Sounds like a gross line though, not 65-char.
Don't know if I misinterpreted the ad, but it might not be too bad if it is a gross line depending on dictator style. If there are a lot of short lines like on my current account, it could work out really well. I would actually make more at 6 cents per gross line than I make at 8 cents per 65-character line. Comparing the last report I just did, I made $5.08 for the report at 8 cpl, but if I had been paid 6 cents per gross line, I would have made $8.58. Can't really judge line rate unless you have all the info.

The norm in the 80s was 4 cents per Gross Line, not 65 char with spaces. nm

7-8 gross is great. That is equivalent to 10-12 65 character lines, as a gross
line is about 35% lower than a 65 character line. Will you share who is paying this>
A gross line is not based on characters. A gross line is
anything on the line constitutes a line, so if you only have 1 word on a line it is still counted as a line.   A gross line at 8 cpl roughly translates to 10 cpl/65 character. 
by char

Stop. Redlight. Too complicated to explain here, but problems with that method are major reason things are now calculated by line in 99.97% cases. There has to be a reason a co. would go this route. Tread lightly. Think wisely. If it seem to be too good to be true it is.


 


Low pay, offered 0.065/65-char and this was for IC. No thank you! nm

They are IC only, starts at about 0.06/65-char; too low for me! nm

Well, I got started at .08 for 55-char
line. My checks are really good and that's all I care about! Like I said, my checks are more every 2 weeks that they were from any other company I worked for.
I make .05 - 65 char line now, what should I be getting?
I have been working for almost 2 years.
They are paying 0.05 per 65/char line for VR nm

Spaces are about 27% of a 65 char line

Will it be a 65-char. line or longer? nm

55 char line with spaces
Ok guys how does a 55 char line WITH spaces = to a 65 char line.  I was offered 8 for 55 char line with spaces and counts underlines, bolds, hard returns etc.
55 char line with spaces
Is 8cpl for a 55 char line with spaces and double counts for bold, underline, etc a good rate.  Sorry, but i am used to getting paid for a 65 character line.  What does this equal out to?  Does anyone know how to figure it out.  TIA!!
ya, it was a wierd char/line...sm
you are sane in my book, if that counts LOL
8.5 cents per 70 char/line with spaces
Does anyone get paid like this?  Is this good?
The rate was 9.75 cents, 65 char. without spaces. No thanx! nm
x
Is a 55-char line without spaces good?

Does anyone know how a 55-character line WITHOUT spaces would compare to a 65-character line WITH spaces?  Which one is better?


Paid for 55 char black line...
Can anyone tell me if they get paid this way instead of the 65 w/ spaces? If anyone else does, can you tell me roughly the difference it makes versus getting paid for spaces?

Thanks
The average 65-char line has more than 10 spaces.
Your math is flawed.
Mark off a 65-char line. Then take random
sentences from your reports. Then count the spaces. Or you could put it in Word and use the tools to average it out. The average of spaces per 65-char line is more than 10. Try it yourself rather than just believing what you've been told.

Is 8 cpl/65 char including spaces good pay for Radiology?
TIA
I read in archives that pay is 65 char wo spaces, is that true?
dd
Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.
nm
PS - pay based on 65-char line, SPACES INCLUDED. SM
Also paid for weekend work, 2nd and 3rd shift differential. Bonus plan based on production.
I thought someone posted on here about 75 char line, and can't check lines...nm
x
Yes, that's including headings. I use Open Office which gives me a char count.
What it doesn't include is anything in the ADT screen, just what we type in the report.
Northeast Transcription says that FT is 32 hrs/1000 lpd, but 70-char.lines with all spaces and

Is 8 cpl on 65 char with spaces,header, footer good rate for IC work?
Want to accept position. Wondering if that's a good rate today. THank you
If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.

They use MedRite software, only offered 7-8 cpl on a 70-char. line w/spaces. Supposed to offer

Well, I actually was curious and drove to my local Wegman's to get a copy of RBJ.  Huge article, fairly presented facts, very informative.    No wonder she made "impassioned plea" to editor to not run the story.   Millions in fraud, self-dealing, and unjust enrichment, padded billings, defrauding creditors, fruadulent conveyance, along with other charges/convictions.   Changing your business name several times in 10 or so years.   Now in a $400,000+ home -- guess it beats the view from a jail cell!


Yah, thanks for putting the rest of us honest MTSOs in a negative light.  Smooth move....

I researched this company, too.  But, after reading the Business Journal article -- which is all fact, not just somebody's opinion --- I decided it was in my best interest as an MT with hopefully a long career ahead of me, not to associate myself with a many-time convicted criminal.  People have long memories on this stuff.  But, that's just my opinion.

Rochester Business Journal dated 7/22/05. Interesting article about fraud convictions. Worth getting a copy of if you are considering employment there.

I live in the same town as Execuscribe and did not hear anything about legal problems. Can anyone point me in the direction of finding out?
Execuscribe
Thanks I will go check the library for a back issue of this magazine so I can read it myself. As an ex-MTSO whose business she took away, I'd like to read this. I've heard that her largest client is going to a fill in the blank type form and laptops for the doctors (from one of the doctors who work for the client) so we will see how long the company will stay a Fortune 500 company now.

She paid Kodak an UNDISCLOSED AMOUT OF MONEY. Now, as the article said at the end, they are HOME FREE, yes a half millon dollar home free!

Tom Y. worked at Kodak in finances and was accused of making false payments to Execuscribe, owned by his wife. He was also sending business to people who were paying him a CUTBACK to do so, rather than the cheapest/best people for Kodak.

She was accused of being part of the MASTER PLAN.

She tried desperately in the end to put the company assests into her sons' names, but the court overruled on it.

So she eventually settled out of court and paid Kodak what they wanted. That was a private court case. The CRIMINAL CASE against Tom only was thrown out due to him having the best criminal lawyer in town who kept stalling and then the court said too much time had passed by. Otherwise, he may have done jail time, or at least community service and be on parole.

Does anyone have any information good or bad regarding this company? I noticed in some older posts from 2004 that they require you to carry worker's comp insurance - do they still do this?
Execuscribe
Yikes! That's pretty low. Thanks so much for the info!
