determing factor. Depends on use of expander, work types, dictator quality etc., your experience. $800 every 2 weeks is definitely doable, but there are too many variables to just look at the job and say this amount of dollars for 40 hours. Set your goals and work on it from there.

if your a slower typist, go for the $15, but.....
If you have speed and can utilize your normals, definitely take production. There are hours where I make $40 an hour at 9 cents per line. I would never go hourly.
They want typist who works for 9 or 10 cpl? Exactly

I like what someone said about being a keyboardist not a typist sm
or something similar since I noticed that I spelled definitely wrong.  And I should have said the post below and not above. But regardless, it is a US company that does not have anyone from India or any other country answer their phones. As a matter of fact, Joy is the woman usually who answers the phone. Say Hi from me.
Speed Typist
Well, with the Chartnet platform it is possible to get good line counts. The problem is there isn't any work at this company. They have lost a lot of accounts! There is so little work and so many MTs that you will barely get the minimum line count!!!
And if your facility is outsourcing to them or you think (or have been told) that you will have a primary account that nobody else will be typing THEY LIE!!!
There are so many MTs that need work that they will be given access to your account!!!! You will slowly watch your work go away!!!
After leaving this company because of no work I wish you much luck...You are going to need it!!!
Well, that's what we do. It's an appropriate term. At least its better than typist. nm

That is outrageous! I am not a good typist myself so sm
if they had said that to me, I'd know it for the truth. What I am is extremely good with an expander. I am not all that fast I don't think (300-325 lph). If could get through more than 2 lines without having to go in and fix something, I might make more money. I don't think I have ever gotten through anything other than a very short report without having to back up and fix something! I have been typing for about 35 years or so and you would think I'd get it, but I don't.
I have only been an MT for 12 years and I'll bet you are very very good in every way (shoo-in aside). Your typing skills must be top notch and I admire them. Don't like the hiney holes get to you.
I am not a fast typist & I gave it a 100% try....
When you start VR you are training it. I repeatedly had to change headings, sentences, periods, etc, etc. I started typing on my second job more and came back 2 weeks later and nothing had changed and maybe a little worse. I finally quit. I am not a fast typist but it takes time to make these changes and breaks you rhythm. That is what I found. I couldn't make money and it was so BORING.
Anyone ever worked on Winscribe Internet Typist?
Pro's? Con's? Any information would be greatly appreciated! TIA
That should read ... Has anyone ever used Winscribe Internet Typist?
It has been a VERY long day. Thanks!
Eighteen years of typing and fast typist
I speed up the dictation so that it can keep up with me
I had no MT training, not a fast typist, and no experience in tranascription
whatsoever and started out doing Psych transcription. I moved directly from Psych to acute care transcription without any additional training. I even started doing some of the most difficult dictators right off the bat and the MTSO couldn't believe that I could do them.
I actually have always hated to be called a typist. I do not just copy type. sm
I am a transcriptionist. 
Not management, don’t know about Transtech, fast typist, American, what have I not covered
Let's see, all the above have been said about me. I have been truthful trying to let others know about VR but the only thing most can do who are opposed accuse you of being too slow to make a decent salary, working as management, working for whatever company they are talking about and so on. I think I have reached my fill because others do not really care to understand. I went through why if VR threw in something wrong how a trained person would know and then someone came back asking if I were an American. If you cannot comprehend something seems like you just throw anything that might stick. I have tried because I have worked on VR now for about 7 years but no one wants to hear but what woes they face.
