What is the going rate to transcribe an oral lecture to paper form?
My son is working on his PhD and one of the prof's suggested he do it for free.
He feels he should be compensated and I agree. The other two TA's agreed to do it for free. The school is on the west coast and a very large public school in LA.

I'd love to help you but all of my oral lecture transcription compensation expertise was with very large public schools on the East Coast.

So a totally different market.

professional - about $1 a min.

For amateur - .25-.50/min of clear audio - - say $25 per hour.

is it worth $25/hour to be a pain to his PhD professor?

you should spot him a Franklin and call it even - or better yet - he should tape it and go on Fiver.com and pay someone else about $15/hr to do it for him...

Gah….professors are known for this kind of crap, but that doesn't make it any less inappropriate. I would say something like....'sorry...i'm lousy at typing and it would just come out all wrong. However I'd be happy to point you to one of the many low cost transcription services on the web.' If you want to get serious...CC the department chair...but maybe that's a bit much for the first response.

Use Rev.com. They are the best you’ll find. I’d be lost without them.

I cannot believe the sack on the Prof,
If he’s got 2 already saying they will do for free, let them kiss *** and do it.

In an effort to make this more interesting for the board members, Have your son say
"Hey Siri" then start the lecture.
Then post what Siri captures

Kid sounds lazy. It's an hour or two of his time for the person that is advising him on his career. Plus it sounds like it'd fall under the domain of TA responsibilities which are usually required as part of the program. Just my 2 cents.

He is not advising my son. He was stuck with the foreign based prof from Russia for this under grad class at UCLA. He insist on talking to him on Sunday for 2 to 2 1/2 hours on structure and integrity. Note: there were 5 students in my son's group that were found with plagiarism on the mid term. The prof gave a choice of retaking the class or challenge him front of a student group.
