A lot of people seem to be very confused when it comes to typing.
- Typing is copying what you see from a document, could be handwriting, could be a pdf etc.
- Formatting of documents: checking the layout, styles, presentation, organising a document to look good, placing the document into manuscript formatting for academic documents e.g. APA, Harvard MLA etc .
- Word Processing can include spreadsheets, graphics, databases, desktop publishing, tables, diagrams, formatting, layout etc.
- Transcription is not classed as typing, you listen to the file and then you transcribe it into a document, there is more skills involved, grammar, listening, sentence construction etc.
These tasks and skills come with difference prices/rates:
- Copy Typing: per page rate
- Formatting, hourly rate
- Word processing, per page or hourly, often dependent on the content and what is involved.
- Transcription: per audio minute, audio hour or hourly rate
With all of these tasks proofreading must be done before sending your work back to the client.
