CLEAR COMMERCIAL EXPECTATIONS
Commercial Terms & Pricing Approach
Clear billing structures. Project-specific quotations. Defined commercial expectations.
Standard pricing—under review
Rates are quoted following scope review. Commercial terms depend on the required service, language pair, qualifications, volume, assignment length, location, and delivery conditions. This page describes our pricing approach, not a binding rate card.

Translation · per word
Subject matter, complexity, certified review requirements, formatting and turnaround.
Transcription · audio
Audio quality, number of speakers, verbatim rules and translation.
Voice-over & video
Talent, licensing, studio needs, editing, mixing and revisions.
On-site projects

Open budget estimator ↗Why not publish one number?
The appropriate rate depends on the language pair, expertise, length, deadline, logistics and staff requirements.
Are estimates binding?
No. A formal written scope and accepted quotation govern a specific service.
Can an LSP request subcontractor pricing?
Yes. We can discuss project-specific and volume-sensitive commercial structures after scope review.
