I see they pay on a VBC line. Isn't that a huge paycut from a 65-char. line with spaces? nm

Spaces are about 27% of a 65 char line

55 char line with spaces
Ok guys how does a 55 char line WITH spaces = to a 65 char line. I was offered 8 for 55 char line with spaces and counts underlines, bolds, hard returns etc.
55 char line with spaces
Is 8cpl for a 55 char line with spaces and double counts for bold, underline, etc a good rate. Sorry, but i am used to getting paid for a 65 character line. What does this equal out to? Does anyone know how to figure it out. TIA!!
8.5 cents per 70 char/line with spaces
Does anyone get paid like this? Is this good?
Is a 55-char line without spaces good?
Does anyone know how a 55-character line WITHOUT spaces would compare to a 65-character line WITH spaces? Which one is better?
The average 65-char line has more than 10 spaces.
Your math is flawed.
They use MT-World software. I was offered 8 cpl for experience. Benefits are supposed to kick in at

Not true. They pay based on a 65-char line with spaces.

PS - pay based on 65-char line, SPACES INCLUDED. SM
Also paid for weekend work, 2nd and 3rd shift differential. Bonus plan based on production.
The norm in the 80s was 4 cents per Gross Line, not 65 char with spaces. nm

They use Medrite XL, which is supposed to be a VERY slow platform, and they were paying on a 70

Low pay, offered 0.065/65-char and this was for IC. No thank you! nm

Medrite XL and it's said to be some very nasty software. nm

The rate was 9.75 cents, 65 char. without spaces. No thanx! nm

I make .05 - 65 char line now, what should I be getting?

Will it be a 65-char. line or longer? nm

ya, it was a wierd char/line...sm
you are sane in my book, if that counts LOL
Paid for 55 char black line...
Can anyone tell me if they get paid this way instead of the 65 w/ spaces? If anyone else does, can you tell me roughly the difference it makes versus getting paid for spaces?
Thanks
Mark off a 65-char line. Then take random
sentences from your reports. Then count the spaces. Or you could put it in Word and use the tools to average it out. The average of spaces per 65-char line is more than 10. Try it yourself rather than just believing what you've been told.
Sounds like a gross line though, not 65-char.
Don't know if I misinterpreted the ad, but it might not be too bad if it is a gross line depending on dictator style. If there are a lot of short lines like on my current account, it could work out really well. I would actually make more at 6 cents per gross line than I make at 8 cents per 65-character line. Comparing the last report I just did, I made $5.08 for the report at 8 cpl, but if I had been paid 6 cents per gross line, I would have made $8.58. Can't really judge line rate unless you have all the info.
I thought someone posted on here about 75 char line, and can't check lines...nm

If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.

I have rec'd an offer and am receiving software install in the next day or so. SM
So far, I'm very impressed, and they are very nice. The cpl could, of course, be higher.....but then again, I always think that of every company I talk to. They do have a shift differential, and I'm going to be working in the evenings. We'll see how it goes, but I'm looking forward to it so far. I just sent in a resume out of nowhere, and it did take a couple of weeks for them to get back to me. From the point I answered back, however, it will have taken 4 days from test to install.
Use MT-World software, offered 8-1/4 cpl for experience, cap MIGHT be 9 cpl. nm

About 5 years ago was offered 10 cpl including spaces, 65 characters. sm
Don't know about now. That was doing all acute care, mainly op reports with full benefit package.
I declined and have my own accounts, but it was a good offer.
Good luck.
LOVE Bayscribe, HATE MedRite! MedRite when I used it was slow sm
and cumbersome -- would type and wait for it to catch up! Plus it had some annoying thing where if you were gone too long, a pop up window came up and you had to explain why you were gone. Bayscribe is fast, smooth, user friendly, and at the end of each report you can see how many lines you did and how much money you made, for that report and for the total day.
Good luck to you whatever you decide! 
Spaces are not taken into account with gross lines....a line is a line...sm
if there seven words on a line.
or two
one
or a full line of typing...all of the companies that I have worked for define a gross line as 1 inch margins, 12 pt courier font....does not matter what we type in margins or font.....we convert all reports to the 1 inch margins and courier 12 font and then count the lines. not the blank spaces between the lines.
Hope this helps.
Havent you decided to accept their offer..or have they offered a position?
If so, what kind of pay scale do they have..
Ask what is a line. I was offered 6 clp for a 42 black character line sm
that seemed to strange, but really it was not so bad. Came out pretty close to a 65 k/s line at 8.5 to 9.
It seems they are dodging questions about the supposed new line counter they've been
nm
It's longer than the "standard" 65-char. line so will take you longer to make those lines!

Good & bad posts in the past. Must work 1 Sat. a month. Supposed to be gross line pay. Some days
s
An ad from Dec. for them said you need a second line. They may have more than 1 platform/software,
s
they offer more per line because you have more
nm
10 spaces per line
that's the average using 1 space after a period which most places already do.
An average line has 10 words.
so if you are being paid VBC, make sure you are being paid on a 55 char line or less.
New software? Hope its a new line counter
cause theirs is way off.
I was offered 10 cents/line. I think they pay very well! nm
