files into sets of about 800. The jobs will be awarded to several freelancers each working on a different set of files.

The transcriptions will go onto a spreadsheet and I have included the template spreadsheet file to be used in the compressed set of files. We are aiming for 90%+ accuracy, and I understand some files may not be understood or the guard himself might even make mistakes. If a file can not be transcribed please move the file to the sub-directory entitled "Manager" to have a native speaker try to transcribe the file.

The job has a deadline of 12 hours from the point the files are uploaded to you. The rate of pay to my team is typically on a per file basis, because the files are so small typical transcription rates are difficult to apply. I understand that there is a $5 fee for small jobs on Freelancer so I will pay $20USD plus $5USD for each set for a total of $25USD per set.

If you are, or you have a team, and would like to take on more than one set, let me know, however the time deadline still applies. Good luck and I look forward to working with you.
