I average 300 lines an hour
but some days I do have to work over 8 hours to make it work because of things going on around the house, this will definitely disrupt things
AVERAGE LINES PER HOUR
Can anyone tell me what their average lines per hour are on speech recognition, such as escription or extext?
How many lines per hour do you average?
150-170 lines per hour is pretty average.
Imagine that times 40%. 150 x 40% increase using an Expander is another 60 lines paid per hour. At $.07 per line, it's the difference between $10.50 an hour at 150 lines or $14.70 an hour at 210 lines. Work smarter, not harder.
Been here 4 months and average 250 lines per hour, sometimes 300.nm

$20 an hour is not even average for radiology. You should not make less than $25-30 per hour. sm
I work for Keystrokes and have for 3 years. I average 25 reports an hour, which is $31.25 an hour. I have 401, health insurance, direct deposit, life insurance. My lead tells me I'm wonderful when I talk to her, but I do not need a daily pat on the back.
I also have a good friend who works for them on a clinic. She only makes 0.08 per line but does 300 lines an hour, which is $24 an hour, again higher than your $20.
I don't think we're selling ourselves short. There are companies out there that are good to work for, 6 or 8 of them that I know of personally. Don't settle for $20 an hour.
10 lines per minute = 1500 lines for 150 minutes - average. nm

I average 1200-1400 lines per day with a national, and am only getting around 600-800 lines per day.
It's been this way since the day before Thanksgiving. I've been doing this for almost 30 years now, and more often than from Thanksgiving until the new year is the slowest time of the year. I have some months where I am swamped with up to 2000 lines per day. I stash that little extra money, and take advantage of a handful of extremely slow days this time of the year to actually cook dinner, decorate for Christmas, or do Christmas shopping. I actually anticipate this slow time every year and have grown to enjoy the breathing time. Any time I have attempted to pick up extra work with another company to supplement these slow times, the minute I get adjusted to the new accounts, etc. I have no time to finish all of my work because my full time job with national gets slammed again. Hang in there if you can, and hopefully your work will pick up significantly around New Years.
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour

I usually average between $30-35 an hour at KS
Yes, it is possible. I have a great account.
I average around $30 an hour on VR.
I get 5 cpl. I had to work to get there but I make a little more on VR than I do with straight transcription now.
HOW MUCH ON AVERAGE DO YOU MAKE AN HOUR?
WHAT IS THEIR AVERAGE PPL, ETC.
I am rady only and average $35-40 an hour. nm

What's the average an IC makes an hour? sm
I also am in the process of trying to go IC as I am sick of working for pennies a line and all the crap MQ has been dishing out.
Also, what do you do if you want a day off, and who sets TAT, you or who you type for?
Thanks!! 
I make more than $28 an hour on average so
I am curious to hear about your union attempts but I will never join. I will be one of those taking up the jobs given up by those who attempt this.
You are entitled to spend your time, energy and money where you wish. I hope you don't come out of this attempt feeling defeated or hurt but I am afraid that will be the case.
So, for your sake I wish you well but I will not be a supporter of the union.
What about line counts? What do you average an hour?
x
Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR

The hospitals in my area pay 13.75 per hour. I type 250 LPH on average. sm
that means that I make $0.055 per line. Yes, I get to use their computer and get benefits, but if a service is offering benefits that are comparable with a better line rate, plenty of work and I get to stay out of the cold and ice every morning in winter and humidity and heat every morning in summer, put fewer miles on my car during these high gas price times, wear sweats and p.j.'s, the choice is easy.
Now I just need to find the right company.
I just wanted to post because I read the posts about benefits and pay and thought they actually sounded pretty good. Am I missing something? 
Keystrokes rads - how many reports do you average per hour?
Well if I could do 500 lines per hour, I would be making 35.00 an hour. sm
nothing to sneeze at. More than fair for having a 2-year degree. Come on people, we are all acting like we expect 6-digit incomes! Whatev!
Do you work a straight 8-hour schedule?
On a good day when there is a lot of work available, I can make about $120 in 5 hours. Plus that 5 hours is when 'I' want to do it throughout the day. On an average day, I make about the same amount of money in about 6 to 6-1/2 hours. Since I have been doing this job for so many years, my old body can't take sitting and typing for an extended period of time. I really don't know if I could handle working 8 hours a day anymore.
Average lines
Did they happen to mention the average lines the other MTs were getting?
Medware - how many lines average?
Can anyone who works for Medware tell me what your average line counts are? Can you get good line counts with them?
Thanks!!
What did your hourly lines average? sm
When you say you couldn't get your count up...how low was it, approximately? Must not have been worthwhile, huh?
Average of 1200 lines per day.
x
185 lines? The company I'm working for wants 250......what is the average???? Anyone???
Thanks!
How many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Doesn't matter where you work, how many lines do you average daily on eScription?
I average 1800-2000 lines a day on BeyondTXT.
nm
I usually average anywhere between 2500-3000 lines per shift
at KS.
11,000 per week editing lines, 5,500 straight typed.
Don't know how much it is for husband and kids. $70 a week for me and two kids.
If that's $9.50 an hour, that would be just under 6.5 cpl at 150 lines an hour. nm

How many lines do you do an hour?
I type 350-400 and edit about 325-375. What about you??
300 Lines An Hour
Very doubtful...What on earth account are you doing...There are several of us above and beyond experienced and familiar with DQS and no way can you produce that on a daily basis..Sorry Charley...Must be incognito staff..Rha Rha Rha
Wow ... 400+ lines per hour ... my hat's off to you :-) sm
If I sit and totally focus and make my fingers fly as fast as they can, I can do 400 lines in an hour ....... but just for that ONE hour. After that, it's a law of diminishing returns. I tried it one day ... 410 the first hour, 375 the next, then 310 ... and then it was nap time! (smile)
I have thought about getting into QA at least part-time. I have to do lots of stretching exercises and load up on Advil, or my tendinitis flares and then I can't do much of anything.
Thanks for validating what I said. I wasn't trying to brag or anything -- maybe I came off wrong. Maybe I should tell Dorothy I need a bonus for defending the company (smile).
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I do 300 to 450 lines/hour (sm)
on a very slow platform. Are you making full use of Instant Text and normals? Feel free to email me, as depending on your experience, I may be able to suggest a service or two. Sorry, mine isn't hiring.
I mean lines per hour not per day
////
Lines per hour-sm
Hi Ladies (& guys),
I could really use your help. For full time status (employee or IC, doesn't really matter) what is your minimum line quota? Just a short reply is all I need. My manager is looking for averages to give to her director. We're getting high numbers from an outside consulting firm (170-200 lph minimum for full time, 8 hour per day, 40 hour per week staff.)
Anonymous is okay, but known company info would be cool if you know what they require, regardless if you work for them or not. We're just looking for basic rates, i.e., how much do you have to type to keep your full-time status.
Thanks so much!
892 lines per hour is ANOTHER LIE .... sm
Your first lie was that you typed 130 words per minute. Nobody typing that fast would put up with VR.
Read all the posts. 50,000 Frenchman can't be wrong.
How many cpl/about how many lines per hour?
It's the 4 cpl and below for VR that I find it hard to believe anybody makes comparable pay to straight doing.
Doing a quick guesstimate, you would have to be doing close to 550 lph at 4 cpl to make what you did in the period of time you did today. Are you really doing that many lph, or (hopefully) just being paid more than 4 cpl?
So you edit more than 400 lines an hour?
I havent seen anyone else be able to do that on the new platform. What is your secret because I have tried and could only do 425 maximum on the best day with the best dictators on. Way too much work for that kind of money.
Yup, that is about right - sometimes 700-800 lines per hour, it all depends. nm

How many lines per hour should a seasoned MT
I know it depends on work types and such but I just need a generalized idea. This is my first time being paid by line. The job offers a good mix of exams. TIA
Does your QA staff do 500 lines plus an hour? Ask your
attorney what the law is to paying less than minimum wage. Just curious as to what he has to say
312 lines per hour, not 3100, and you can
x
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.
impossible? its 127 lines/hour.
nm
Something is wrong here: This would mean 28 lines per hour,
or is it
1100 per day?
you said 446 for half an hour of VR LINES SO... DUH....SM
I just did x2. I don't care if you typed after that, it still would be doubled for an hour. this is REALLY idiotic all right and I'm not wasting any more time on you. You already lost credibility by saying you type 130 wpm and would rather VR. Simply a lie miss L.
you type 250 to 350 lines per hour?
you type that fast?
Does OSi really require the 185 lines per hour that they ask for on their website? nm
