I’d just like to say thanks for the AWESOME link out to CastingWords! (Though we are a little wary of making our strategy, and delivered turnarounds, quite this explicit :)) Regardless we do love happy customers - and this strategy delivers both in keeping us afloat, and keeping the customers happy.

Wow, I like HN.

Thanks for saving me ~40 hours of brain-melting work this month. The product is awesome. (And built on top of mturk, which just makes my head explode... your Q/A processes must be Space Shuttle quality.) Take my money. Take more of my money. Take as much as you need. I would be a very, very sad podcaster if I had to hire a freelancer to do this every time.

I'll point out that differing classes of service (and rates) for work with different turnaround times is standard in the medical transcription industry. There, a patient could literally be waiting to enter surgery because the transcribed pre-op report is late. But something like clinic notes would be much less time sensitive.

It's a brutal industry, though, lots of price pressure, and seemingly becoming commoditized.
