Transcribe 4-hour audio interview(repost)

A 4-hour voice recording of a taped interview and speech to be typed/transcribed into MS Word format. The source audio recording (.wav) is clear, with only a few occasional garbled or muffled portions due to background noise, interruption, or simultaneous talk by the speaker and the interviewer. Less than 5% of the text is by the interviewer, who is farther from the microphone, and somewhat faint to hear, but usually audible. Four .wav sound files are provided. The largest is 200Mb, and may be broken into parts if needed. A sample .wav file "Part 2 trash bags" is provided. Part of the 5 minute sample is worse-than-typical sound quality, and more-informal-than-typical speaking style. The first 1.5 minutes have poor sound quality reflecting only about 5% of the entire 4 hours (before a microphone was adjusted). The rest of the audio is typical of 95% of the audio. Bidders are requested to provide a sample transcription of part of all of the sample file. ## Deliverables 1) MS Word file of entire 4-hour interview. 2) Very minor editing to correct obvious speaker errors and eliminate informalities is needed, perfect "courtroom" transcription is not required. The end product will be edited further by the speaker to be published as a book. Grammar and usage correction is not required. Example: Source audio: "OK, um, now we are lookng at yard bags. The...uh, there are many uses for yard bags [laughter]... sorry about that. One use is to...uh... cut out the corners to make a poncho..." Desired transcript: "Now we are looking at yard bags. There are many uses for yard bags. One use is to cut out the corners to make a poncho..." 3)Paragraphs breaks to be inserted occasionally. 4)Unintelligible text to be indicated in italics, brackets, or other indicator such as a following "[?]" or equivalent symbol. A best guess or phonetic version of unintelligible text to be used when possible. When no guess is possible, a general indication is to be inserted. 6)Obvious off-topic speech and interruptions may optionally be omitted or indicated specially in the transcript. (examples: "Are you ready to start?" "Shall we stop for lunch?" "let me adjust the microphone" "hi, how are you? We're making a recording.") 5)Approximate time code information to be inserted at least approximately every page to indicate the time location in the audio file to enable the audio corresponding to text to be located easily. Time info may be inserted as transcriber desires, at section breaks, paragraphs, unintelligible text. 6)All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
