2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
2000 lines/day
How long does it take you?  That's amazing!!  By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day

for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm

How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
3 cents per line up to 2000 lines per day
and then an incentive but still diddly for QA pay
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.

Yup, it is doable.
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
x
Forgot to include 2000 lines a day sm

On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures.  It looks like there is no message (there is though)


Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it.  This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians.  Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this. 


2000 lines a day at $0.18 cpl. Believe it.....Not original poster, another one making $$$$. nm
x
I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
Big difference between 2000 and 3000 lines per shift.
nm
MQ. PTflex...2000 lines/week and 401K.
NM
The only post I see that is idiotic is yours. You just admitted you did 2000 lines sm

straight typing, 3000 lines at VR for HALF pay.  So you lose.  If you were to break even then, you'd have to do at least 4000 lines on VR.  I don't honestly remember what you said you made, but most companies pay half for VR.


Before attacking, perhaps you should learn the fine art of reading and comprehension.


Ultimately, though, you're happy, so more power to you.  I'm happy too, so I guess it is a good Friday for both of us.  I will not respond to any more of your posts, but I do resent name calling and labeling by someone who obviously has a lot to learn himself/herself.


Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
x
I havent heard a word about an incentive and I have worked there almost 2 years so I guess I didnt
qualify for whatever status you needed to get an incentive. Is this something you get every pay period if you meet a quota or just something quarterly. Just curious.
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR
x
Havent been at Scan Medical too long but finding the work drying up. Anyone else there
notice this. 
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
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.
x
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
I started at 0.08 but am at 0.085. The lines are easy to get. For some reason, I type sm
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. 
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. 
2 small MTSOs, IC, work 8-10 q.d. ~6 days a week, ave 2000-2300 biweekly, 10 yrs exp. 0.06gross and

You mean, he's still at this type of thing? About 5 years ago....
I had to go to the Labor Board in my state to get my money from him. He always has more excuses than anyone I've ever known, and he's slippery about communication, too. If this is a new problem, you'd best get on it. Hopefully he'll pay up, but I wouldn't give him ANY more chances!
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
I worked for All Type a few years ago on a temporary
basis helping them to clean up backlog. Gerry Kelly is a great person to work for, the work was excellent, and pay was correct and on time. Would recommend them.
Don't be watching and waiting. Been there for years and never any type of acknowledgement...nm

I've been with AccuSTAT WI for 7 years. We don't use VR. We used MS Word to type in and depe
on the accounts, Dictaphone C-phone, regular c-phone or Lanier VXP player.
Will be about 5-6 years for us, thinking along same lines (sm)
Have noted most of the RVs now have computer desks built in too. I am hoping that they way technology is advancing it will be easier yet to do this in the next 5 or so years.

Good luck, enjoy.
22,000 lines per pay period, 4 years. nm

In 1-1/2 years, I've never missed my lines
Last Christmas was slow on my primary account, but I had backup accounts to cover. This Christmas, all 4 of my accounts were bombarded with work and it has not let up. All 4 of these accounts need a new hire to help keep TAT. That one time last year was the only time it got close to running out, but if one account gets low, we have the option to wait until later in the day for the dictation to come in and get lines in then.
Puleeze! I heard that monthly for 2 years. I will believe it when I can count lines on it. nm
:+
I havent either
asd
I havent been with them long SM
But I can honestly say that they are the best company I have ever worked for.... Tons of work, excellent communication, very laid back, and a great bunch of people to work for.
I havent received anything. nm

Im trying...havent heard yet...
