0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.

1000 LINES PER DAY
How long does it take to do 1000 lines per day for a mix of dictators for acute care. Thanks
1000 lines a day. nm

I had over 1000 lines my first day
Still going up as I build my Expanders and get used to the docs.
I produce around 1000 lines per day...
I have seen my production increase quite a lot in the last four months. When I first started I could only get about 500 lines a day...so I get a little more every day. :-)
at 80+ reports a day, you are getting more than 1000 lines in
nm
eTransPlus is 1000 lines per day. nm

1000 lines in eight hours??
If a person types that slow then obviously being an MT may not be for them!  I type around 300 LPH and that averages up to a lot more than 7 bucks an hour.
If you can't make 1000 lines in 8 hours,
in the wrong profession.
1000 lines discrepancy needs to be fixed.
nm
goodness 1000 lines short!!!
It kinda sounds like problems on both sides to me.
Not a good thing. Hope you get paid and the correct amount. Labor Board
The company DOES have a way to figure out how many lines you did FOR SURE. Really think they don't and would depend on the MT for the count. They have all sorts of ways to manipulate the count too.
Must be a small company. 1000 lines/day is not that impressive. nm

For companies that hire FT 1000-1200 lines, what happens when
Due to low work or a particularly bad day maybe in which you struggled with difficult physicians? I am an IC so never had to deal with how many lines to get in a day or having to keep up with a certain quota. I am not particularly interested in any insurance or anything but perhaps PTO and 401k, so taking a look around and trying to figure it all out. Thanks MTs!
7 cent a line $8.75 hr (1000 lines 8 hr=$70) TERRIBLE nm

Northeast Transcription says that FT is 32 hrs/1000 lpd, but 70-char.lines with all spaces and

Full time empoyee status only -- 1000 lines/day, 10,000 per pay period.

They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
NO WORK at Transtech -- did no good to work the holiday for 1.5 lines, did it?
I am sure the office staff will share their PAID HOLIDAY MONIES with us who sit here with no work.  This has gotten to be such a frustrating profession.  I guess I need to relocate to Houston so that I can work in the office, too, and reap those wonderful paid benefits that us at-home piecemeal workers do not get.
Webmedx - low work ? Can you make up lines when work available (sm)
or do you have to schedule a make up time or just do without the lines? 
Can only get lines if there is work and that has been
a rarity lately, but they still keep advertising for more help.
Yep, but be sure to ask how many have to work 40 anyway to get their lines. nm

I'd just like to have some work!! I ran out after only 172 lines! UGH! nm
x
Where do you work making all those lines?
nm
IC cannot be told I need you to work between 1 and 5 but they can say I need these lines by
:+
If you can't get your lines because of lack of work what
good is it going to do to pay a bonus based on lines produced.   I'm not dumb enough to be fooled by that ploy. 
What crap! I get my lines in and they ask me to work
extra all the time.  There is no way to indicate OT, just total lines, at least on my accounts.  Everything I say can be documented.   You need to get your facts straight before you start throwing that BS around.
If you ask for more lines, they'll work with you (NM)
:D
Where I work we were told we HAD to get our lines in - sm
So right now many of us have been camping out at the computers fighting for every line we can get.  Not sure I am going to last much longer at this pace. 
How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
Is it hard to get lines at Precyse? Does work run
nm
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
You will work many hours over 40 to meet your lines nm
nm
Which means you can get a lot of lines by doing shoddy work? nm

How do you get your required lines if there was no work at DSG or Keystrokes. Is
that a problem with them if there is no work or what do you do.  Thanks!
I was referring to the no work situation and getting in lines. nm
:
Beyond Text doesn't work long enough to allow you to get any lines. nm
nm
Poster means work any possible time you can to get in your lines.

Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out
s
Just wondering - how many hours do you normally have to work to make your 500 lines? Thanks! NM
NM
Even if you're FT, you'll be lucky to have enough work to get your lines,
x
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC

Keystrokers - do you work in Word - Can you use ShortHand - How many lines for fulltime? Thanks

Good luck, I think everyone enjoys the lines from psych work. (nm)

When you run out of work doyou have to make up lines/hours to keep bennies? (nm)
,
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
I work that, had TONS all day long, never ran low got to 1500 lines WITHIN my shift too. nm
nm
If you are doing 2400 lines in an 8 hour day, working 5 accounts +, running out of work on all 5,

then pray tell us how you are doing it.  I certainly would like to share this with MQ because I also have done this many years, know my work, and there is no way to do 2400 lines because most days all the accounts are out of work.

Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
