Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm

I know you need to type 1800 lines a day in order to get 11 cpl.

My plumber doesn't do work for me on a daily basis. .sm
In my state, we need to get a 1099 if we make over $1000 as an IC. I have never paid a plumber that much money, thank goodness!
Anyone else working for eTransPlus running out of work on a daily basis?
How are you handling it?
Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
May I ask what account you are on and what work type you are doing to get 1800 in five hours?
NM
...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
I used to work for a company who separated the MTs by work type daily. sm
regret ever leaving that company. we had a max of 4 MTs typing a large training hospital with clinics. i was assigned consults and discharges with consults being my priority. another MT had ops and admits, etc. it worked so much better. we were RARELY out of TAT and each of us were trained on other report types for backup in case someone need to take off. not to mention that we were easily able to learn the ESLs because we got them repeatively enough to learn them, set up templates, etc. much, much more productive for us as MTs, for the company as work flow, and i am sure for the dictator because they got someone who knew them and their dictations well enough to be accurate. i don't understand why large MTSOs cannot comprehend how much more beneficial that would be.
1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

How do you get your required lines if there was no work at DSG or Keystrokes. Is
that a problem with them if there is no work or what do you do. Thanks!
Well, what do they do when people dont meet their required lines due to no work. Most ridiculous
thing I ever heard of. Overhire and then I expect MTs are to work 24/7 to get in required lines. Nothing like making a total fool out of people. Hardly worth making minimum wage now is it.
1800 lines a day is not much when making
That is exactly why I left Transcend. They try to make it look like people can make double what they did straight typing, but it's a crock. Lots of new people were hired at 10 cpl, but you don't earn 10 cpl for editing on BeyondTxt. Calculate what your earnings would be with the rate reduction at 2000 lines per day, which when I left was 55% of normal line rate with no incentive, and calculate what your earnings would be at 1700+ lines a day at 0.085 cpl, but don't forget the incentive rate, which at 1701 lines would have been 0.0075 cpl. Which way is actually making more money?
I've heard that the current rate for editing is 60%, maybe it's gone up. I don't know, but even at 70% a person making 1700 lpd straight typing would have to produce 2210 lpd editing just to break even, and it still wouldn't even be breaking even because the person is still losing the incentive bonus. Transcend's pay restructure benefits Transcend because they no longer have to pay as many people the higher wages they did with straight typing. It still amazes me that so many can't see that. Even if the BT program was the best thing since sliced bread, which it is NOT because there are so many problems with it, there is no way to make more money with editing unless the person is a low to mediocre producer. If you normally produce anything more than 1200+ lpd, Transcend really isn't the company to make money with because there are so many other companies out there that pay much higher. It all depends on what you're looking for.
What are they asking for, 1500/1800 lines a day, or more? nm
s
1800 lines so far and have 3 more hours to go in my shift.
.
I can cut it, I do over 1800 lines in 7 hrs. I think I am the great employee. nm
.
I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
From a 5/06 post, 8 cpl up to 1800 lines a day!!! Then you'll get 8.5. Not for this turtle
s
2000 lines, I havent done that in years. What work type do you do? nm
xxxx
what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule.
Silent Type has always required
x
We enter our lines daily on the intranet SM
You don't enter the minutes that you type, just the lines for the day.
I'm about 300 lines short daily. I've had some
dictators that were absolutely horrendous and the my reports come back from QA with blanks too, but then I have some really good dictators. The changes are driving me crazy. I wish they could explain things one time in a way that the MTs could understand. I'm sure there are more changes to come, though they have had at least part of the account for a long time so I don't understand all the changes now.
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.

How many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Doesn't matter where you work, how many lines do you average daily on eScription?
What type of software is required at TT and what do they supply? nm

Silent - how many lines required per page
I forgot to ask how many lines are on one page with them. Are there any suggestions needed to know ahead of time?
Been working almost 2 months now and almost at required lines. (sm)
Taking me longer to get used to program than I had anticipated. I know we have 90 days to actually make the grade, but am getting slightly worried. No one has called me on it, but I am sooo nervous. I am not a newbie, but maybe I am getting too old to learn new programs/etc.
Of course, checking the boards while I am working is not exactly helping me. I realize that and am only doing so on breaks now. Any helpful hints?
They have the accounts set up so that we can BARELY get our minimum lines required in.
If I want to camp out for 15 hours a day as I wait for work to trickle in I can make more. :-(
MDI-MA does not require a set schedule- you do your required lines in 24 hours. nm
nm
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR

Does anyone know the minimum lines required part time for Amphion? Thanks. nm

Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm

My weekly paycheck was $1800 before taxes - IC work. sm
It can be done with own accounts working no more than 8 hours a day!
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
If you can only type 500 lines a day- LOL
nm
That should be the more lines you type sm
sorry, long day already.
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?
Daily Work and TAT sm
I just started a new IC position last Monday. I had one day with some work last week (due to holiday) and yesterday there was nothing and today a 2 minute job. The company says they do not know when or who will dump the jobs. The TAT is 24 hours and work could be dumped any time of day. I report for work at about 7 a.m. Do you just sit around all day waiting for work? Should there be a cut-off time when it's too late to start? We do have lives too. What would you do? No other job expects you to wait around without being paid. I must be thick or something. Thanks for the input.
Daily Work and TAT............
It is probably just the holidays. Just hang in there. I have a very flexible schedule, so I know what you mean about waiting all day. I am home all day (homebody) and like the fact that I can check in, work when needed and get my house clean, take care of my kids and cook, etc in between time. I work for a GREAT MTSO and have never had an out of work situation until the holidays. It will pick up. :)
Are you required to work major holdays at KS. I know nature of biz to work them. Thanks for info. nm

On the new plan, if I type at 1500 lines a day at
nm
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?
Lines to type would be nice for MT week.
Wait, you can only type 1200 lines a day?
You can't type more?
