same lines as word document

In Reply to: DQS line count = dis-harMONEY - kc
The only thing you dont get paid for is the ADT screen, which takes me about 2 seconds to hit the search, date and cc. I really dont care about not getting paid for ADT because it doesn't take any time at all to do this. The document itself always comes out the same line count as word. I think the benefit for this program outweighs not getting paid for ADT at least for me. I also have 2 IC accounts on the side. Their programs are time consuming in figuring out codes, and then saving and sending it in a different format... plus dr. lists manual insert. Another thing on one account you have to email the person every time to get more work so it doesnt flow like DQS. So I think DQS is the most user friendly program I've used. When you copy and paste DQS to word its always been exactly the same lines for me and also the red headings you are paid for.

446 lines in 30 minutes? What does your document look like? Same as before your editing?..nm
nm
yes, but remember that Word counts blank lines, as well. nm

Keystrokers - do you work in Word - Can you use ShortHand - How many lines for fulltime? Thanks

Alt T then Alt W while in a document. sm
This gives you characters, including spaces; add together and divide by 65 for # of lines. I put this # on my log. I can then double check with session statistics at the end of the day if I want.
Glad you like it!
AB Document Services???
Does anybody have any info about this company out of Arizona????
P.S. Make sure you document everything.

AB Document Services?
Does anybody have any current information on this company that is in Arizona (work load, etc.)?
TIA!
If you're in a VR document, even if it's
so bad that you have to retype entire paragraphs, it's still considered VR -- if that's what you're asking. When people refer to switching between VR and straight typing, they are referring to entire reports, some of which you type from scratch and some of which you deal with what VR has vomited out. Good luck to you.
If I figured on the same document why would this matter?

Mine post soon as document is sent
The longest delay I've ever had was about 30 seconds.
Isn't it against the law for a company to ask you NOT to document your OT hours?
That alone would be a huge red flag for me. They want you to work OT, but not document it on your timesheet! That smells fishy!
doing only a 'spell check' on a VR document
without reading and correcting the whole document, line by line, will NEVER work!
Now I understand! That's the way the editing MTs do it when getting the high line count?
Wow!
On second thought, maybe I should try it out!!!
You are supposed to document discrepancies in a QA note...
of course, doing so will take you over your 15% max of QA referrals, but what the hey...
This isn't a medical document, editor. Focus. :)

It appears to do only the document you are in. As I trust my co. to tally for me, I don't know m
about the function. You might be able to write a macro to do that...but I have no idea how to do that.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
mine post immediately as soon as I end the document.

The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
Think they're Integrated Document Solutions. Someone asked about them last month. nm

Had to toggle between many screens, no support or qa to speak ofl they dock $10 per document
;p
small to medium company that works in Word or Word-based program - email me. nm
nm
ExText is integrated with Word. Auto correct is a part of Word.
ExText is a Word based platform. When the page opens for you to type the document it will be just like you are typing in MS Word.
anyone work for Oracle - do they use Word or a Word-based program - e-mail me nm

Just wanna work in Word - need company that works in WORD! nm
nm
Their program works with Word and does not change how Word functions. sm
You use your own expander. Overall I feel it is user friendly and I like it.
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
Does the Emdat platform use Word or is it Word-based? nm

Part & Full Time Data Entry & Document Coding Position - Sara McDaniel - HR Administrator
This company has ads on other web sites. You have to pay them $55 to do a background check up front. Guess what? If you don't get hired, they've got your $55. Don't know if it's legit - just posting facts.
Word for Word Medical Transcription
Pros and cons please.
In his ad, he's asking for Word Perfect, not Word, if that matters. nm

The platform is not Word, but it is Word-based. I
had little Word experience and the recruiter told me to try to find a book to learn the basics of Word as their program is Word-based.
Now I wish they would just call me back......no word no word and
What is up with these MT companies that advertise. They don't even answer. I have a great resume, tons of experience. I'm confused.
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

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.
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
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a

Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR

word for word company
does anyone know about word for word transcription company? how are they to work for, platform? thanks in advance!
I was told I could use word pad since I don't have word
I have 1 computer to speak of that I did not buy personally. the company has their own platform and their own computer to be rented. I would not be typing in word. I have never had a problem testing this way before. I am not saying certified is better. I was explaining my circumstance. I have my own personal computer ordered for my use and I wanted to test fast without waiting. geez.
Regular lines, not weighted lines
was what I got paid for....
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.
nm
0.8 x 1000 lines = $80.00 - 0.8 x 1500 lines = $120.
"overtime" is not a generic word. "incentive" is a generic word. Over time means time

It's not 1600 lines -- it's 16,000 lines...and
I've got my contract right here and have already gotten 2 checks and YES, I am getting 9.5 cpl base rate.
I don't know what other people are getting. Don't really care. I work for MY paycheck. Gosh.
Why would they "fix" lines? The more lines you
transcribe, the more you make, the more you make, the more you make. It wouldn't profit any company to put a lid on line counts.
In Word..
Select the tools menu and then Autocorrect. Then check the box next to capitalize First letter of sentences.
Are you using Word? sm
If you are using Microsoft Word you can change the background to something that suits your eyes and the text to a lighter color.
One word - RUN!!!!
Owner is not all there, if you know what I mean. There are better places to work. Let them hire overseas. Perhaps those workers will put up with their garbage treatment.
Everything is done in Word
plenty of samples though, and she pays per gross line, not 65 characters.
