Try getting your facts straight before you decide to shoot down a company. Keep on wandering and you may find some unlucky company who would love to have your attitude.

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.
Only FT and must get 1100 lines for the PP. .sm
Only the above. If you fall below the 1100 minimum for the pay period, you lose out on both PTO and internet reimbursement. I'm nott there any more, but was there 2+ years, first on FT who couldn't quite get up to the 1100 lines (guess why? combination of little/no work at the time as well as lousy 99% ESL account.So then I literally got pushed into PT status, where I had to pay everything and watch everyone else get PTO and their ISP reimbursed but still made lines close to FT but took twice as long. Nice deal, huh??
1100 lines in 40 hours, must be the -- sm
dictator(s) of our dreams! And this is just for actual transcription, but what part of the 40 hours does the other work fall into, the demographics, emails, look-ups, re-dos, re-listen, twiddling thumbs while doc is asleep or browsing the charts, etc.
In 2005, they were offering 8 cpl up to 1400 lines a day. Over that,
s
I feel lucky if I get 1100 lines a day. I was doing sm
at least 1500 a day on DocQscribe.
1100 lines a day which is EASY to meet sm
I am fairly fast, but I got that 1100 on MY VERY FIRST DAY!!!
Lines are easy to get and I have so much work, it is unreal. I can and want to go all day and past it. I still have 4.75 hours to make up this week, but the work is holding at a high level and they are so low stress, I am not tired right now after 9.5 hours today, just want a break for a bit and a hot meal, then back to it.
I can't say enough good things about this place, I just can't.
ETrans doesn't hit 9 cpl until you're at 1400 lines a day. nm
s
even if you are only doing 1400 lines a day at 8 cents a line that is still $15 an hour...
How many jobs are you going to get outside of the home making $15 an hour, especially in this economy and most parts of the country? That is only 175 lines an hour and most nationals expect at least 150 an hour, so that is not that much of a push. If you do 200 lines an hour, or 1600 lines a day, look at the raise and that is $16 an hour. This is also only making 8 cents a line, which by the time you are making over 1300 lines a day you probably are getting some sort of incentive, at least a lot of companies you do, and that would push this number up even more.
I used to be a graphic designer for many years and to this day pay for a good designer is only $12 to $14 an hour and you have to commute to the job, so how is it not realistic to make this type of money. I do not see where your logic is and if you are making so bad then maybe it is time to re-look at your profession and find something that is more a fit to you and make the money you deserve. I just do not see how making a minimum of $14 an hour is so unrealistic. Geez.
1400 lpd over 10 days? How easy is that to do with all the ESLs there? nm
b
I don't push like I did years ago - I usually get about 1300-1400 (sm)
If I push, I can get about 1600.
Sorry - yep 1100 per day or 5500 per pay period
nm
No flyer, but in 2005, they were only paying 8 cpl until you hit 1400 lpd. Any mention of

Do know either question, but I was offered 8 cpl on 1100 lpd with experience. You get 8.5 cpl if U
m
Not by the line but 1400-1500 radiology reports. 2-1/2 years. nm
nm
When there is a lot of work, do you find it hard to make 1100?
cause I sure do.
8 hrs & 1100 lpd have to occur for FT benes. FT pay 8.5 cpl. People have had trouble with paychecks
/
Pay offered last year was 8 cpl/w on 1100 lpd. Some posters said they lost all their good accts
s
1100 lpd for FT, good sound quality, ExText software, LOTs of ESLs..nm
s
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm
x
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm
x
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
x
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.
It's not 1600 lines -- it's 16,000 lines...and
I've got my contract right here and have already gotten 2 checks and YES, I am getting 9.5 cpl base rate.
I don't know what other people are getting. Don't really care. I work for MY paycheck. Gosh.
Why would they "fix" lines? The more lines you
transcribe, the more you make, the more you make, the more you make. It wouldn't profit any company to put a lid on line counts.
lines
My lines have dropped too and I thought it was because I was slacking off or something - my checks have been 300 dollars less for the past 3 pay periods....hmmmmm
300+ lines?
can you email me - I want to know HOW you do it? tanks! myfingershurt63@yahoo.com
Like I said--how many lines do you do?
A whole lot of people don't like it--a whole lot more than do. How many lines are you able to do? Care to share since you love Transcend so much. Is it more than 400 lines an hour typing and more than 600 lines an hour editing? If not, you can't understand my situation at all.
How do you get 1-1/2 lines?
On my account, I never get that, the most I'm offered is 0.05 a line extra.
lines..
they are saying 250 because I want $15 per hour,but honestly..I'm having a hard time keeping up.....I can do the 250, but it would take time to get used to the dictators and get all templates/abbreviations on the system. I was offered a job with Medquist for 8 cpl, 8.5 if you go over a certain number of lines.... however, they get such bad press I haven't sent in thep paperwork and was thinking of only trying them part time to start.....anyone with any advice? TIA
8 cpl for 11,000 lines a pay, 8.5 for 14,000 lines and over. nm

hrs/v/lines
From what I hear it all depends on the MQ office you work out of. I understand Amherst has a fit if your off by 15 minutes.
UGH, I think it should be either or lines or hours, not both. They just want to get the max out of us!!!
3 lines
I have 3 lines. My long distance is through AT&T from a long time ago. It is unlimited and it covers all three lines.
Yes, I have to say how many lines I will do but
I don't have to work a set schedule. If you read the post above mine, you will see that the poster says she thinks it's because people just get on 24/7 whenever they feel like it and type and that's why there is no work, and it sounds like she thinks it would be better if we worked within a certain time frame so we could get our work in during those hours. I don't think that is the problem at all. I have been with MDI for several years and having access was never a problem before; when I was ready to work there was work. I think the problem now is that there are just too many people and not enough work to go around.
lines
usually around 5000 lines per pay period.
lines
It depends on the company.
dsg lines
Can anyone share how many lines per hour you do approximately at DSG. I work there and just seems like it takes me forever to get lines in....
osi lines
I use a lot of templates and some I use probably 15 times a day, and I noticed one day that where this particular template used to be about 30 lines, it is now 27. I have been a Transcriptionist for a long time and I know how actual lines are not the ones I see on the page.
Yes, yes, and seems to be okay with lines. nm
s
For how many lines?
125?
lines per day
Ack!! I'd be in a lot of pain in my wrists and back if I had to do 1800 lines every single day! Maybe I'm getting too old for this...sigh.
