eScription line rate
Hi,
Our rates are dependent on experience. Starting at 7 - 10 cents a line for typing, and 3 to 4.5 for editing. Your more then welcome to email me for more information.
Thanks
Transcend only pays 55% of line rate for editing...
I could have dealt with an 80% cut. I think that is a very fair rate. That is my whole point. I do not have a problem with the fact that they are moving to ALL editing. I have a problem with the cut being too large. I think 6 cpl would have been fair. That allows you to make a decent wage, but 4 cents is absolutely ridiculous. If voice recognition is the way of the future, at least MQ is doing something right, at least trying to be fair. Transcend is just greedy!!
Can someone please tell me what is a fair rate per line for speech rec editing?
Thanks in advance!
From the current editing rate not typing rate
.
I average btw 400-600 lph on escription. nm

It's about average on eScription accounts.
I get 4/8.4 as an employee.
How many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Doesn't matter where you work, how many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Yes, editing (Escription) workload has been very low.
I agree with you there and if that is what everyone is talking about, yes definitely. The rest of the accounts are not slow. However, Transcend does have a lot of editing for people that want to edit. MDI doesn't specialize in it, so when Escription is slow - there is not a lot to fall back on.
I love editing and Escription
But triple your count? Nah, that's a dirty lie, lol!
Double is a far more realistic figure, some days more and some days less depending on how well the system translates the dictator.
I'm very fortunate in that most all of my dictators are deciphered very well by the system, but I've yet to triple my line count even on the best of days.
As the poster below says, you can go as fast as your audio allows you to go.
Escription is user friendly and 4 cpl is about average for that platform. You could easily do 400
lines an hour. Some people do even 500-600. Good luck with your decision. From what I know, it really is the best VR platform out there and I make more on that than ever could straight typing.
is the VR line rate 60% of the regular typing line rate?

I had assumed eScription was simply editing, not correct? (nm)
Average Pay Rate for QA Editors
I don't want to know anyone's personal information, I was just curious as to what the average rate of pay is for QA editors, both in-house and home-based. Thanks
What is the average or going rate for MTs these days?
I've gotten a couple of offers for jobs. The pay seems aweful low for someone with 3 years experience. Yes, I know that is a lot less than some but I'm certainly no new graduate. I've gotten offers for IC positions starting at 5 and 6 cpl for 65 character lines. Today I got another for an IC position that pays 6.5 cpl for 65 character line without spaces.
I may have to take one of these lower paying jobs until I can find better because my family needs the income. Hopefully there is better out there... geeze. Please, is this the 'going' rate for us now. :(
They cut the pay to an editing rate of 4 cpl..nm

Editing Rate
A lot depends on what platform you are editing with. Escription is clearly the best. I get paid 3.9 cents per line for editing, and I am very happy with that rate. With eScription, I can edit at about 500 lines per hour. Sometimes higher.

Is 2-2.5 cpl for editing an MT low?

Is 3cpl for editing a good rate with editing people, not VR?
MQ PTO: Do the packets say how PTO is accrued, or if it still paid at average rate? nm

What is a good rate for editing ASR
I'm sure there are many different platforms, and I don't have any info on the platform I will be using, but I have been told on the account I currently work on, I will soon have a choice of editing Speech or typing. Can you all share recent experiences with Speech platforms and per line rate? Thank you!
When MDI-FL pays vacation time, is it hourly rate or an average
Their line rate was less than my current nat'l rate, even with mucho experience. nm

VR rate is 1/2 rate of traditional typing,I believe it is 4 cents line.
Is 5 cpl a good rate for eScription VR? I have no
experience in this VR software and have no idea if this rate is good or not. Please help. TIA
It depends on if this is editing other MT's work or VR. If VR, that is a good rate. nm

Webmedx ASR rate is 70% of your regular line rate. sm
So if you are on a 9 cpl account, you get 6.3 CPL plus any bonus / incentives / shift differential.
For Escription I think 4 to 4.5 base rate, which seems to be on the high
end of the scale that companies pay for Escription editing. Hope that helps.
Is the ASR line rate 1/2 of transcription line rate? sm
Reason I ask is that I assume if they have ASR now that eventually all will be ASR except of course for the awful dictators as this seems to be the norm.
Oh, they make money off us. Line rate is 17 cents a gross line.nm

What are your average line counts and
how much of line count loss do you feel you have experienced on ExText?
I left MQ for TT. The base line rate was less at TT, but overall I make more per line with the
shift differential (I work second shift) and the incentive plan (I have never once failed to make at least an extra half cent per line on incentives - most of the time a penny). I was scared to death to make that move, as I had been with MQ since back in the Transcriptions Limited days. I have to say, though, that it was the best career move I have ever made and I have never, not once, regretted it.
I hope that was of some help.
What about line counts? What do you average an hour?

Focus - what are their average line rates??
You hear good, bad, so-so and ugly about them. One thing you never see is what exactly are they paying. I hate to waste my time talking, applying, or testing with anyone who doesn't disclose their pay rates. I have extensive EXText experience, including the EXSpeech Turbo (which is awesome I might add). I know that VR doesn't always pay as well as it should, but if it's a productive platform and I don't have to type 50-blue-million ESL guys, I don't expect to make 8 cpl. However, just exactly what can you expect. If I have to edit or transcribe quality work that doesn't require you to go back and fix every other report, or if I'm not sending tons of reports to the QA person to figure out my blanks, I expect to be able to make good money for my experience. Is anyone willing to share what their pay rates are? If I can't average 22-25 an hour....not worth looking at.
The average 65-char line has more than 10 spaces.
Your math is flawed.
Yeah I had applied for the Escription account (before I knew the insulting pay rate) with years of
experience and no one bothered to get back to me. Once they told me what they paid, I would have never accepted anyway, but I find it odd that they would not pursue someone with years of experience. I guess they knew there would be no one I would accept their pay. Apparently, they are hoping some desperate people apply, which is NOT me but best wishes to them.
Or 1.5 cents a line for editing. nm
Editing daily line count
What is considered a good hourly line count for editing? I'm being asked this by a service....but our hospital pays by the hour and by report, not by lines. I'm trying to come up with a reasonable number. Thanks for your help!
RE: Editing at extremely low line rates
If you get a discount on the coffee, I'm in....LOL
Editing at extremely low line rates.
What are the standard rates for Quality Assurance Editing these days? Well, that depends on what you are editing. If you are editing TRAINED Voice Recognition files expect to make less per line, maybe a couple of cents per line. For UNTRAINED Voice Recognition files, you should be earning at least 3 cpl or better. Editing relatively clean reports that require very little change should earn you up to about 4 cpl. Editing transcribed reports by new grad MTs or offshore MTs should earn you 5 to 6 cpl. I really don't think I'm far off base here, but I am certain that if you take a job editing transcribed reports done by offshore MTs, you should not accept anything less than 5 cpl, otherwise you are doing yourself a disservice even if you are trying to break into Editing. Feel free to respond.
$0.05 per line for editing, 0.065 for transcription IS 3rd world wages.

Yeah, it's Escription. The line counts are just not there.
I'm going to stay with my PT job that uses Dictaphone and bag Transcend.
editing rates are 1.5 cents per line....can you say SLAVE WAGES??
0.0425 on eScription, lot more than double line production.

Line rate
I was offered 6.5 cpl. How do I calculate gross pay based on that? I'm not sure how many lines I can produce, since I'm still completing a transcription course and this will be my 1st position.
line rate
oh, my gosh -- i've been with them 3 years and am SE with a base rate of 8 cpl, but usually get 8.5 cpl with the 6000 lines minimum. that is just wrong that you've been with them that long and you're making that. have you ever asked for a raise?
How is their line rate? sm
Recently applied but worried they will offer a low line rate to begin. Do you know what their base rate is or does it vary based on test results and years of experience.
If so, do you know the range?
TIA:)
They did tell me the line rate..
Just wanted to hear from people who knew about them or had worked for them as to whether they are a good company to work for.
