But this is not your typical dictation

I usually do 30 minutes in 45 minutes to an hour also but this is something completely different and it almost gets to the point you pull your hair out when you cannot hear what they are saying during this meeting or several talk at once, etc. So you cannot use this rule of thumb -- believe me I have been there many times.
Again I would guess between 8 to 12 hours and feel good if you get it done in 8.

Not at all typical!

Typical....
Your bad behavior has to be tolerated and the heck with everybody else. Another example of bad manners.
That's typical VR
I promise this was an actual sentence. The doctor dictated, "This is Dr. Wilson Period." Of course, we know that should be plugged into the demographics screen.
What VR transcribed was, "This is Dr. Wilson Perianal."
LOL. Yeah, one day it will be perfect. That's funny!!!
I don't have a typical day, one day I can do 2500
lines in about 12 hours and another day I'm lucky to get 1000 in 8 hours. I have an expander, have a few templates but don't get those dictators on a regular basis. I do NOT have to enter any demographic information or look up addresses, etc. I work in batches, don't have to save each report separately. I have enough experience that I rarely have to work up anything, but also will spend 30 minutes searching for something rather than leave a blank.
I get up frequently. I try to apply myself for at least a good hour or more and then take a short break. My feet swell really bad and I'm getting butt spread so I try to get up and move around. I never thought I was a particularly fast typist, but did the time clock thing and found that I was averaging 270+ lines/hour. Some days I work 6 hours/day, some days 8 to 10. I may have a superduper day where I make 3000 lines/day, but the next day I only do 1000, because I just can't routinely do 3000 lines/day and have a life.
The thing that has helped me most is limiting my time on-line and having my e-mail so that I can't see/hear when a new one comes up so I don't stop typing and check e-mail.
I routinely do 85+% ESL, but maybe once a month get a day where I have lots of normals and that spoils you.
Typical media; what do they know.

Yep, but that's typical for a national.

QA typical per line pay
I am thinking about changing over to QA but am wondering what the pay per line normally starts out at. Can anyone give me some help.
Sounds like a typical guy..)) n/m

I do not think that 8 hour a day supervisor is typical at all.

Typical welfare mentality, just sit with
your hand out and do nothing to help yourself. Let the taxpayers take care of you. Never take any responsibility for your own welfare or the welfare of your family, just collect the welfare bounty that everyone else pays taxes to provide. Why shouldn't people be prepared?
Typical care about no one else mentality
Typical me..me..me, dont care about the rest of the people, lock me and my family await in a gated community and who cares about anyone else mentality. God help you if you are ever the victim of a disaster and did not have the time or money to buy supplies. I sure hope every one around you has your attitude and you feel the pain of hunger and thirst..Hello, America, where are you?
Dottie, maybe you could take a typical page of
how much you're currently making per page on cpl basis. If it's more than $2.50, you'll lose money working for the insurance company.
A $300+ bill is typical for us in Arizona. sm
We use the payment plan so our bill is the same every month. They average all 12 months and come up with a month payment. Our winter bills usually would be as low as $70 if we weren't on the payment plan.
Can't live here without AC - no way, no how.
What are the typical hours for 1st, 2nd, 3rd shifts ... sm
or are they different with every company? What is the difference in pay for 2nd and 3rd shifts? TIA
Not typical, but does happen. Move on to

What is a typical rate for QA per line?

If that is your typical attitude, well...I think we all understand now.
Wishing you peace and the very best of luck.
Interesting and typical. Accept responsibility for nothing
He's a loser
You are a hypocrit. You attack me for my position and then say you have a right to yours. Typical.
I did not attack anyone, just stated an opinion. You have been up and down this thread attacking every single person for posting something you don't like. Talk about pot-kettle-black. LOL!!! Well, my last post to you. You are seriously cyberderanged. 
No, it is not typical. Please search for a company that respects you more than that. nm

Hahah..typical male answer to me..
I had a doc dictate once that his patient was annoyed because when he had gone to the pharmacy to pick up his RX (which he didn't know was going to be called in) it was for Flagyl and not some free Vicodin, and that he wasn't going to take the Flagyl because he wasn't supposed to drink beer with it.
Typical liberal, start with the name-calling when you have nothing else
So typical, "Don't do as I do, do as I say".
Failure, uneducated, jealous, resentful, TYPICAL.
What's typical for your email addr. w/nationals? sm
Help! need info. Would like responses from multiple people please.
Just started a new job last week. Everyone I get mail from, supervisors, tech, mgmt, etc. have a So&so@OurCompany.com type email. (I'm not saying what company), but they are having me use my personal email.
Can't help wondering if I have been singled out for some reason. I feel totally excluded.
Also, even email that is obviously addressed to a large group has only my name/email in the To: box. This seems very strange. Why would it be top secret what group/s it is to, i.e., "All MT's, Hospital XYZ group, etc.
It seems as if I'm only getting email as a blind copy from everyone. How can I figure out whether all the other MTs have So&so@OurCompany.com addresses assigned & some higher up just hates me for some reason, or whether all MTs do not get a company-assigned email address?  
That's a typical hourly rate for remote
I personally wouldn't drive that far for it.
As long as it's typical stuff, you can't go wrong. nm

what is a typical QA hourly wage for experienced QA
wondering what a median QA hourly wage for an experienced QA
That was so typical of all AHDI's double-talk.
Especially that first one by Pati H. The first couple sentences hardly made sense. And her answer certainly did dance around the point of the question, didn't it?
That just shows ta go ya.... if you want REAL answers about the MT field, the LAST people anyone wants to be asking is AHDI. Someone should let 'Advance' in on that little secret.
Typical bleeding heart everybody is a victim mentality, except of course...
those who are smart enough to not get pregnant at 14, finish school, work hard, and pay for and provide for themselves. Then they are villified by YOU for not wanting to just give it all away to those who have NOT made good choices for themselves in this infinite land of opportunity that we live in, the same country where people around the world are knocking on the doors to get into, and HAVE come here and taken advantage of the opportunity here. Opportunity doesn't mean it's handed to you. Sick, young, old, down on luck, or having a rough spell is one thing, but a lifetime of mooching is something else. There IS a difference. But that shades of gray world you live in doesn't allow you to see with any clarity.

Typical hateful liberal. Taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune.
You're a real piece of work.
Yep, sour grapes is right. Typical attitude of people who are angry with life.

This IS the typical trash situation that exists now for us at-home MTs. I'm thinking of leaving,

Typical politician, Yada yada yada but no plan,
dfas
It's THEIR dictation. They want what THEY are
dictating. If they use poor grammar, etc., that's not the MT's fault!!
Many don't trust the MT to make appropriate corrections and I can certainly understand that.
dictation by doc's
you're absolute right about the hospitals doing something about how doctors dictate and it probably wouldn't take that much effort to do it, but they're not going to do it. If the dictation is wrong, the MT will get the blame regardless.
low dictation
This is several hours of time just disappearing.
? min. of dictation per day
What is considered the average amount of minutes for 7.5 hour day. I'm thinking 45 to 60 minutes???
PA dictation
You must be lucky! Our group had two PA's and they literally "outdid" each other to see who could dictate the fastest. I got used to them, of course, listening to them all the time but many times had to stop and look up a med to be sure of the dosage because I couldn't tell if they were dictating 5 mg. 50 mg. or whatever! They seem to have an "attitude" too; we had one female one who really thought she was hot stuff. If they were that good, why didn't they spend the extra time and $$ to go to med school???
RE; Dictation
Kept forever. Chart is microfilmed and kept. Regular transcription is kept for 10 years supposedly at hospital I worked for.
I just had a dictation where
he stopped dictating mid sentence in the chief complaint and I Iistened to silence for about seven minutes (maybe he fell asleep, I dunno) and then he says, "hello? hello?" and hangs up!  Gotta luv this job! 
60 min of dictation
How long should it take someone to do about 60 minutes of dictation on average.
Thanks you.
60 min of dictation?
My own personal average is about 1 hour for each 15 minutes of dictation.
Can't help with the dictation but...
 LOVE YA!
Hope that helped.
Dictation
The problem is that MTs are rarely in the workplace any longer. When I originally started in transcription years ago, we were in-house and accessible to the doctors. I would tell the the speeders to slow down. We had one ER doc who loved to look through reference books for words to use. I would tell him nicely, "If you have to look it up, spell it and save both of us the hassle." That usually worked. But now, most of the time, they have no idea who is transcribing their work and as long as it gets done, that's all they care about.
Ever think that maybe 15% is going to QA because of LOUSY DICTATION? nm
x
You never listened to the dictation to know.
No, decent dictators can form complete sentences. They don't erase every single word interlaced with ah, um, er, then sit there so long that a 15 minute dictation only has 43 lines. If a person can't complain about having a bad day to her fellow MTs without getting jumped on, what does that say about your personality? The only B**** I see here is YOU.
Same here. Give me the dictation, I do it - sm
I return the reports, give me the money. End of story.
Worrying about a friendly supervisor is pointless. Just do the work and take the money.
80-100 minutes of dictation
Can anyone tell me approximately how long 80-100 minutes of dictation takes to do with variables I know of a good or bad dictator but on average. A 60 minute microcassette tape on both sides of 120 minutes, is that something to compare this to? Thank you.
235 seconds of dictation...sm
and less than 20 lines!!!!  And he ends the dictation at 200 seconds, then proceeds to shuffle papers and say "end dictation" 50 times...come on already, END THE DICTATION! No respect! 
re:243 seconds of dictation
I actually have a picture of my cat laying on my Dorland's sound asleep...he was looking for the definition of "uhmm"
Bad quality dictation
What in heavens name do you do after starting work with a company and the dictation is so lousy qualitywise with static and the voice fading in and out. Is this normal? Left lines in every report. ??? Help?
