You can't go calculate it that way

You don't use Tools/Word count/Lines anyway. You would you use characters with spaces divided by 65. And I don't understand that big deal about not being paid for headers/footers that we don't type.

Did you calculate in ....sm
the time away from home to attend the meetings to obtain the CMEs necessary to maintain the credentials? Most employers don't pay you to attend these meetings and in my state they're only held on Saturdays, which means that my family life doesn't exist when I attend a meeting, and if it's my Saturday to work then I don't get paid to go and have to catch up on my line count later.
What, how they calculate it? My pay is
just fine :)
calculate it
If you do 3000 on mostly VR, 2000 on straight transcription, and they pay 50% for VR, you will make less money.
I really don't see a company that in general is not generous with their pay suddenly being generous with VR pay.  I'm not complaining. I just don't want to do VR. I don't think it makes much sense to take extra steps to produce the same quality document. I will do VR only if I have no other options, which right now is not the case for me.
easier way to calculate
an easier way to calculate is that it is said that typically it takes 3X as long to transcribe so if itis 45 mins, multiply by 3 and divide by 60 to figure out the amount in hours so 45 X 3 = 135, divided by 60 = 2.25 two and a quarter hours.
What irritates me is that when I calculate my
divided by an 80 hour work week, it comes out to below minimum wage for my state. That stinks.
Not in this lifetime. NWIH would I calculate that.

Here is how you calculate it to get a correct count
Divide the iChart number by the Ctrl-I number, and you'll get a percentage (1200 div. by 1000 = 1.2). That will establish the number you need in the future. Then take the Ctrl-I number and divide by 1.2 to get the iChart number (1200 div. by 1.2 = 1000). This way you can keep track all day long by multiplying your Ctrl-I number by 1.2 (or whatever number you come up with). In my case I currently divide Ctrl-I by 1.1236 to get the iChart number.
Different servers may have different counts but this is definitely for IDC1 and has proven itself to be correct for me hundreds of times over years of using Extext. If you are on IDC1 just do Ctrl-I, take that number and divide by 1.1236, and that is what will eventually show up on your iChart number.
Just how do you think an MTSO will be able to calculate this into the work needing to be done?

65 with spaces versus 65 without spaces; how to calculate?
Can someone tell me if you are getting 9 cents per 65-character line with spaces how much you would need to be paid per line to make the same amount per line if you are offered a ''65-character line without spaces?'' Thank you very much
