Attention All University Researchers! Expend your grants on time with Pacific Transcription’s flexible options
Whether you’re a University staffer or PhD student or both, end of year not only means frantically finishing marking and finalising focus group recordings for transcription and analysis, but also making sure that you expend your grants on time and in line with your budget.
Feel like this…
Instead of this? Let Pacific Transcription smooth the waters.
At Pacific Transcription we can help you get your transcription needs under control as well as expend your grants within the set time frame, with a range of practical options to suit many situations.
Expend your grants on time – consider Pacific’s Student/Volume Rates with a Flexi turnaround
Consider Pacific’s flexible turnaround option for audio files that don’t have to be transcribed immediately. The Student/Volume Rate is designed for researchers who have large volumes of audio (20+ hours) or self-funded students, that is, students who are paying for transcription out of their own pockets (not receiving university or third party funding).
Because the flexible option encompasses a turnaround of two or more weeks, you pay less per audio minute than Standard turnaround rates. This is a great solution for researchers who have a high volume of audio hours to be transcribed, but no imminent deadline for completion.
Even if you have less than 20 hours of audio ready for upload, at this busy time of year it is still worth emailing the Operations Team to see if this option is available to you.
Pacific Transcription’s prepaid transcription credit options – helping many researchers expend their grants on time
Another excellent option Pacific offers is Prepaid Transcription. Prepaid Transcription allows researchers to pay for their transcription costs with their grant funding before the audio files are transcribed. This option works well for researchers who need to submit a transcription invoice before the end of the calendar year or before their grant closes or expires, but have yet to complete their planned focus group or interview recordings.
This option ensures researchers are covered for future transcription requirements within that funding allocation, and also means there’s one less thing to worry about!
Pacific’s Prepaid Transcription Credit option offers peace of mind – so you can be sure that your future research interviews and transcription requirements are covered. Contact our Accounts Team to request an invoice for a specific prepaid transcription amount. For the ultimate in versatility, purchase transcription in lots of $500 – in addition to other transcription products – from our online shop. We can be as flexible as you need.
If you find that none of the listed options suit your specific and immediate needs, just drop us an email at enquiries@pacifictranscription.com.au or give us a call on 1300 662 173 to see how a professional transcriber can make your life easier, so you can have a restful break before the New Year dawns.
