In Reply to: How many lines per hour should a seasoned MT - expect for Radiology with a mix of exams?
up to 300 per hour but with the right macros/expanders you can certainly do even more than that because it not only depends on the account but also how proficient you are with your expanders.
Of course, you'll probably need a day or two to recuperate from your hard work:)

Very easily...
If I can currently get approximately 2,000 lines from 80-90 minutes of dictation at 13 cpl, $1.00 per dictated minute is a big loss. It depends on the speed of the dictators and also the rate.
I can do 300 lpd relatively easily, $100 a day.

She gave up too easily IMO.
You can get into the system and see the dictator's other reports. When doing a discharge or consult you can check the H&P. You build your normals for the difficult ones. It takes some time, but it's just the usual groundwork in my experience. These ESLs are quite doable compared to one account I had to do now and then with a different service. And what you can't figure out, you blank. More than 3 blanks and it goes to QA. Not your problem after that. The QA people are great and very complimentary of my work. Makes me feel very good to have them reply that yes, that one was tough! We laugh over what VR would do with those dictators. People can only get good with ESLs if they persist at learning them.
If it isn't easily apparent...
to you, then I will not spend time trying to explain it to you.
And as easily as the recruiters move around SM
they also can remember all the difficult or nasty people they have had bad experience with at their old companies. What a person sows at one company, they may reap when they try to move to another.
Their pay is bottom of the barrel. You could easily
A recent job search placed them at the bottom in terms of pay and the schedule they assigned me. Move ahead to something better.
You can easily find private insurance for
a family for a reasonable price compared to what most transcription companies charge and then you aren't tied to a job because of insurance.
Can you easily make your line count - sm
Old posts say 1600 lines per day required. Is that possible on their accounts without going nuts? I was sort of looking into them too, just in case.
At OSi using ExText we can easily pull up other patient reports
I've done that many times if I can't understand a medication name or whatever. I'll pull up the H&P, progress notes, whatever. Really easy to do.
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.
do you consistently
get the same line count total on a daily basis or exceed that?
Nobody, just an employee consistently sm
out of work and fighting for lines like so many others while the poster brags about too many lines and getting bonuses. It's kinda ignorant to others to come on here and brag.
You will starve! Consistently no work!!

lol. My bad...I meant $5000 consistently
CHEERS!
Not bad at all. Consistently hitting 2000 plus
lines a day. Just gotta get used to the Audit SW. It's not the greatest but it's not the worse.
Been there, did not make it consistently, left and did
Got a nicer manager at the other company too.
Do you consistently have penty of work?
It's my understanding from MTs who have left Landmark that there is often an issue of a lack of work.
Do you work PT or FT? In your experience, do you usually have plenty of work?
How will anyone get incentive if they consistently run out of work. That is a BIGEE.

MTSOs need to know the work is going to be done consistently. Not just when someone feels like

I have been running out of work consistently recently. nm

Any other Spheris MTs running out of work consistently? NM

But not everyone has extra time to spare consistently, even at their
Again, I don't work for Amphion, but I could never work somewhere that wanted consistent OT. I deliver high-quality, high-production 40 hours, and outside of that I still don't have enough hours in the day to devote to my non-MT life. Amphion would be a terrible match for me, but I'm glad there are others who can live up to the overtime demands.
good money but consistently run out of work??

Don't know but last year offered 8 cpl w/sps from 1100-1400 lpd. Then went to 8.5 if consistently

Yeah, right. Heard this before. They flat-out consistently over hire.
nm
I do think it has been light lately, but if you are consistently running out of work try talking to
your account lead and see if there are some answers for you. I have several accounts and don't usually run out, but don't always work on my primary.
Thank you for proving my point: Being consistently good has a better chance.....nm

Only comment I found from last year said they were consistently late with payments. nm

I am having a hard time understanding why companies consistently overhire when they run an ad.
They have to know that people that need a certain amount of income are either going to quit or cut back and get a second job. What does it gain them. I would think this constant hiring and hiring and training would get very old and certainly has to impact quality.
TransTech LOW and NO WORK consistently for many months now, especially within the past couple
of months when they thought they were getting a new account and hired everyone who called or submitted a resume. There is just NO WORK for all of us anymore. Lost account, so what did they do -- put those MT's piled on top of us on our primary account.
TT is in serious trouble, I do believe, financially. If they are having to pay MANY MT's, but have few accounts, they won't last for long. Who is TT's financial backer????? Do they have one???? Who owns TT??? I once heard a real estate broker owned them. Wonder how much rent they pay on their office in Houston??? Wonder how many $$$$ in bonuses they are giving out to mgmt-type people????
We TT MT's are seriously hurting financially and getting very stressful on our health and livelihood. We hear absolutely nothing from mgmt about this situation, but *good things* are coming. You remember when the Q said the same thing to their MT's a few years ago and it was only beneficial to mgmt. It was a real crock!!!!! 
I must say that my job that I used to enjoy beginning my shift every day is now the MOST stressful thing in my life, and we ALL have stressors of one kind of another, admit or not. TT has become the biggest stress in my life, without a doubt. A doctor friend of mine and my own personal doctors say that is what my problem is.
These MTSO's have gotten just as greedy as GMC and all those other HUGE conglomerates!
I don't understand it. We've been consistently running out of work primary and secondary the
I quit.
I've easily done 600, but it depends on the way a company counts lines and it depends on the
dictators. Obviously, if you have a good share of ESL, there is no way you could ever do 600 or 700. On really difficult ones, I usually run around 400 lines an hour and I have been working on this platform for 3 years.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm
