Read the lawsuit. Heavens, it is all clearly

I disagree - haven't read "wonderful" results [2008-11-24]
I was one of the posters. I did not believe the 644, but, I am a fair-minded individual and before I cried foul, I wanted to give it a shot. So I did .. open mind, really tried. Nobody that I read felt they would/could work at that pace all the time, nor did anybody come CLOSE to 644 lph. Our point was to prove 644 lph is NOT realistic, which I think has been the case. I don't see anything wrong with posting our individual findings.

Please read whole post - this sounds bad-not meant [2008-11-24]

Oh Heavens! Did you type this? - if so, [2008-11-22]
kudos to you!! At flex pt, i'm not sure I will have the patience to learn that. :(

Please read [2008-11-22]
This is not to instigate, only a suggestion. I left MQ FT (still PT)a while back. Before I left I emailed the writer of the 644 ASR guy many times. He answered in an incredibly timely manner with 'stock' answers, but he did respond. I implore all of you, if you haven't already, to write concise, respectful emails to him. Posting here really is only a venting outlet. He really needs to answer to us... all of us... that is hs job. If he gets 500 emails... well... ummm maybe he'll have to put his caviar back in the frdge for a few. I've never had any adverse repercussions from my emails, if that is a worry. They want to please the client and they say they want to provide us with a productive working atmosphere... so I'm sure he would welcome input to that end? Even if nothing comes of it, at least they can't say we didn't say anything, and we're kind of giving Mr. 644 a little more legitimacy to his earnings... if you get my drift. I don't think anything will really make a difference, but just giving a suit a glipse into your life, since we do have that opportunity,might be a personal satisfaction, short of many other things we've all thought of! ;-)

This lawsuit covers anyone working [2008-11-20]
for MQ between 1998 and 2008, so yes even though you no longer work for MQ, you would be included.

Whom do I contact to opt out of the MQ lawsuit? [2008-11-20]
I no longer work for MQ but did work there from 1998 through 2008. I don't have access to MQ Central, so could someone please tell me how to opt out of the lawsuit? I don't want anything going to AHDI. Why does MQ get to decide this anyway? Any other lawsuit that I've ever seen won, the winning party gets to decide what to do with the award. MQ must have bought the judge, too.

Lawsuit only for those on MTS platform? sm [2008-11-20]
From the SEC link posted earlier - On February19, 2008, the parties exchanged their Initial Disclosures. Plaintiffs’ disclosures limited their damages estimate to $41million related to alleged underpayment on the MedRite transcription platform; however, plaintiffs stated that they were continuing to analyze potential undercounting and would supplement their damages claim. On March10, 2008, plaintiffs’ moved for leave to file an amended motion for class certification dropping all allegations involving our DEP transcription platform and narrowing the claims asserted regarding the legacy MTs transcription platform (emphasis mine). So does this mean that since I only worked on DocQscribeI amautomatically excluded or does that mean I should opt out in case there are further cases including this? I'm getting most of my information here since I am not with MQ anymore, so any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Reason for lawsuit [2008-11-19]
Hopefully, someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understood it, the lawsuit came about because MQ was figuring the line count one way to pay their transcriptionists, but figured it another way to charge the hospitals and pocketing the difference. Also, the reason we are to either opt in or opt out of the settlement is, if we opt out, we have the option of suing MQ personally, hoping to get more. Like someone pointed out, the proposed settlement divided by the amount of employees likely to share in it, doesn't amount to too much. This is the way I understand it. I may be wrong and if I am, hopefully someone will clarify.

Regarding lawsuit. Am I understanding correctly..sm [2008-11-19]
that is statesthe settlement will be put in some sort of fund and will not be paid to any transcriptionists? So sad, in my opinion, if this is the case.

I thought I read somewhere [2008-11-19]
that they continued to work for MQ a few years after they brought the lawsuit on. Does anyone remember reading that somewhere?

News on MQ Central re: line count lawsuit [2008-11-18]
Have you all read the message about the settlement of the line count lawsuit to be heard in a courthouse inCamden, NJ, in February 2009? MQ is now obviously making us pay for this lawsuit out of our own pockets by dropping our salaries once again. Shouldn'tTHEYbe the ones paying the measly $1,500,000 for playing around with out line counts since 1998 in the first place? Wouldn't it be great if we could get up a crowd of MTs outside that courtroom on that day and scream to be heard to the judge? Or at least let those lawyers see what other outrageous atrocities MQ has done to us MT/MEs. There's time to gather momentum for this date!!

It's the lawsuit that. . . [2008-11-18]
some of the MTs sued MQ about years ago, stating that MQ tweaked their wonderful platform in their favor, i.e., decreasing out line rates unbeknownst to us. After DocQScribe came out, I thought I was losing my mind, typing as good and fast as ever, just making less and less money. If it wasn't for this website, I would have never known there were other MTs out there like me. I used to be able to produce 350 lines an hour in 2001 straight typing (no typo there, folks) and now can barely make 200 straight typing. I can also not keep up that pace 8 hours a day. I wonder what my speed would make me with the good 'ol Word Perfect and cassette tapes we used to use.

Do you have a link for this lawsuit? nm [2008-11-18]

Wow. I saw the lawsuit on MQ central. [2008-11-18]
IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH THE LAWSUIT. The way the company posted it and how you can open it up and read it. I really, really think, gut feeling, that the company is TICKED OFF AND I MEAN REALLY TICKED OFF AT US. The person who posted this and wondered if it had to do with the lawsuit is right. Any Transcriptionist who worked from from Nov. 29, 1998 to Aug 11, 2008, all MT's rights may be affected by this lawsuit. Wow.

link in lawsuit [2008-11-18]
can anyone get the www.transcriptionistsettlement.com ink to work? I can't and just wondered if it's my computer since I've had problems with it here lately.

MT Lawsuit - Are all MTs automatically included... [2008-11-18]
Does anyone know if we must make contact with the plaintiffs (MT) counsel to be included? Or will they already have access to our names via the Q? I just called the 1-800 number on the end of the Summary Notice but got only a recording that stated 'this number is for Medquist only'. Whatever that means. And the www.transcriptionsettlement.com link is not working for me either. I have been with the Q since 1998 and deserve compensation. And after today,no holds barred in getting it!

question on lawsuit [2008-11-18]
did any of you get any info from the state of MN about the proposed settlement? I was just wondering since it states we can obtain a copy of the class action lawsuit by writing or calling. there is a no phone number though to call just an address to write. TIA.

I've read on here that.... [2008-11-13]
some people are being ignored on their requests to go from FT to PT, and some are being told flat out NO, but I believe you are the first person I've read wanting more hours and still getting no response. Its hard to say WHAT is going on anymore, I feel so in the dark with this new CCM, and mine also answers only certain questions and not others. I do hope you're able to get more hours if you need/want them.

I just read it [2008-11-12]
on MQ central. To tell you the truth I thought she had already left! I thought it was around the time that Hoffman guy left!

Please don't leave. Love to read your posts. NM [2008-11-11]

Did you not read what it said? [2008-11-07]
It didn't say that ADP was having issues. It said that ADP was warning that a few REMOTE BANKS do not pick up deposits as timely on holidays. Each bank has its own schedule for handling its deposits. They usually do it several times day/night. MQ has already paid its money to ADP today. ADP already has processed our payrolls for Monday to the banks. It is up the the individual banks to capture the deposit files. Some banks capture files in advance of the time, thus some have access to their money before others. It is a handful of REMOTE BANKS who may have this issue.

I read EXACTLY what it said...DID YOU?!?!?! [2008-11-07]
I DIDN'Tsay it said ADP was having issues. However, ADP should be aware of the issue since the notice says ADP informed MQ. No. It did not sayADP was warning that a few REMOTE BANKS do not pick up deposits as timely on holidays. Did YOU read what the notice said????? It said NOTHING about the delay being due to HOLIDAYS. The holiday isn't even until the day AFTER the pay date. If the $ is available on the10th, it should be picked up by even the most remote bank on the pay date just as it always is. Come on! So, if MQ has already paid its money to ADP today, the direct deposits should be in on the pay datejust like always, correct, since the holiday isn't until the day after pay day? If theindividual banksnormally capture the deposit files on the correct pay date, and the $ has been sent to ADP everyone should get paid on thecorrect pay date, Monday. If the technical problems that prompted the noticeare holiday-related, asyou suggest, then there should have been no notice because there should be no delayin direct deposits (except for those employees whose direct deposits are normally late every paydate anyway and they would already know to expect their $ late) because the holiday isn't until the day after payday. Also, if this is only with remote banks, then there should have been no notice sent out because this is more likely than not a common occurrence with those who use those remote banks and they already know their $ will be late. I'm not really worried because I think my $ will be in my bank right on time Monday morning. MQ has never let me down before. I'd just like to know what the technical problem is.

Not looking for a win, just not going to stand for someone telling me I didn't read what I read. [2008-11-07]
Again, not trying to win, justpointing out your mistake in calling me out which, judging from your defensive reaction, I was correct in doing. Darn if they do warn, darn for sure if they don't! ???? How aboutpaying on time or giving some (and ACCURATE) detail on the reason why not? Or, perhaps, not sending out a potentially panic-creating notice to thousands of people for something that may and may not (according to the notice and you) affect a very few? My bank is incredibly remote.I called them to see if they blow off accepting direct deposits theafternoon before a holiday. They thought that was funny. No. They don't.If a bank did do such a thing,it wouldn't be a technical issuefor MQ, ADP, or the bank. It wouldbe a bank policy issue. I didn't say there was anything wrong with a heads up.However, if youreally know what you're talking about with the $ already being sent,an accurate notification should be in order. Atechnical issue, it's not. Geesh back at 'cha!

Read posts earlier--a lot were "let go." [2008-11-01]

Just read all the threads below. [2008-10-31]

ticket # [2008-12-01]
I got a ticket # and I read the policy on it - it sounds like either way within a short period of time, someone is supposed to contact you to tell you they put you in a pool with work or that you should take off and use PTO or make it up later. . But I haven't heard anything back yet.. after 2 hours.

The company I was with before MQ used to pay us [2008-12-01]
downtime when there was no work, not try to make us use our PTO. I read MQ's downtime policy & thought they did the same. Someone posted below that they got paid minimum wage when there was no work....?

Totally frustrated [2008-12-01]
I keep reading these posts and the good part is, I can relate to the issues...the bad part is, we all have these problems and it seems nothing is done about them as far as MQ is concerned... First, I read the policy regarding no work SEVERAL TIMES...it is not very concise...saying they will pay you minimum wage and then saying you have to take PTO or make up the time. I am very angry as like others here, have followed the policy, called for the ticket number, wrote my CCM, CCA and CRC with the number. My reply from one (as the other two are still out of the office) was: Please review and follow the Work Availability Process. You may take PTO or flex your time. I encourage you to work with your CCM's during the upcoming holidays as they have been provided scheduling tools for each holiday and the weeks surrounding these holidays. I responded inquiring as to what these tools were. I was told The tools that are provided to the CCM's for the holiday are forecasting tools that provide volumes for the prior year during the days prior to and after the holiday (no mention of the actual holiday though...hmmm). If volumes are high they need additional hours, if volumes are low they must adjust the schedules for that time period. Then I am asked to please work with my CCM for the upcoming holiday schedule this month. I was told at the beginning of this year, that if you did not work Christmas last year, you had to work it this year. Nothing was mentioned about these tools and volumes. It was all about coverage. As we all know, and have been going through this for years every single holiday. I dont know about you, but this is all BS to me, very aggravating, frustrating, and insulting. I do not like being at the beck and call of a company, when I am ALWAYS there to do my job when scheduled, but they cant be there FOR ME when I am there to produce. I have put up with this too many years. Surely there is something we can all do as a united group? Any ideas?

Long CPs [2008-11-29]
Don't you wish they would compensate us for having to read all these long CPs because as you know we don't get paid unless our fingers are moving.

I went back through my old emails [2008-11-29]
and the one I was thinking of was from my old supervisor, stating we cannot be clocked off and logged into DQS, but when I re-read it, it was in regards to working on DQS and not being logged into e-time where it looks like you are making more lines per hour than you truly are, did not find one stating anything about no work availability. BUT, but my old sup also mentioned in that email that it is best to just clock out of DQS and clock back on every so often to re-check instead of staying on, so it seems was her suggestion that I was remembering. :)

I looked up the No Work policy and the way [2008-11-28]
I read it is that if they don't release us from work, then they are required to pay us minimum wage according to our home state wage scale. The IR is supposed to call after you open a ticket, but I haven't heard anything from anybody yesterday or today. I was short a little over an hour yesterday and am running about an hour short, so far, for today.

policies to me are clear as mud [2008-11-28]
Then add in what the abcdefg tells you, my goodness. I just take w/o pay as I have a vacation I would like to take with MY PTO. I wish we could at least get mininum wage, but from what I read have to jump through many hoops, calls, emails, left arm, first born, (which they can have mine heee) and my husbands right nut to get it. No time. Have a good weekend, watch the spending, we all know where we are.

the idea of... [2008-11-26]
...changing the way i work, speeding up, or whatever, never even crossed my mind. i never even knew there was a so-called challenge until i came here to these boards. i sort of skim read that stupid e-mail. i've always done the best i can and will continue to do so, so not EVERYONE is speeding up. my reports would definitely be poorer quality if i did so and my mental state would be worse for the wear and it is just not worth it to me to give Medquist more than i already do when they keep taking away from me. i might try towork harder for people who value me, encourage me, and pay me appropriately. medquist does not fit into any of these categories.

Why not leave [2008-11-26]
About a week ago I clicked on this board by accident and decided to read the posts. I have never worked for MQ, never will...heard bad things a long time ago when they had a local office. Most of youseem SO unhappy, why don't you quit instead of jumping on people who decide to make the best of their situation? You don't have to agree with their opinion but you don't have to berate them for it. Very sad...

India [2008-11-26]
Just read the article and they are targeting foreigners....and we are sending them our work to make money. Hey Q, look at the news. Maybe things aren't what you thought they were. Get those medical records out of there.

I'm having visions of being naughty [2008-11-26]
I want to so bad! The ASR I've gotten in the last few days is soawful, I'm having to retype the majority of reports. I've abandoned all hope at this point of even putting in skip markers.......just too much work to edit...for a system that obviously is never going to learn anything. So, I get a report on a patient who is aprominent physician for one the accounts I work on. Thereport is being dictated by an ESL...plus it is on ASR. Just how do you think thisphysician (the patient) would feel to read his medical records sent through exactly like I got it??? Somebody slap me and tellto behave.

I agree [2008-11-25]
You cannot have quality and quantity. We are surely not rewarded for doing a good job as we can see by the decrease in pay and according to several posts I have read lately, not many have received a raise for many years. The only way we can boost our pay is to work OT and they don't even offer that much anymore.

I can type sm [2008-11-25]
20,000 a minute, did not you read that yesterday. This is a bunch of bull and making other normal people feel inadequate and I wish it would stop. I had a great dictator 3 times with standards that I blow in about 40 lines in on last week and was tickled pink and still only made about 300 an hour. I go for accuracy and will not sacrafice as MY name is on the bottom line. I concur with you!!!!! Especially 600 lines. This was not ASR either, but best I can do.

I agree. I was experimenting over the weekend...sm [2008-11-24]
I speeded up the dictation and typed or edited as fast as I could. I then slowed the dictation down and read through the reports again and saw that I did miss quite a few words, and they were fairly short reports! My main complaint about 60% for ASR is that not everyone has been trained for ASR. I think, if we have to take these cuts, everyone should be in the same boat.

I disagree - haven't read "wonderful" results [2008-11-24]
I was one of the posters. I did not believe the 644, but, I am a fair-minded individual and before I cried foul, I wanted to give it a shot. So I did .. open mind, really tried. Nobody that I read felt they would/could work at that pace all the time, nor did anybody come CLOSE to 644 lph. Our point was to prove 644 lph is NOT realistic, which I think has been the case. I don't see anything wrong with posting our individual findings.

You all need NEW jobs. Give yourself a Christmas [2008-11-23]
MQ won't be giving you anything but more grief, so treat yourself to the gift you really need, want and deserve - a NEW JOB. Truly you can all see that the future at MQ is nothing but deceit and worry and angst and anguish and heartbreak, literally. We are all professionals and though we work at home, alone, we care about our jobs and our company and the patients. MQ will never change. They have always been the scum of theearth once they started gobbling up any and every MTSO and they are not ever going to get better, but they have a bit more room for getting worse, which they are steadily working towards - an all Indian workforce with skeletal USA crew. There are plenty of great MTSOs, and many great ones who are USA only. I made the switch after about 20 years with MQ and my entire life has changed, no more of this mental torture and anguish. It was a terribly hard, scary thing to do, but I did it and its made all the difference in my life. I came here to check on the MT lawsuit, and it just makes me so sad to see you all in the same boat. Why do you hang on? There is nothing to hang onto anymore, and I so wish you could see that. Even those who have a new full time job and part time with MQ. You are still keeping them afloat. Get another PT time job with a deserving company. MQ is scum, absolute scum, and we all know that. The supervisors and managers and right on up the food chain - they are all willing to do anything for money. Literally. Anyone with self respect and integrity is gone, and there are sharks a plenty waiting to fill any and all vacancies. You know you are being lied to 24/7, you know you are getting the pits of the earth to transcribe. PLEASE treat yourselves better than MQ ever will and give yourself a new job. Your heart will thank you, your soul will thank you, your loved ones will thank you. There is zero security with MQ, so truly you all have nothing to lose. There is zero security. No 401K or PTO time or line rate is worth it. There are, indeed, companies out there willing to pay great line rates. Its just a MQ lie that there are no jobs, that the industry doesn't pay, etc. Lies designed to make us grateful dogs to just have a job. It is NOT like that. I believed their lies forever, tool, but finally broke free. As others have said before me, my only regret was that I didn't leave sooner. Before you ask, the companies that are great are Keystrokes, Axolotl, MDI-MD, NEMT. Sure, there are horror stories on the company board, but I truly think these 4 are safe as long as you do your job and do it well. I also believe all 4 are hiring right now. All 4 are USA only jobs. I also know at least 3 of the 4 offered me over 10 cpl to start. You have to believe and have faith that the Indian MTs are messing up, and many accounts are shifting regularly away from MQ and the other sweatshops and going BACK to the good, reputable MTSOs. I have witnessed it myself the last 6 months. Have faith. We can all do it and prove to the world, literally, that there's no better product for medical records than made in the USA. Cheers to you all. You will not believe the positive, wonderful real world of professional MTing. It does exist, but NEVER will at MQ.

Did you ever think maybe this challenge was put out there. sm [2008-11-23]
to get you all to produce more because so many MT's are quitting? Think about it. What a complete scan. I don't think I could even read that many lines in an hour

but i don't agree with getting a job with another transcription company [2008-11-23]
I am trying to get out of this altogether. I don't believe that the other ones are any better than the Q. I've read on the company board about some of them not paying even. There is just something wrong here. It's too bad - because a lot of intelligent, competent, hardworking transcriptionists are getting screwed because of it, and the people at the top are probably still getting their oversized piece of the pie and they are the ones messing up who really deserve the pay cuts. They are obviously not doing what they are supposed to be doing - which is making money for the Q. The transcriptionists, however, are doing what they are supposed to be doing - transcribing and editing. So why do the transcriptionists have to take the cut?

My challenge results. sm [2008-11-23]
This morning I worked my normal 4-hour shift. I had approximately 10% straight transcription, the rest ASR. The first 3 hours of my shift was my primary (which has been a rare thing lately), the rest was one of my new accounts which I amnot very familar with yet. I sped everything up much as I could, only took a 5-minute break out of 4 hours, and I had about 100 lines for the straight transcription and not quite 900 lines for ASR. I only had 3 blanks out of all of it and only had to look up things a few times, spending maybe a total time of 15 mins. I have a 100% accuracy rate, and proof read very carefully. Several of the reports I had to correct better than 40% of each, eating up more time than I would have spent had I typed it straight. Still only ended up wtih 250 cpl. Now, how are we supposed to get a ridiculous 600 cpl?? I find it highly insulting for someone (who I am sure has NEVER done this jobn - oh yeah, 644-Man) to presume we can possibly produce 600 cpl.. Do they not know the blow they have delivered to our morale, first by cutting our pay, and then by having the nerve to suggest we should be able to produce those kind of lines?Is this their way of justifying giving us a pay cut, because we are so inferior that we can't produce 600 cpl? Obviously these so-called managers failed to learn in school that HAPPY employees are the most productive employees!! HELLO --- COMMON SENSE!! I wonder if any of them ever bother to read this board!?

Name calling re: ASR [2008-11-23]
Thank you Moderator. Yes, things seem bad, but calling the name of a person, and/or speaking harshly of him/her, will do no good. I do not know where they got their figures from, but all you can do is read his letter again, be the professional you were hired to be, swallow your pride, do the best you can, which is all anyone can do. This Mr.**** is a very, very smart man and he has former MTSOs working under him, he is not stupid by any means; and no, I do not work for management and was not asked to write this; however, he is extremely considerate and tries to, with his team of former MTs, QA, MTSOs, make the right decisions - there will be a silver cloud, but without each and every one of us pulling together, then you will lose jobs elsewhere. Stop being frustrated, work harder and make your way to that goal. It will not be done in one day, not even in 2, perhaps a week or more, but we can all get there if we want to without name-calling. So sad.

How amusing to find my post, of all the [2008-11-23]
hundreds of MQ slamming posts, brings out the MQ cheerleaders. Now that is honestly funny. I obviously directed my post to the countless MTs who are having complete meltdowns on here, and justifiable meltdowns. Of course my post of intended encouragement would not be directed to the MQ MTs who are happy in this atmosphere. As for me dissing my ex-employer, the only teenage bloviating I can read is from you. How immature and prejudice to claim that I never contributed to the company. I have MQ 20 years of my life. So, obviously my words of encouragement to look for other jobs, that yes they are out there, are meant for those wanting to leave MQ, but afraid to leave MQ. I said nothing hateful, and it seems a shame that whose who defend MQ have to turn to that path to defend their company. Just for the future, if any ex-MQ employeees post here, this administrator and moderator have always made it clear that ex and current MQ employees are always welcome. Those hateful rules were the OLD regime, not the new. Merry Christmas to all!

It is very scary what VR does and does not do. sm [2008-11-23]
The hospital that I work for has VR, what they call back-end because the MT does any needed editing. However, VR cannot be trusted. Not only does it slow you down because of massive amounts of editing that needs to be done, but also because it picks up things it should not. And that includes conversations in the background. I type ED, PCP, and Occ. Med. In one ED report the doc very clearly said 2 mg IV DILAUDID for pain. VR picked up 2 mg IV LEVAQUIN for pain. The doc speaks clearly enough that even an ESL doc would hear the difference. It also does not get dosages right more than 75% of the time. The software and program that we use IS NOT compatible with Word, it does not learn like we were told it would, and you can correct the same phrase until the cows come home and it never learns the right words or phrases needed. Now there is talk of putting in what they call front-end VR where the doc does his own editing. Can you even begin to imagine what the reports would look like? When we send our finished reports back to the doctors to be signed, half of them don't bother to read any of the reports. We are allowed to send out reports with no more than 3 blanks in it. More than that it has to go to QA. There are a few conscientious docs, but they are far and few between. The system and software we had before VR went in wasn't broken and did not need to be fixed. Things were going along just fine. As far as I am concerned, VR needs a WHOLE lot more tweaking before it goes out and there is talk of replacing all of our jobs.

Took the challenge this morning; ave. 510 LPH. [2008-11-23]
Before you say I'm lying or faint from disbelief, let me tell you a few things. First, I worked just 4 hours today, so I didn't have as much time to burn out. I truly believe 8 hours at the pace I was going today would kill me. Secondly, I had only my primary today and the same 4 or 5 doctors the whole time. I felt the urge to see if MQ had put a hidden camera on me. I don't recall the last time I've had this combination of doctors AND my primary for four hours straight on the weekend. My theory is that enough people on my primary quit last week that there was more work for me. So........I set my speed the absolute highest and went to town. I let my children fight it out because I didn't want to interrupt my break-neck speed. I slowed down only to hear a word or two but otherwise kept the pace moving along. How did I feel? Very stressed, very anxious, and quite unsure. Although I doubt I messed up on diagnoses or medication amounts, I'm sure commas and other small words were left out. Today I didn't care, I was going for the GOLD. So after 4 hours, I'd produced just over 2000 lines. I didn't keep tabs as I went because it would just slow me down. I only got up once to use the facilities but otherwise stayed put. I DID NOT SLOW DOWN minus the few times I just re-listed in a crucial segment. The majority of the ADT screens on my primary are already filled in, so I only had to listen (not typical on other accounts I work on). What did I get from all this? Plainly stated, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for me to get 600+ lines an hour. PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. It was like hitting all the green lights just right today, and how often does that happen? Really? The speed could not have gone any faster, and except for my potty break, I couldn't have spent any more time than I did. I didn't proof-read, I didn't look anything up (just stuck markers in--sorry, QA), and didn't need to fill in any ADT screens. Usually I average 230 lines or so an hour. I've been an MT for a long time, and this is the fastest I can achieve with ASR. So the challenge wasn't very accurate in my opinion, but even if they wanted to count it, it still wasn't 600+ lines...not even close. I am completely convinced that someone that gets THAT many lines an hour isn't listening to the entire report; I don't know how they could be. Anyway, there ya go.

Message to MQs top producers...sm [2008-11-22]
If any of the top producers read this board and get anywhere near 600 lph, please respond. I'd just really like to know if there is any truth in that!

No, oh heavens, I did not type this myself. I found a website stedmans@work which contains a lot of sample reports! Did it help you?
