Processing: OCR is $0.02 a page, and ChatSmart chat processing is $5,000 a matter. Review tools are charged per document, with EmailSmart at $0.025 and ReviewSmart at $0.05.
Machine translation runs from $0.94 a file for the first 40,000 files down to $0.38 a file over 100,000. Audio and video transcription has a $625 project setup fee.

Implementation: No general setup fee is listed. Audio and video transcription projects carry a $625 setup fee. Spectra's agreement gives a free Tier 1 support level and a paid Tier 2 expert level.
