Audiobooks
EXAMPLE:
Job = 65,000 word audiobook script.
65,000 words / 150 wpm = 433 finished minutes
433 finished minutes / 60 = 7.2 finished hours
7.2 finished hours x $300 = $2,160 Total Cost
eLearning Projects
Total Word Count x $0.25 = e-Learning Recording Fee
# of files saved x $1 each = File Splitting Fee
e-Learning Recording Fee + File Splitting Fee = e-Learning Quote
EXAMPLE:
Job = 35,000 word e-Learning script, saved as 75 individual audio files.
35,000 words x $0.25 per word = $8,750
75 files x $1 = $75
$8,750 + $75 = $8,825 Total Cost

***For medical or technical scripts, add 10%.

If it were a medical script, the total cost would be $750 (base cost) + $75 ($750/0.10) = $825
