what's not to believe - I said that I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days AND DO NOT MAKE - sm
I DO NOT MAKE $100,000/YEAR
try READING the post.
$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.
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!
If that's $9.50 an hour, that would be just under 6.5 cpl at 150 lines an hour. nm
s
1800 lines is easily achieved. I average 300-340 lines per hour. nm

Yes it is possible to double your lines. I cant type 460 lines an hour but I can get those with VR
x
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?
100,000/year - no way. I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days - sm
AND I DO NOT CLEAR $100,000/YEAR.
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.
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?
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
How many lines per hour do you average?
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?
$35/hour x five 10-hour days = $1,750 gross/week.
x
Does OSi really require the 185 lines per hour that they ask for on their website? nm
x
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
x
Yeah, but 100 lines/hour isn't even transcribing, more
If you have a decent line count, say 250 lines/hour, and worked that same UNbelievable 12 hours a day at 9 cpl you'd be making $1350 a week. Plenty to live on.
That I get more lines per hour on Scribe than I did with DocQscribe...
nm
Most companies go by the number of lines per hour,
adjusted for full-listens, etc. To try to go by the number of reports is idiotic. There are too many variables for that.
Really? Most MTs I know make between $20-30 per hour.
x
I make $14 an hour as QA and looking
NM
Uh, you said you make 4 cpl, $20-something per hour.
At just $20 per hour, that's 4000 lines per day.
Also, many companies pay less than 4 cpl & many MTs are used to making more than $20/hr.... so even more lines. It's ridiculous.
even if you are only doing 1400 lines a day at 8 cents a line that is still $15 an hour...
How many jobs are you going to get outside of the home making $15 an hour, especially in this economy and most parts of the country? That is only 175 lines an hour and most nationals expect at least 150 an hour, so that is not that much of a push. If you do 200 lines an hour, or 1600 lines a day, look at the raise and that is $16 an hour. This is also only making 8 cents a line, which by the time you are making over 1300 lines a day you probably are getting some sort of incentive, at least a lot of companies you do, and that would push this number up even more.
I used to be a graphic designer for many years and to this day pay for a good designer is only $12 to $14 an hour and you have to commute to the job, so how is it not realistic to make this type of money. I do not see where your logic is and if you are making so bad then maybe it is time to re-look at your profession and find something that is more a fit to you and make the money you deserve. I just do not see how making a minimum of $14 an hour is so unrealistic. Geez.
Anyone gone from MQ to Webmedx? Care to comment? How many lines per hour? Thanks.
I know I can do 300-350 now, but who knows when you change.
Wow! This means 19 pages in 1 hour! One page has 40 lines.
This I will n e v e r , e v e r believe, only if I see it with my very own 2 blue eyes!
LOL !
oh dear I average 350 lines an hour straight
typing! If that's the average for VR, then that's terrible!! I cannot express how insane that sounds to me!!!
HOW MUCH ON AVERAGE DO YOU MAKE AN HOUR?
WHAT IS THEIR AVERAGE PPL, ETC.
Figure out how much you make per hour now and
.
I make much more than $17 an hour, more in the $30 range. sm
You sold yourself short. Did you pass their test?
Things that are good are sometimes worth waiting for. Why do you call it BS when you know nothing about the company other than you applied? Geesh. This must be Keystroke's week to be bashed. Who is next week?
I agree...I make anywhere between 25.00 and 28.00 an hour....
it is possible...but like the above poster said, you need to utilize Expanders and I have my own doctors also...no templates but having your own doctors helps...
I WISH I made $11.75/hour! Used to make more
This business makes no sense at all.
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.
How on earth do you make $35-$50 an hour?
Would you mind telling how many lines a day you type and how much cpl you get paid? I just don't see how anyone can type that much that fast. Wow! I'm in awe! Have any tips for us slow pokes with attention problems?
OK, all of you on VR who make $20 an hour, please post.
And please, not the same 1 person posting over and over again who is obviously MANAGEMENT. If you are truly making that much money doing VR, I would hate to see the quality of your work. Oh, wait, I probably already have. Looking up old reports, the quality I am seeing is... not that great, to put it mildly. Obvious, GLARING errors. VR: Good for MTSO. Not good for MT--or for PATIENT CARE, to put it mildly!
Not that many QA people are paid by the hour sm
I am on furlough from a job that paid me hourly to QA. I was paid $16 and hour and I can do almost double that with VR or with typing. I QA for other reasons.
At my FT job that I still have, the QA is paid 3.5 cpl to edit reports and VR is 4.5 cpl. Given what QA has to deal with, which are traditional reports with the worst dictators and numerous blanks, that is almost not enough. Our VR platform is good, not outstanding, good. I have reports where I hardly change a thing and I feel overpaid. One of our accounts has MTs who are not doing their VR properly and the VR on THAT account is a pain in the backside. My primary is excellent, however, and I got to 400 lph in the first couple of days I used it. About 10 days in, I did more like 500 an hour today.
VR is not for every MT. Typing the old-fashioned way is not for everyone either. Personally, I am glad that no one has offered me hourly to do VR because they would not pay me what I am already making...and it is early days yet. Paying QA hourly has lead to some pretty shoddy work and QA people who bilk the system, I know because I have seen it.
Your points are valid. I am wondering what VR system you are using and who you work for. I tried it on WordClient Extext about a year ago...AWFUL. I am on ExEditor now and it is a breeze. I have a friend who has done Escription for a few years and loves that platform. Now, both Escription and ExEditor learn corrections as they go along. The problem is that so many MTs don't know their stuff, have a slightly different style or, sadly, don't care about their work and they are not actually editing the work. That adds up to a mess for those who care about their work, know their stuff and are making an honest effort. My main account has the best our company has to offer in the way of MTs because the account is very picky. End result? Excellent and constantly improving VR script.
There are just so many variables with this, more than with traditional MT, even with ESLs figured in.
Oh and by the way, we have some terrible ESLs they put through VR and I love it! Slow boring dictators are easy with VR. Even the slurring, sloppy talkers are good. Add in that my hands hurt a lot less and I am less tired at the end of a day...well I am ecstatic.
