For a variety of reasons, speakers can be hard to understand. The way in which some speakers pronounce, enunciate, and articulate words can slow down typing speeds and thus increase the time needed by us to complete some recordings (see:HERE). Examples include strong regional accents, English as a second language speakers, or simply just speaking fast and lacking articulation can mean the typist has to slow the audio down, and replay passages to decipher what is being said. The rate that we charge needs to reflect any additional time we are spending on a project. Not all speakers are easy to understand.
