1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
I average btw 400-600 lph on escription. nm

It's about average on eScription accounts.
I get 4/8.4 as an employee.
what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule. 
We enter our lines daily on the intranet SM
You don't enter the minutes that you type, just the lines for the day.
I'm about 300 lines short daily. I've had some
dictators that were absolutely horrendous and the my reports come back from QA with blanks too, but then I have some really good dictators.   The changes are driving me crazy.   I wish they could explain things one time in a way that the MTs could understand.  I'm sure there are more changes to come, though they have had at least part of the account for a long time so I don't understand all the changes now. 
SGS require 2400 daily lines?
Does anyone know if it is true that Superior Global Solutions out of Texas requires 2400 daily lines to qualify for full time and receive benefits?  If so, is there enough work to actually make that many daily lines?  Are they a good company to work for?  Thanks in advance, all responses appreciated.

What is the average line rate for eScription VR editing? I have
heard so many different things that I don't know what's what?  Also, for those of you on eScription, what is the averages lph that you are able to do.  TIA.
Escription is user friendly and 4 cpl is about average for that platform. You could easily do 400
lines an hour. Some people do even 500-600. Good luck with your decision. From what I know, it really is the best VR platform out there and I make more on that than  ever could straight typing.
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
x
Average lines
Did they happen to mention the average lines the other MTs were getting?
I average 300 lines an hour
but some days I do have to work over 8 hours to make it work because of things going on around the house, this will definitely disrupt things
AVERAGE LINES PER HOUR

Can anyone tell me what their average lines per hour are on speech recognition, such as escription or extext?


Medware - how many lines average?

Can anyone who works for Medware tell me what your average line counts are?  Can you get good line counts with them?


 


Thanks!!


What did your hourly lines average? sm
When you say you couldn't get your count up...how low was it, approximately? Must not have been worthwhile, huh?
How many lines per hour do you average?

Average of 1200 lines per day.
x
185 lines? The company I'm working for wants 250......what is the average???? Anyone???
Thanks!
150-170 lines per hour is pretty average.
Imagine that times 40%.  150 x 40% increase using an Expander is another 60 lines paid per hour.  At $.07 per line, it's the difference between $10.50 an hour at 150 lines or $14.70 an hour at 210 lines.  Work smarter, not harder.
Been here 4 months and average 250 lines per hour, sometimes 300.nm

I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.

I usually average anywhere between 2500-3000 lines per shift
at KS.
oh dear I average 350 lines an hour straight
typing! If that's the average for VR, then that's terrible!! I cannot express how insane that sounds to me!!!
Me too..I definitely double my lines and sometimes more. From what I am hearing, I think Escription
is one of the only VR systems you can do that, which makes me afraid to try the others by Dictaphone, etc..I make far more money on Escription even at half the rate than I could doing straight typing.
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
Just be aware that not all Escription accounts pay the same. I worked for one company on Escription
struggling to maybe make $50 in 8-10 hours. I didnt know the difference as that was my first job on that platform and I just thought it was not a money maker. Then, I switched companies. I average $20-30 an hour and once I made $50 in an hour. I tried yet another company and I was lucky to make $9 an hour. The bottom line is that not all companies are alike, even though they use the Escription platform. What I have found is that goes according to how they set it up i.e. paying for footers, headers, spaces etc. Just dont be shocked if you dont make what you think you will. The companies know how to set it to where it benefits them and not you. As is the norm, not all companies are created equal out there regardless if they all use the same platform. That is what I am getting out.. Good luck.
Is do you do a daily log. I currently do, but

I know different accounts do things differently.  The work is submitted to the client differently. 


I don't know enough about the accounts to offer any help, but if she is already working then her lead should have provided this information. 


Oh my GOD.... no wonder they have ads up daily. THANK YOU! NM

Emailing daily log........ sm

Do yourself a huge favor.  If you don't have a scanner, buy one!  I keep a handwritten log and at the end of the day I just scan it into an email.  You certainly don't need another screen to contend with. 


...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

Daily Work and TAT sm
I just started a new IC position last Monday.  I had one day with some work last week (due to holiday) and yesterday there was nothing and today a 2 minute job.  The company says they do not know when or who will dump the jobs.  The TAT is 24 hours and work could be dumped any time of day.  I report for work at about 7 a.m.  Do you just sit around all day waiting for work?  Should there be a cut-off time when it's too late to start?  We do have lives too.  What would you do?  No other job expects you to wait around without being paid.  I must be thick or something.  Thanks for the input.
Daily Work and TAT............
It is probably just the holidays. Just hang in there. I have a very flexible schedule, so I know what you mean about waiting all day. I am home all day (homebody) and like the fact that I can check in, work when needed and get my house clean, take care of my kids and cook, etc in between time. I work for a GREAT MTSO and have never had an out of work situation until the holidays. It will pick up. :)
I have never seen this in the news, which I keep up on daily.

The Daily Transcription

Does anyone know anything about this company? I am going to be testing with them, but I just wanted some opinions first.


Thanks!


I saw the daily report
yesterday that said nothing was nefarious and that this is supposedly normal. I can tell you, I do not remember it being slow at this time of year either. Part of me wonders if like someone else had posted that some of the accounts are not starting to give their work to other vendors. Another part of me wonders if they are doing this to get people to quit so they can hire on people at lower rates. I mean it would stay in line with their value of money.
It is done on the computer daily
though intranet.  They should give you instructions on how to do it after they have set you up in the system. 
so why are they hiring on mt daily?? nm
nm
They want you to meet your daily
lines counts. I don't think that is asking for too much.
They used to have a job board ad almost daily
...now you never see anything from them. Wonder if they are losing accounts.
Daily changes make me . . .
want to commit myself to a psych hospital. Driving me crazy. Acid tongue supervisor makes everything worse.
whats the $$$ on that daily incentive?

How high does the daily incentive go? Please.
Thanks.

I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital

oh my god that work rocked!  It was 95% normals and work was plentiful.  Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report.  Ka-ching! 


Ahhhh...the salad days.  I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.


Now I'm all bummed again.  Where did I put that cheesecake....


 


Running out of work daily
We have started running out daily, a lot of the time when I sign on in the morning there is no work on my primary, maybe not even secondary. Our supervisor has asked many to switch shifts, to work the night shift and I know 10 or so have done so. It seems we were getting out of TAT in the evenings, so NOW it is over compensated and there is not much during the day, before noon, anyway. Used to work 8-10 hours OT every week, now that is down to 5-6 or less hours OT. I don't know what to do. I need my hours and some OT, too. Can't work nights.
What is their daily line count?
xx
can anyone tell me about sending daily report and how
you keep track of that? You can e-mail me if you'd rather. Just started and curious if you have to write down all your jobs at the end of shift of is there an easier way of sending this info?
