I agree. The line counter is a pain, but I've checked lots of reports against MS Word

Pay is on time but they use a Word counter. sm
I agree with the OP that it is not great great pay. The accounts are not too great either. The better work is cherry-picked by the owner, and other good work given to the pets. They also pester you nonstop to work all 7 days of the week.
Softscript line counter
Does anyone know what platform they use or if they use a platform. How do they count lines. Newbie and confused. Thank you.
and the line counter is a cheat
I swear their line counter is rigged.

OSI Line Counter - Must Vent!!
I know this is probably petty, but does anyone else notice the line counter at OSi goes down every single weekend?? Do they disable it to keep us from knowing how much we've typed, afraid we might not work as much?? This is so irritating. I like to keep track of how much I've done and this is very frustarting. I hate just sitting here typing in the dark.
I never liked them having an external line counter..sm
when I worked for them. I thought it was quite odd. I like to know what I am typing as I finish each report, etc.
Softscript line counter, where did the posts go
regarding this. We, previous and PAST, employees have a right to tell which companies rip MTs off and they are the worst. Line counts change day to day.
New software? Hope its a new line counter
cause theirs is way off.
It seems they are dodging questions about the supposed new line counter they've been
nm
Means a line is a line is a line, even if it only has one word on the line
it is considered a line.

per word or per line
this can be confusing. can anyone explain at 0.0056 paid per word on a 65 character count how it comes out to being paid more than my current job at 0.0850 per 65 character line. She told me I would be paid per word not line. Doesn't that come out to the same as being paid 65 character count on a line? the job pays per header, footer, demographics at 0.0056. I am just questioning because right now I get paid at 0.0850 but not for headers or footers. How could 0.0056 be more? Please explain! I hope this makes sense the way I explained this!
I don't use the Word line count, I use the
character count without spaces, and a character is a character is a character and so on and all characters are created equal. I then divide the number of characters by 65 and come up with a line count. I realize that the MTSOs don't pay for underlining, bolding, etc., and I don't believe that word counts those either.
Paid by the word instead of the line...anyone?
Does anybody get paid by the word instead of by the line? What is the rate range anyway? Is this better than by the line?
My line count is about 3-8 less than Word, whereas...
when I worked for OSi the line difference was 24-35. Needless to say, I am VERY happy at Transtech!
11-word line count??? Has anyone...
ever worked for a company that uses this? I counted a few documents with this vs. a 65-character line (including spaces), and it is WAY less in total lines. The company offering this insists it is comparable. Has anybody else encountered this method of line counting?
Thanks.
Word says line count is different
from that shown on the Dictaphone website, much much much less. Look im not gonna argue my point, you try it for yourself and come to your own conclusion. It has nothing to do with the acct, it is the way the company counts lines, doesn't count headers and footers and other characters. I wonder if it even counts when you hit the space bar for a word expansion. Try it you'll see.
MS Word line spacing
I have MS Word 2003. It may or may not be the same. Go under format, paragraph, then line spacing and choose double spacing. Let me know if this helps.
Charge by the word instead of line?
Does anyone know what the going rate is on charging per word instead of by line? I don't know of any place that pays that way so I would appreciate any input!! Thanks.
Being paid by the word versus line
I just got offered a job making $5.00 per 1,000 words. I have never been paid by the word. I hear I am getting ripped off bit time. Can somebody explain to me what the difference is getting paid by the word versus getting paid by the line? I am a new MT and want to make sure I am getting paid correctly. Thanks!
Line count in MS Word 2007
Does anybody know how to get their line count when typing a regular office note in Microsoft Word 2007? This software is so new to me. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
And I word posts so will fit in subject line and not

I don't use my own counter
because the counts don't seem far off to me (that's why I asked how far off)... If you are talking a smallish amount you should foget about it IMHO because at least TT PAYS ON TIME and is very receptive to feedback.
Remember not all companies use the same counting formulas...
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

A counter this is quicker to access, but I've never seen anything

You work in Word. sm
You are provided headers that you fill in and just add in a new header for each dictation. You will end up with one long document. You'll need a c-phone or re-record equipment and unlimited long distance. Lots of work and nice people to work for. Pay is always on time (by mail). Hope this helps. :)
Word's out from the T: Little or no work...sm
available this weekend but cannot take time off. Deja vu????
You can work in Word or WP5.1, whichever
format you are most productive with. You run a micro that pulls up the header, type in patient's name and it puts it in the correct place in the header. Occasionally doctors enter wrong work type and you will need to change that in the header. If you need to do a CC, you run a macro and the list of docs comes up, you highlight the doc and enter and info goes where it needs to. When new doctors are added you do have to add those into the system. You may go months and not get any new doctors and then get 30 one month, It is very easy to add them in. Unfortunately PAs are not in the system so until you get familiar with them you have to look them up.
You do spellcheck, run a macro for line count, run a macro to send the work - EASY.
Company is QT Medical and they are hiring. There have been a couple of posts about them this week. Good company.

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm

Put the extra work in to studying ESL accents, word expanders, become
more proficient as an MT and you will become more valuable and get better line count. Just IMO.
Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
