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

1800 lines a day is not much when making
That is exactly why I left Transcend. They try to make it look like people can make double what they did straight typing, but it's a crock. Lots of new people were hired at 10 cpl, but you don't earn 10 cpl for editing on BeyondTxt. Calculate what your earnings would be with the rate reduction at 2000 lines per day, which when I left was 55% of normal line rate with no incentive, and calculate what your earnings would be at 1700+ lines a day at 0.085 cpl, but don't forget the incentive rate, which at 1701 lines would have been 0.0075 cpl. Which way is actually making more money?
I've heard that the current rate for editing is 60%, maybe it's gone up. I don't know, but even at 70% a person making 1700 lpd straight typing would have to produce 2210 lpd editing just to break even, and it still wouldn't even be breaking even because the person is still losing the incentive bonus. Transcend's pay restructure benefits Transcend because they no longer have to pay as many people the higher wages they did with straight typing. It still amazes me that so many can't see that. Even if the BT program was the best thing since sliced bread, which it is NOT because there are so many problems with it, there is no way to make more money with editing unless the person is a low to mediocre producer. If you normally produce anything more than 1200+ lpd, Transcend really isn't the company to make money with because there are so many other companies out there that pay much higher. It all depends on what you're looking for.
What are they asking for, 1500/1800 lines a day, or more? nm

1800 lines so far and have 3 more hours to go in my shift.
.
I know you need to type 1800 lines a day in order to get 11 cpl.

I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
From a 5/06 post, 8 cpl up to 1800 lines a day!!! Then you'll get 8.5. Not for this turtle
s
Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm

Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
x
I would think it is a certain amount of hours or lines a DAY. But not employee, so can't say
:+
Yep, they get great lines and great QA
yeah I see your point - because all the crap dictations go to everyone else :( Kind of makes steam come out of your ears doesn't it LOL
I am a current Transcend employee and think they are great.
Any new job takes time to learn. Give it a little while longer and see how it goes, check in with your Team Leader, they can really help you.
Good Luck.
Great company and they pay employee insurance. nm
x
Oh great - Another psychic employee!! HAHAHA
How about just saying yes, it is 70% of your line rate instead of making up rumors.
Huge employee turnovers and struggling to get your lines seems to be a common theme.. No thanks.
I think I'll pass on that. I have worked for a hospital before and I never had to pay for any physical, background checks etc..
10.75 and 11 cpl is Great. I have 25+ years and only making 9cpl as employee and 10 cpl as IC- Do
Do you mind e-mailing me you employer if they are hiring?
you "think they're great." Would you dismiss an employee with that 1st sent?
,
Think twice about Transcend. Overhire and not so great lines count
As far as the hospital job goes, that would be a better,stable choice. I know in our area the clerks obviously make less than the MTs, but it is way above minimum wage, not to mention you get shift/weekend/holiday differential. Find a company is this business that does that. NONE, at least that I have found. Best wishes on your job search.
4000 lines a month of dollars? Either of which is not that great! So, what are you bragging about?
x
I find the lines don't accumulate as quickly, but the atmosphere is GREAT. nm
Great incentive plan, but based on speed/lph not total lines produced. Works if you are fast.
x
You too? I was always a 1800-2000 SM
line producer daily until I worked for them. 1200 and it was taking me 9-10 hours to get those 1200 lines. Something is wrong with their line counting.
I usually get 1800 to 2000
.
Gee, if you didn't do 1800, someone else could
.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
My weekly paycheck was $1800 before taxes - IC work. sm
It can be done with own accounts working no more than 8 hours a day!
I have been a MT for four years and I make $1800.00 per month. I am happy with my pay at this
stage
May I ask what account you are on and what work type you are doing to get 1800 in five hours?
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>
Monthly, I bring in $3500-4000, about $1800 every 2 weeks.
I work about 5-6 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Sometimes I work a little extra if I didn't get the line count I wanted that day due to dictators, etc. Consistently, I bring in this much as an IC. It hasn't always been this way, you need to get to know your accounts and then it will come. I have the same accounts and dictators every day working for a national.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

Statuatory employee versus regular employee....
Can someone tell me the difference between a statuatory employee versus a regular employee? My company offeres IC or SE status....I am confused about whether switching over the SE would benefit me more than IC status that I have been for some time with them? What are the benefits and disadvantages of being an SE versus IC? Thanks for all of your help!
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.
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
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a
s
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR

They hire both IC and employee. I am an employee (see message)
and I have full benefits. I am very happy that I came to work here. I came as a statutory employee from a large company. Everyone at MDI has been great to me.
Depends on if you are employee or statutory employee (sm)
Employee, 8th and 23rd of month
Stat. Employee, 15th and 30th month
Diskriter - Anyone go from their employee to hospital employee with them?
Thinking about giving up on being their employee and applying for a hospital employee position through them, they have one in PA right now that looks good. How is it for scheduling? Do you keep your line rate or get whatever the hospital pays? Who manages those accounts, is it the same PM and DR that are on the other ones? I have DR and feel like she doesn't have a clue what she is doing and it is so annoying, but I just don't have the guts to let the company know she needs to step it up a notch because the transcriptionists are not happy under her. Are QA the same people or through the hospital. They have 1 QA that is constantly asking us questions on doctors and format, things we should be asking that QA person. Annoying that new people move up to QA but people who've been there 2 or 3 years get treated like dirt and jumped account to account.
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
System great, pay good, everything great, but most managers from old Edix, problems, poor people ski
when you are out of work, you are out of luck. If you are good at brown-nosing, are tough enough to be without any self-esteem, and have maybe money coming into the household on the side in case you tick someone off, then you may succeed, for a little while.
Don't ever ask questions or have problems with anything. Don't ever have a problem. Don't think you will have any control over anything you do, either.
A few 'good' managers remained when I left, but the new ones were all from the old Edix, and were completely into numbers, cared nothing for individual MTs...if there is work, you BETTER be working. If there no work, you will hear nothing, no one will help you.
You are pathetic! I have a great life, loving family, work for a great company.
You might want to fix that.
You really don't have to shout (angry person), but yes you are wrong!!
That is my last word to you!
I will add that getting a great pay check every other Friday from Medware really puts a huge smile on my face.
Oracle is great. Bayscribe is wonderful great line counts.
The trainer at OTI will always answer any questions about the platform and if you have any problems they have already worked them out, so just ask. Good luck!
YOG - Lots of work, great office staff, great money. NM

Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
Loved Alltype! Great management and great accounts.
wah - i miss it there!
It's a great company -- lots of work and great pay. sm
