Top-rated by Clutch
We’re proud to be named by Clutch as a trusted leader in outsourcing.
A transcriptionist converts audio and video recordings into accurate, formatted text. They handle everything from business meetings to legal and medical documentation, ensuring precision and confidentiality. 1840 & Company helps you hire dedicated transcriptionists through our AI-powered Talent Cloud. We tailor each search to your workflow and tools. For example, if your team uses Trint, Otter.ai, or Sonix, we’ll connect you with a transcriptionist for hire who already knows those platforms. This ensures faster onboarding and consistent, high-quality transcription services from day one.
The cost of hiring transcriptionists depends on region, experience, and specialization. Pricing can vary based on whether you hire a remote legal transcriptionist, hire an offshore medical transcriptionist, or hire a general transcription professional. English fluency and accent clarity may also influence rates. Bilingual or multilingual transcriptionists fluent in languages such as Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, and more can also affect the pricing structure. Most businesses save up to 80% compared to traditional U.S. hiring. Rates and time-zone alignment differ across the Philippines, South Africa, and Latin America.
