Hello everyone,
I have been approached by a company to do phonetic transcription and they are asking me how much my productivity would be per day. This is a very strange request, because I am familiar with IPA and audio transcription, but I've never had to do phonetic transcription for hours.
I have tested this myself, and I feel my productivity would be 40 per hour. Of course, I've never done this task for a long period of time, so I am not sure and I want to know whether I am way below average.
