A One-on-One interview is one person interviewing another person (e.g. a sit-down interview) in person. The interviewee’s responses are transcribed verbatim. The interviewer’s questions are paraphrased for clarity. We bill at one of two rates depending on audio quality and accents.
- Type-1 covers professionally recorded audio in a quiet environment with no background noise and Standard American Dialect.
- Type-2 covers audio with accents, background noise of any kind, and files with sub-optimal recording quality.
Pricing: Please select one of the following options:
Type 1 materials are typically produced by film or television crews using professional recording techniques and have the following characteristics:

- > 22khz sample rate for digital files.
