In Reply to: Could you share how much KS pays cpl on ortho accts? Thanks.. nm - Looking for recommendations
more lines in 6 hours than I used to in 8 hours at a small company in Tampa. It might be because I have two doctors that I am responsible for and am the only ones that do them. I also help on two others when their Transcriptionist is off or has too much.

Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR

I had no idea when I started - the reason I accepted
was that she had an acct I had worked on before and loved it. I got in touch with them, knew nothing really about the company per se. I really make what I think is a very good salary but then again what one does is not what another does as far as line count. I happen to be extremely fast and can really yo-yo on my account. I have no complaints at all about the type of work - only the part about the lateness and this is really the first time for me. Had also not heard about some previous posts about business ethics.
Just started it last month. It is nice and easy to learn
as long as you have experience with ExText or ExSpeech....All the things I thought were flukey with ExSpeech have now been corrected in EX Editor. You will enjoy it.
Is there a reason All Type seems to be always hiring lately. nm
:
Pro-Type in Penn. used to use this. A contact said it was easy
s
DocQscribe is the best in my book! You just type. Very easy, nm
nm
Same reason people type "I could of" instead of "I could have," I guess, or sm
say I could care less, when the phrase is I couldn't care less.
Are lines easy to get, more typing than
filling in demographics? Are sound files good overall? How strict are they on schedule - are they rigid or can you have a little flexibility.
I hit 1200 lines a day easy, sm
I hit 1200+ daily at Axolotl. I was reaching my line counts within the first week. As stated in another message, it could be the difference in accounts/dictators. I work on several accounts though.
With Transtech, how easy is it to get your minimum lines
nm
1100 lines a day which is EASY to meet sm
I am fairly fast, but I got that 1100 on MY VERY FIRST DAY!!!
Lines are easy to get and I have so much work, it is unreal. I can and want to go all day and past it. I still have 4.75 hours to make up this week, but the work is holding at a high level and they are so low stress, I am not tired right now after 9.5 hours today, just want a break for a bit and a hot meal, then back to it.
I can't say enough good things about this place, I just can't.
I just started there and there is no limit, you can type away!! nm
nm
Can you say where you work where it's so easy to make your lines? All I come across is crap out
s
I work on Scribe...very easy to get lines in my opinion...
money is also decent...
OSI rocks. Easy lines. 900+ in 4 hours - now wish i would have stayed with them. nm
nm
nothing but repetative phrases, piece of cake. just be easy lines.
and tons of just use my normal templates.
Ever think of that?
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
If you can only type 500 lines a day- LOL
nm
That should be the more lines you type sm
sorry, long day already.
No, for every 100 lines you type you get paid 100
The ctrl-I counts headers and footers in the line count on the Extext document. However, you get paid for what you type, not the headers which were already in place. Maybe one day there will be a perfect line counter where neither of them counts headers but for now there are two different counters, the one that comes with the Extext document itself (including headers) and the one that comes from WHAT YOU ACTUALLY TYPE AND ARE PAID FOR. How much simpler does this need to be explained? You get paid for what you type - everything you type. Period. Okay? Just because Extext counts the header doesn't mean a thing because ichart counts what you type and that is what you are paid by. So far, there is no system for Extext to NOT include the header because it is reading the entire document including the header (that you didn't put type in the first place). Extext count is wrong (although a little higher). ichart count is correct.
If you type 200 lines that is only $4.00 an hour?
Not even minimum wage. Tell them to go on to India if that is all they are paying.
I do get holiday pay PLUS all the lines I type
My company pays for holidays and if you work them, you still get your holiday pay plus what you type.
you type 250 to 350 lines per hour?
you type that fast?
On the new plan, if I type at 1500 lines a day at

I know you need to type 1800 lines a day in order to get 11 cpl.

if you type 1500 lines plus per shift
with what seems to be the most popular company to work for. I'm job looking. I do believe I may have to apply! What's the difference between Meditech magic and Meditech XL?
Lines to type would be nice for MT week.
Wait, you can only type 1200 lines a day?
You can't type more?
Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
Don't twist my words. I said that I type 1600+ lines per day. sm
I do. My personal requirement for myself is 1600 lines, 1400 lines if I am not feeling well or have kids home without a babysitter. MOST days I type in the 2500-3000 line range. There are days I do more than that, but not many. I do not work overtime very often; I have 5 kids and it is impossible for me to do so. Don't read more into this than there is.
Current Transcend employees...what type of lines...sm
What type of line counts are you getting as far as VR on the Beyond Text platform? I am rather new and not getting a very good line count and was wondering if there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have gone through all the resources on the main website to help enhance line count, but not seeing much of a difference. Thanks. 
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm

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

Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!

I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

I was hired and started in 1 week. That is not a long set-up time. When I started with our local h
I needed to get a physical and go through orientation at the hospital which is only given two times per month. This is a 900-bed hospital, so it cannot be an unusual process. MQ took 2 weeks. KS took 1 week. SoftScript never got me started even after repeated calls and emails.
I have only been with KS for 9 months but would never put them in the same catagory as the others you mentioned. They are the best company I have worked for, and unfortunately, I have bounced around a little in the last 5 years.

You can be fired for any reason or no reason at all.
No one HAS to employ you. No one MUST keep you in employment.
As an IC, your unemployment isn't coming from the account of your contracts! It comes from YOUR tax payments!
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

Webmedx watches every min you type or don't type.
I personally didn't like logging off to go to the bathroom or get a drink or whatever. Drove me nuts. They were too regimented for me. Not sure if you are aware they do that. Part of working at home is the flexibility and they just weren't. Good Luck
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
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
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a

Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
It's not 1600 lines -- it's 16,000 lines...and
I've got my contract right here and have already gotten 2 checks and YES, I am getting 9.5 cpl base rate.
I don't know what other people are getting. Don't really care. I work for MY paycheck. Gosh.
Why would they "fix" lines? The more lines you
transcribe, the more you make, the more you make, the more you make. It wouldn't profit any company to put a lid on line counts.
