Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR
x
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.

I wonder if Heartland knew it was MT week coming up? Nice way of saying thanks....
nm
Thank you, Medware, for the MT week gift! Nice to be appreciated! :) nm

Keystrokes sent out t-shirts for MT Week. It is nice to be appreciated! nm

Nice people, can be low on work especially in the early part of the week SM
Be warned, they don't pay for normal reports.
If you can only type 500 lines a day- LOL
nm
That should be the more lines you type sm
sorry, long day already.
How many lines do you do in a week?
,
No, for every 100 lines you type you get paid 100
The ctrl-I counts headers and footers in the line count on the Extext document. However, you get paid for what you type, not the headers which were already in place. Maybe one day there will be a perfect line counter where neither of them counts headers but for now there are two different counters, the one that comes with the Extext document itself (including headers) and the one that comes from WHAT YOU ACTUALLY TYPE AND ARE PAID FOR. How much simpler does this need to be explained? You get paid for what you type - everything you type. Period. Okay? Just because Extext counts the header doesn't mean a thing because ichart counts what you type and that is what you are paid by. So far, there is no system for Extext to NOT include the header because it is reading the entire document including the header (that you didn't put type in the first place). Extext count is wrong (although a little higher). ichart count is correct.
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.
I do get holiday pay PLUS all the lines I type
My company pays for holidays and if you work them, you still get your holiday pay plus what you type.
you type 250 to 350 lines per hour?
you type that fast?
Nice people to work with. Lines never added up though.
I couldn't tell you about the benefits because I was part-time and didn't need them at that time. They use Dragon MT as their platform. I personally didn't like it.
More than 1200 lines a week?
so what's the point in being so rude to wandering MT?
11,000 lines per 2 week period. nm
150 lph x7-8 hrs or 5500 lines a week for 35 hr min.
X
FT = 6000 lines a week. nm

I know people who are doing 10,000 lines per week, sm
20,000 per period. I find it hard to believe that a recruiter would have discouraged you from hiring on here.
As for hiring now, there are new accounts coming on in December and January; that's why they are advertising for more MTs at this time.
Ugg this is so frustrating! I am going to try to get more lines the first week
of the payperiod and maybe that will help. I have a child but he is away for the summer so I am able to sit and wait 24/7. I just have to juggle the bills this time around, either pay for the furniture or the rent, but not both. Will be lying low this week food-wise too, good thing I am alone and can cut back on going anywhere or buying anything. Perhaps the recession will end and the new accounts will help. Going elsewhere might end up being the same thing, so I am going to overlap TT with something else. Just thinking aloud here... thanks for your feedback. It is hard to talk to coworkers when you are home and don't know anyone in the area who does the same kind of work.
Not just this week, a long term problem. Nice people, good benefits, but
nm
On the new plan, if I type at 1500 lines a day at
nm
I know you need to type 1800 lines a day in order to get 11 cpl.
x
if you type 1500 lines plus per shift
with what seems to be the most popular company to work for. I'm job looking. I do believe I may have to apply! What's the difference between Meditech magic and Meditech XL?
Wait, you can only type 1200 lines a day?
You can't type more?
Nice company, but they use the DocQScribe software that MQ uses. Lost too many lines with it, so
s
How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
I am able to make 10,000 lines M-F every week at eTransPlus - nm

Excuse me but I am ahead of my lines for the week anyway sm
so if I want to make an omelete, that is my choice. Was I complaining for being out of work at that particular moment? No. Besides, I have work now and also, we are allowed a 30 minute break to eat by government criteria. I don't know if you know that or not.
I agree. I was thanked for working extra the end of last week and told of some MTs on my job type
who were out due to illness or vacation and that we were getting behind. Same as the message this morning....the minutes were building up. Seems things are a bit desperate at this point and we all just need to quit trying to read into the situation and pitch in and get the work back under control. OUR company needs OUR help, and we need to pitch in 200% or we may very well find ourselves without an account to work on. I don't think it was a threat this morning - I think it could happen.
Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
I started at 0.08 but am at 0.085. The lines are easy to get. For some reason, I type sm
more lines in 6 hours than I used to in 8 hours at a small company in Tampa. It might be because I have two doctors that I am responsible for and am the only ones that do them. I also help on two others when their Transcriptionist is off or has too much.
Don't twist my words. I said that I type 1600+ lines per day. sm
I do. My personal requirement for myself is 1600 lines, 1400 lines if I am not feeling well or have kids home without a babysitter. MOST days I type in the 2500-3000 line range. There are days I do more than that, but not many. I do not work overtime very often; I have 5 kids and it is impossible for me to do so. Don't read more into this than there is.
Current Transcend employees...what type of lines...sm
What type of line counts are you getting as far as VR on the Beyond Text platform? I am rather new and not getting a very good line count and was wondering if there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have gone through all the resources on the main website to help enhance line count, but not seeing much of a difference. Thanks. 
Yes, 10 cpl, mininum of 5000 or 6000 lines per week I think. nm
x
11,000 per week editing lines, 5,500 straight typed.
Don't know how much it is for husband and kids. $70 a week for me and two kids.
MQ. PTflex...2000 lines/week and 401K.
NM
Now that bonuses are paid by total lines per week sm
it doesn't matter what your LPH total is, so you can stay clocked in or out for those little things, as you choose.
I love it. Got my full-time lines first week.
First time in years I am back to making my old money again. A good match for me, at least. IMHO. Been in the business over 26 years and I like it a lot. Can see acct. specs while typing, samples, have normals and inserts, etc. Never a problem and that was from day 1. And I am not a recruiter, I am an MT who has been around the block enough times to know a good think when I have it and to stay put. Good luck to you.
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
6000 lines per pay period (2-weeks) and 20 hours per week that is
Just clarifying.
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
x
First, what kind of time frame are we talkin? 6000 lines in a week?
I ask because 6 cpl is horrible and if they expect you to produce 12,000 lines in a week in order to get 9 cpl, well that's just nuts.
But I digress, you original question was should you continue to work when you do not have access to your line count --> NO! And the fact that you are getting the run around should be sending up red flags.
Now you couple that with the 6 cpl and I would have to say this place you work at sucks!
Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm
nm
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm
xx
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone. I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre. I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Payperiod ... 2 wks....6K lines/week or 12K payperiod.
nm
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm
nm
Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
Nope .. email on 1/18 promised "within the next week." Here we are, 1 week later and no info.
