Is VR just not for everybody??

I was SO looking forward to giving my body a bit of a break so I took a VR editing job...I was hoping my speed would be up before long, doing at least double the lines (or more!) than straight transcription, as they pay you half of the regular rate, and many can do triple the amount, so like many, I was seeing dollar signs... 

I know some MTs do wonderfully, but my speed is only about my straight transcription speed.  I employ all of the keyboard shortcuts too.  I am thinking of going back to straight MT work because it's just not worth it for me.  OR, am I missing something???  My dollar signs are fading...

Thanks for any input, good, bad or whatever!!

            • You are definitely wrong. Doctors' - offices send out work too to services.
              • honey, it works like this: The MTSO(service) charges the doctor X amount per line or report, and - anon
                • If you are receiving 8 cpl, how much do you think - the service should charge the client?
                  • 8 cpl was an example, not my line rate; however, my guess - anon
    • Did you notice that those - Kyrie
