: Good point, Alice. When there is low-quality audio or foreign dialects, I do charge a 15% surcharge. Forgot to mention that.
One of the benefits to using the per-line though, is that I and several of my associates are FAST. We've built a ton of shorthands into AutoCorrect and AutoText and it's not unusual to make $30+ per hour on straightforward, non-technical accounts. You sure can't charge a client that, but that's what it works out to based on our per-line rate. So it incentivizes the staff to move faster with great reward.
