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.

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.
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?

Those are easier to do.
It makes them look good in front of a supervisor who is unaware!
I think they are easier to get, too, sm
but I only worked at MQ for a short while over a year ago. I agree that the atmosphere is better by far, too.
We know they get easier after a while; the woman would just like

NP easier to understand....
but they do go on and on and on forever....just can't keep it brief.
That's easier said than done these days. sm
Even the American products are built overseas or have some ties to offshoring.
but it wouldn't be easier for someone who has

would probably be easier to post the ones who don't

It was easier when they were babies sm
in the pre-toddler stage. Now that they are preschool/school age, I find it impossible to keep focused on work and them too. I had to resort to working in the evenings when my husband was home so I could not be distracted. Good Luck!
Nothing easier than self deceit?
I was BEGGED by my supervisor to hang in there and flex. Told that things would get better. A bunch of lies. Lies make me angry. Especially lies involving my wallet.
Sorry we aren't all half vulcan and see the world with cold professional logic right along with you. Surprise, some of us get emotional about our paychecks, especially during a recession. But if you're that embarrassed, don't read about it, and hang out with the other vulcans.
If I kicked you in the shin, would remain the picture of diginity and grace, or would you scream because it hurt? You are only a paragon of dignity because you personally has hurt you - yet.
I was thinking it might be easier to figure out
nm
LOL. Perhaps I should stick with MQ--easier to spell...sm
Thank you, me, for the info in your previous posts.
Faster, easier, and more reliable than Autocorrect.

Is there an easier way to find out if companies offshore?
I have worked for 3 companies that all offshored and were absolutely not forthcoming about it upfront. I never want to work for one again. Is there a list somewhere or am I banging my head on the wall. Again.
Dictaphone EXT or Chartscript-Which do you think is an easier platform.
I have worked on Dicatphone and thought that system was fairly easy to learn. How does Chartscript compare to that platform and production wise. thanks
as the poster below says, clinic work is not easier
I work for a large multispecialty clinic, general surgery - transcribe rotator cuff surgery, hernia or breast reconstruction; urology - transcribe the urinary system; orthopedic - joints and bones and muscles, ENT issues, cardiologisy and veins, arteries and valves, dermatology, neurology and nervous system.
MQ speech platform MUCH easier and MT friendly than TT's
Dictatphone Exspeech is just awful !!!! You will see, I guarantee you !!!
DQS is excellent editing platform.
Dermatology typically an easier or more difficult specialty? Thanks. nm
xxxxxxxx
That always makes it better. I do local to Houston and since I live there, it seems easier
nm
I do my daily or every couple days after my shift. Much easier (nm)

issues talk to lawyer. This is easier than starving?

I started out in radiology. It's so much easier than acute care.
Never figured out why they separate it from the rest since it's just another specialty. If you can do acute care, you can do radiology, so might as well give it a whirl! Gotta be better than Softscript.
Much easier and better process of doig this, as I worked at a hospital on ExText nm

IMO, it's just easier to be rude hiding behind the guise of a screen name. The hateful ones here
It's likely that the hostile MTs that constantly spew negative remarks are the same ones who are too passive to speak up for themselves in the real world. They are basically cowards that take crap all day then come here and anonymously take their pinned up frustrations out on everyone else.
I have seen this on many message boards, but for whatever reason, MT Stars is the absolute worst for this. Isolation must be a huge factor. Some of these gals just need to get out once in a while. JMO
Better be glad you got the easier dictators soon, because you're time is coming for the ^^^REAL^^
dictators! Be glad you got off now. I wondered where my better dictators went the last week or so !!!!! Lucky you !!!!!
I can always tell when the TT favorite MT's are off, because I get their dictators -- making it easier for me to get my line count. Yea !
TT is constantly hiring, so the above scenario is a norm.
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
