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

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
.
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
s
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.
x
I can cut it, I do over 1800 lines in 7 hrs. I think I am the great employee. 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
s
2000 lines/day
How long does it take you?  That's amazing!!  By the time I get my 1000 lines done, I'm ready to quit for the day!
7.5/ln if do 2000 lines a DAY, OH PLZ
20,000 per pay period
10,000 per week
2000 X5 days = 2000 per day

for a whole 7.5 cents a line. They otta be emailed by all MTs and say HAIL NO, unless and until you agree to work for $1.50 an hour yourself. If nobody speaks up, wellllll
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
x
Who wants 2000 lines a day? That's outrageous! nm
m
How long does it take you to do 2000 lines nm
nm
at 80+ reports, you are doing about 2000 lines
nm
But are your 2000 lines per day ACCURATE?
If you expect to work at TT and shoot off 2000 lines per day that have a lot of errors you have just moved to the wrong company. You will be admonished about that. And you should be. Flying fingers don't cut it at TT unless the work is accurate. If you have a lot of Expanders and produce a lot of quality work you will be an asset. I have never made 2000 lines a day at TT but my work is accurate and they are a great company.
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.
2000 lines per day, what kind of work are you doing? nm
xx
again, realistically, most people are not doing 2000 lines a day
nm
3 cents per line up to 2000 lines per day
and then an incentive but still diddly for QA pay
To the MT wanting to know if 2000 lines a day at TT is doable sm
I am beginning to think it is really doable. I have 5000 lines for my week, 3 days in this week and I don't have the latest out of iChart either. Yes, it is doable. I have been there...oh 3 weeks and 3 days and I can do this already.

Yup, it is doable.
How long did it take you to build up to 2000 lines a day?
x
Forgot to include 2000 lines a day sm

On the first posting, it posted half way down the page (don't know why) so scroll downward for the figures.  It looks like there is no message (there is though)


Anyway, don't accept something like this, no matter what from this CHRISTIAN company as they put it.  This is clearly taking advantage of very very very skilled technicians.  Just makes me so darn mad to see stuff like this. 


2000 lines a day at $0.18 cpl. Believe it.....Not original poster, another one making $$$$. nm
x
Big difference between 2000 and 3000 lines per shift.
nm
MQ. PTflex...2000 lines/week and 401K.
NM
The only post I see that is idiotic is yours. You just admitted you did 2000 lines sm

straight typing, 3000 lines at VR for HALF pay.  So you lose.  If you were to break even then, you'd have to do at least 4000 lines on VR.  I don't honestly remember what you said you made, but most companies pay half for VR.


Before attacking, perhaps you should learn the fine art of reading and comprehension.


Ultimately, though, you're happy, so more power to you.  I'm happy too, so I guess it is a good Friday for both of us.  I will not respond to any more of your posts, but I do resent name calling and labeling by someone who obviously has a lot to learn himself/herself.


2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
Average lines
Did they happen to mention the average lines the other MTs were getting?
I average 300 lines an hour
but some days I do have to work over 8 hours to make it work because of things going on around the house, this will definitely disrupt things
AVERAGE LINES PER HOUR

Can anyone tell me what their average lines per hour are on speech recognition, such as escription or extext?


Medware - how many lines average?

Can anyone who works for Medware tell me what your average line counts are?  Can you get good line counts with them?


 


Thanks!!


What did your hourly lines average? sm
When you say you couldn't get your count up...how low was it, approximately? Must not have been worthwhile, huh?
How many lines per hour do you average?

Average of 1200 lines per day.
x
185 lines? The company I'm working for wants 250......what is the average???? Anyone???
Thanks!
150-170 lines per hour is pretty average.
Imagine that times 40%.  150 x 40% increase using an Expander is another 60 lines paid per hour.  At $.07 per line, it's the difference between $10.50 an hour at 150 lines or $14.70 an hour at 210 lines.  Work smarter, not harder.
Been here 4 months and average 250 lines per hour, sometimes 300.nm

How many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Doesn't matter where you work, how many lines do you average daily on eScription?
I usually average anywhere between 2500-3000 lines per shift
at KS.
oh dear I average 350 lines an hour straight
typing! If that's the average for VR, then that's terrible!! I cannot express how insane that sounds to me!!!
Is the MDI-FL BeyondTxt as bad as the Transcend BeyondTxt?
x
Gee, if you didn't do 1800, someone else could
.
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
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.
Also $2000. mo.
I'm right there with ya, pass the Kleenex. Over 10 years' experience, work to exhaustion, and bring home $2000. a month.

Years ago it was easy to build up normals, especially for Op reports, and get a decent lph rate. Now, shortcuts are unheard of -- my accounts are teaching hospitals so there are new residents every semester and it's like starting a new account every few weeks.

The old accounts with normals and easy dictators have gone by the wayside in my world -- apparently some of the high-earning posters here must have found them.


BeyondTxt
I don't work for Transcribe but I do work for MDI-FL on the BeyondTxt platform. I love it. Just like working in word with all the bells and whistles. Most of the Transcend work is or will be going to VR and I don't like editing so I am staying with MDI who assures us they will not be going to VR anytime soon. Hope this helps.
