In Reply to: Eighteen years of typing and fast typist - Old MQer
then pray tell us how you are doing it. I certainly would like to share this with MQ because I also have done this many years, know my work, and there is no way to do 2400 lines because most days all the accounts are out of work.

If you are doing 2400 lines in an 8 hr day on an MQ
If you do 2400 lines in an 8 hour day working on an MQ platform, please tell us all how you are doing it.
SGS require 2400 daily lines?
Does anyone know if it is true that Superior Global Solutions out of Texas requires 2400 daily lines to qualify for full time and receive benefits? If so, is there enough work to actually make that many daily lines? Are they a good company to work for? Thanks in advance, all responses appreciated.

Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
2400 lines, I'm stuck on that number. 8 hours??? I want to see her answer that one.
outstanding account(s) to do this in 8 hours. We had one whole week lately with no work at all, maybe get 30 lines an hour. And it wasn't just our office, people were calling NJ also about not having any work.
And if you are doing quality work, you have to be slowing down to make out the slurrs and bad grammar.
Well, her day will come. When they turn her into an editor, and her accounts dry up into nothing but VR let's see what happens. And her account must be very simple (tasty for VR grabbing), it will disappear.
LOL
Have been running out of work all week - have 3 accounts
nm
Very neg. posts about TH - running out of work, getting nasty when you don't make your lines. TC
s
No, we are no "all running OT". On most accounts, there is not enought work to go around sm
as usual. Same old, same old. They overhire and the loyal employees cannot even get in their required 35 hours.
Anyone else working for eTransPlus running out of work on a daily basis?
How are you handling it?
I am working to support myself so running out of work constantly, is not an option.
I realize there are slow times, but a lot of places offer backup accounts. Why put all of your eggs in one basket. I'd starve.
There's plenty of work at Webmedx - my group of accounts is running OT. SM
Again, why don't you ask your manager for MORE WORK?
WEBMEDX???? It's a small national, right? Benefits, running out of work, what kind of accounts,
flexible schedule (as in working EVERY weekend mandatory?
Any opinions on the company would be appreciated. Found some in the archives but all mostly from 2004 and 1 recent post but not much info. Thanks.
at that rate, working acute care, I would do $28 an hour - but I only work 6 hours a day...
Like she said, you just have to be able to utilize all your tools and be at it for years - it comes eventually...
I actually make $33.00 an hour though because at my production tier I make 10 cpl a line.
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm
x
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR
x
Well if I could do 500 lines per hour, I would be making 35.00 an hour. sm
nothing to sneeze at. More than fair for having a 2-year degree. Come on people, we are all acting like we expect 6-digit incomes! Whatev!
If that's $9.50 an hour, that would be just under 6.5 cpl at 150 lines an hour. nm
s
How many lines do you do an hour?
I type 350-400 and edit about 325-375. What about you??
300 Lines An Hour
Very doubtful...What on earth account are you doing...There are several of us above and beyond experienced and familiar with DQS and no way can you produce that on a daily basis..Sorry Charley...Must be incognito staff..Rha Rha Rha
Wow ... 400+ lines per hour ... my hat's off to you :-) sm
If I sit and totally focus and make my fingers fly as fast as they can, I can do 400 lines in an hour ....... but just for that ONE hour. After that, it's a law of diminishing returns. I tried it one day ... 410 the first hour, 375 the next, then 310 ... and then it was nap time! (smile)
I have thought about getting into QA at least part-time. I have to do lots of stretching exercises and load up on Advil, or my tendinitis flares and then I can't do much of anything.
Thanks for validating what I said. I wasn't trying to brag or anything -- maybe I came off wrong. Maybe I should tell Dorothy I need a bonus for defending the company (smile).
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I do 300 to 450 lines/hour (sm)
on a very slow platform. Are you making full use of Instant Text and normals? Feel free to email me, as depending on your experience, I may be able to suggest a service or two. Sorry, mine isn't hiring.
I mean lines per hour not per day

Lines per hour-sm
Hi Ladies (& guys),
I could really use your help. For full time status (employee or IC, doesn't really matter) what is your minimum line quota? Just a short reply is all I need. My manager is looking for averages to give to her director. We're getting high numbers from an outside consulting firm (170-200 lph minimum for full time, 8 hour per day, 40 hour per week staff.)
Anonymous is okay, but known company info would be cool if you know what they require, regardless if you work for them or not. We're just looking for basic rates, i.e., how much do you have to type to keep your full-time status.
Thanks so much!
892 lines per hour is ANOTHER LIE .... sm
Your first lie was that you typed 130 words per minute. Nobody typing that fast would put up with VR.
Read all the posts. 50,000 Frenchman can't be wrong.
How many cpl/about how many lines per hour?
It's the 4 cpl and below for VR that I find it hard to believe anybody makes comparable pay to straight doing.
Doing a quick guesstimate, you would have to be doing close to 550 lph at 4 cpl to make what you did in the period of time you did today. Are you really doing that many lph, or (hopefully) just being paid more than 4 cpl?
100,000/year - no way. I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days - sm
AND I DO NOT CLEAR $100,000/YEAR.
what's not to believe - I said that I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days AND DO NOT MAKE - sm
I DO NOT MAKE $100,000/YEAR
try READING the post.
So you edit more than 400 lines an hour?
I havent seen anyone else be able to do that on the new platform. What is your secret because I have tried and could only do 425 maximum on the best day with the best dictators on. Way too much work for that kind of money.
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?
Yup, that is about right - sometimes 700-800 lines per hour, it all depends. nm

How many lines per hour should a seasoned MT
I know it depends on work types and such but I just need a generalized idea. This is my first time being paid by line. The job offers a good mix of exams. TIA
Does your QA staff do 500 lines plus an hour? Ask your
attorney what the law is to paying less than minimum wage. Just curious as to what he has to say
How many lines per hour do you average?
312 lines per hour, not 3100, and you can
x
If you type 200 lines that is only $4.00 an hour?
Not even minimum wage. Tell them to go on to India if that is all they are paying.
impossible? its 127 lines/hour.
nm
Something is wrong here: This would mean 28 lines per hour,
or is it
1100 per day?
you said 446 for half an hour of VR LINES SO... DUH....SM
I just did x2. I don't care if you typed after that, it still would be doubled for an hour. this is REALLY idiotic all right and I'm not wasting any more time on you. You already lost credibility by saying you type 130 wpm and would rather VR. Simply a lie miss L.
you type 250 to 350 lines per hour?
you type that fast?
24 hour TAT? For all accounts? nm

Does OSi really require the 185 lines per hour that they ask for on their website? nm
x
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
x
Yeah, but 100 lines/hour isn't even transcribing, more
If you have a decent line count, say 250 lines/hour, and worked that same UNbelievable 12 hours a day at 9 cpl you'd be making $1350 a week. Plenty to live on.
That I get more lines per hour on Scribe than I did with DocQscribe...
nm
Most companies go by the number of lines per hour,
adjusted for full-listens, etc. To try to go by the number of reports is idiotic. There are too many variables for that.
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.
