VR

I use Escription.  On certain reports the words do fly by and it's better than the other VR programs I've used.  But there are plenty of reports where I am busy making lots of corrections.

I am trying to keep track of how much an hour  I am making with this.  Last week I figured it to be anywhere from 8 to 18 dollars an hour (usually about 11 or 12). 

I can approach 600 lines an hour IF I get a string of reports that need few corrections, where I don't need to relisten to parts to catch what they are saying, and I don't need to look up any doctors; names, place names, med terms etc. But since that never happens for an entire shift, often I can to 350-400 lines an hour - which is not enough to make VR pay equal straight typing pay. 

Overall, working more to earn less....
