How many estimated pages does one hour of recording generate?

The amount of transcription produced during one hour of recording is influenced by various factors, including speaking speed and clarity. On average, one hour of audio can generate approximately 40 pages of written transcript. This estimate is based on the standard transcription rate, where a skilled transcriber typically converts speech to text at a rate of about 150 words per minute.

Given this rate, one hour (which contains 60 minutes) could yield roughly 9,000 words (150 words x 60 minutes). When formatted, this number of words translates to about 40 pages, assuming a typical page contains about 225 words. Therefore, the option indicating about 40 pages reflects a realistic average for the amount of text generated from one hour of recorded speech.
