10,500 to 11,000 consistently,
five 8-hour days.
But I dont' do that consistently, wish I did ! --normally do about 800 a day - sm
but Sundays I usually hit between 1000-1500 as I save my weekend work for that day and do it all at once. Fun.
Tom's wives have been consistently
10 years younger than the previous. Looks like he'll be scoping out the Middle Schools soon. LOL.
If you have a MT who is consistently making
the same mistakes after being given copies, corrections, etc., then it is time to refer all of this to her supervisor.
Well, at least it will consistently come close!
If an MT is so concerned that she is being cheated out of money, she needs to be proactive and figure out how to verify line counts. I either use Word or an old version of MPCount that I downloaded off the Internet for free. It was my experience that nearly every company I ever worked for was right on or even paid a bit more than my line counts indicated. (Except for ONE company and we all know which one that is!)
12,000 lines per week for me - consistently. nm

Probably because I'm an MT and I don't like to see consistently misspelled words.
Perhaps they don't bother you. I pity your employers.
What agency can help me with a co. who consistently underpays me....sm
then says they will have to make it up on the next paycheck. This has gone on for over a year now, with so few checks correct that it just boggles my mind. I just want to know who I can contact to make this company pay me correctly. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
So you consistently do 520 lines an hour??

I have consistently made in the upper $40s to mid $50s in this business.
I have not been chained to the computer. I have even worked just 3 days a week to make that. Long days, mind you, but still only 3 days a week.
I have a talent and great aptitude for this work. I also am fiercely protective of my work time/environment. I work very hard while I'm working. Thus, I do not have to work more than 40 hours a week.
Sit in disbelief all you want. Just remember, you are the one not making the money while many of us are.
it's spelled right. Exo means outside and you know what phrenic means. nm

Only a person who consistently leaves blanks because they are lazy should be docked.
Or maybe they should just be fired. The first place I ever worked docked us for errors that we should not have made. I was only docked a couple of times, and it was only a small amount, but it made me pay attention and be more careful, and I think it made be a better MT.
An addendum, minor corrections are one thing - being a slob dictator who consistently cannot put his

Have a hospital I work for and they consistently change work types and do line counts. (sm)
Management just doesn't understand in order to crank out the work you need to be proficient by typing the same accounts. Go figure, they just don't get it ??
I think what she means is....
Kent State had a lot of conflict when Nixon declared war and the students were rioting. They were vandalizing and burning property, fighting. They called in guardsmen. The guardsmen threw tear gas canisters into the crowd to disperse them and the crowd starting throwing them back. The guardsmen started shooting into the crowd. People are still not sure why they started shooting. I think nine people were shot, 2 died or something like that.
Anway, I see the point though. Things happen at college, does that mean you shouldnt send your kids? And if you do, are you a bad parent and deserve to be judged?
What about the parents that send their kids to school the day of the Columbine High School shooting. I guess they deserved it because they were there?
Please tell me what this means...
I have been trying to figure out for the last five days since I started frequenting this site...but what in the world does it mean when people put things like nm and sm in their posts? This is driving me NUTS!!
Not sure what that means. Can you
tell me what ME in the letter from MQ mean? Thanks.
What she means is (sm)
that DocQScribe does not count the characters that you input into the demographics screen, even if you have to do it all with nothing imported. This means that characters MTs previously were paid for -- patient name, dates of service, referring physicians' names, courtesy copy names/addresses, are not compensated. If you do a lot of little reports, that will mean a HUGE decrease in line count, whereas the impact won't be so bad if you do mostly long consults. Unfortunately most companies seem to be going this way, even the very nice company I'm working for now which has me hunting through blurred PDFs of faxes to find the patient information (I'm hanging in there because it's a new account and they say they'll have the demographics imported). At MQ and DSG DQS paid for spaces; I've heard that Accuscribe does not. The "red headers" are paid for. As you say, it's simple to check your line counts using Word or MedPen's counting program.
As lovely a platform as DQS is, the overall opinion seems to be that line counts drop dramatically when using it. I don't know if that's really always true since the second day I worked for DSG I did 1500 lines, but I know that I had to leave MQ after DQS as I never was able to make the money I felt I needed. There are still a few good companies out there, but you have to really search them out.
You know what I think this means? sm
The letter says pay rates are based upon experience, skill, and work difficulty.
This leads me to believe, in conjunction with what you are saying, that our rates will be based on the above criteria. Each MT has probably been evaluated and given some rating score or something that will determine each of our "specialized new" base pay.
What I'm anxious about is the fact SE is not mentioned. I have a feeling (JUST a feeling -- since employee was the only word used) they are doing away with SE. If so, no more quarterly bonus and the IRS perks that go along with SE status. That will make me VERY sad.
does anyone know what this means...sm
When I try to log on to DQS, I get a message that states that my user profile failed to download...anyone know anything about this?
Of course, I work for MQ, and hate to call them, cause it takes forever to get an answer to a simple question, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it!
BTW, I have already logged out and in like a thousand times, plus restarted my computer, so that's not the problem. TIA!
it means
turn around time
sm means
that's not what it means
it means that six times he performed a heterosexual act that resulted in conception, but that doesn't make him a heterosexual.
You can love Ford but still drive a Buick on occasion.
DVI- please tell me what this means
It may be the stupidest question but what does DVI mean and that I need to have a DVT-supported footpedal? Does anyone know where I can get one and how much it may cost?
Thanks!
It means don't believe everything
you read. A bunch of overpaid suits never transcribed a day in their life. Also they put out propaganda trying to make more money by lying.
What this means
I am required to quote my charges for contract job and they ask me to
Breakdown cost by telephone call-in to a center or audio files being sent to you.
Any one knows about it?
By all means.............sm
That would be GREAT!!! *grins* 
Contact me whenever regarding this....oh, except when I'm in VEGAS in the autumn. *winks*
What it means is this
There are a few posters on this site that are really negative, think they know everything, and post nasty rude responses to other people's postings. Some of us call them "trolls" and sometimes we get caught up in trying to make them see how rude they are by posting back. It never works though, and we call that feeding the trolls, or keeping an argument going that does not lead to anything good. I guess we should try to ignore their rudeness, but it is hard sometimes. How's that? Did I explain it okay?
I think she means sm
TIA as in thanks in advance.
I think she means...
 Oops.....new here.....lol!
do you know what EMR means?
It means your medical record is all electronic. She does not need to look for another job.
n/m means
8
NM means no more and SM means some more
x
no that means that they pay 9 cpl and sm
a line is 65 characters not just a line no matter how short. "Gross lines" are when you get paid for a line no matter how short.
You are not an MT I take it? Not in this country either????
Not sure what it means
but mine says 1:17???
I think that's what the poster means.
If they can't report everything why is it that missing middle or upper class white females get much more attention and help than missing [insert race here] females who come from a family with very little money. Look at the case of Laci Peterson and the attention it got compared to an exact same case of Evelyn Hernandez and her 5-year-old son. She was a pregnant woman with very little money in her third trimester carrying a baby boy, who was reported missing just months before Laci. Her body was found in the same bay yet there was barely any attention at all given to that case. The case was never solved and in fact her son is still missing to this day and we still don't even hear much about it. I agree with the OP. Publicity helps in getting support and if the major news networks can report every single night for months and months on one case, why can't they report some of those nights on other cases? 
Being in day care is better if it means
they get eat, have clothes to wear and have a place to live. Yeah, they need mama, but they also need those other things, too.
it means to "trick out" a car (sm)
are you referring to the show? If so, it means they get a hunk of junk car and turn it into a show car, if you will. They usually put all kinds of electronics in it, like TVs, videogames, stereos, etc. Actually, a lot of silliness that is just a waste of money, BUT...that's what TV is all about, right? I hope this helps! 
I'm not a prude by any means,
do those KY "personal lubricant/warming massage-stuff" commercials turn your stomach, too? I don't know what it is about those particular commercials, I just find them particularly...um...gross!  Am I alone here?
Let's see now...it means stick it...
hmmm...stick it....gosh! I haven't been in banking for a while, so I'll have to get back to you on that. 
NM means no message. SM means see message:)
nm
Oh, well, by all means if it is HERE then it is the TRUTH.
If you don't like the cut back, either opt out or leave.
In MT world I believe it means whenever they need you
at least that's how my local hospital advertised. You were more or less on call each week, with no set schedule. The job paid well, but no benefits and no set hours.
I think it means it's a hot topic -
been viewed a lot of times.
Nothing sinister. It just means
that a lot of people have viewed that particular posting. Not sure what number of views it is that triggers the flame icon. Some subject titles draw a lot of attention, so a lot of people click on it to see what it's about. That's all the flame means. It's nothing to worry about.
(continued) within their means!
If your house is being foreclosed upon because of your MT work (and not because of a job loss for hubby or some other reason), it was likely more home than you could afford in the first place! I don't feel bad for people who live beyond their means.
Maybe just means not rigid? (nm)

This means, incidentally, that while you are
working hard to get production, your computer is working hard in the background for the benefit of these spammers and advertisers.
Isn't it nice you spend your money and time and effort and anti-viral software and firewalls, all for something that would be COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE if you, the hardware and software purchaser and owner, had control of the situation. But Microsoft thinks it needs to think for everybody. We need a Revolution to get away from Microsoft :)
I'm Scorpio, don't know what that means though. nm
