Estimation of transcription workload 謄寫工作量估計

譯者不應該高估一日的工作量，謄寫工作尤其需要小心。表面上來看，一日之內謄寫40至60分鐘的清晰錄音或錄影檔案或者辦得到。 如果工作八至十小時，閣下或可以寫完所有字句。若客戶要求非常仔細的時間碼紀錄，例如每一句或每一個講者的時間碼紀錄，大概還需要三至四小時。若將工作分開兩天完成，大概是相當安全的安排，除非你有足夠耐心一整天只處理同一個案子。 更安全的工作安排就是連續兩天謄寫30分鐘的錄音檔，第三天才寫時間碼紀錄。第一天謄寫40分鐘的檔案，第二天再寫20分鐘加上時間碼，亦是行得通。 Translators should not...
