In Reply to: High producers have most errors ?? sm - MTing

I need to say:
It's consistently producing (not consisting).

If you say THEIR Expander to THEIR benefit, then AN excellent MT should be excellent MTs.

It's need to be repirmanded or need repirmanding.

Your last sentence is a run-on sentence. How about a semi-colon after the word long?

Sorry, there is no perfect MT.

Your expertise in medical terminology
Your expertise in medical terminology, English grammar, spelling, anatomy, medications, laboratory values, etc., is what you are being compensated for.

Well, if all editors do is fill in the blanks, then Ok for low rate. But if they actually have to listen, read the entire report, and make corrections, they are spending JUST AS MUCH TIME as if they had typed it! It is the amount of time spent doing the job that is being re-imbursed not the number of characters/lines. The character/lines is just the method to measure your time and what your time is worth based on your experience/knowlege/ability. An experienced MT should be making $30-40/hr and an IC and the same minus benefits if employee. If the services cannot get the contracts at this price, then they are failures and why work for them?

* cents not good any shift for the expertise wanted

say you do 1000 lines a day, that is 125 lines an hour x 8 hours (take longer make less an hour)

1000 X 8= 10 bucks an hour,$ 80 per day

pretty cheap for the skill, speed and accuracy they expect.

It depends on your level of expertise--great for newbie, bad for expert. nm
