What in the world is your line rate? Do you get incentive?

2800 lines a day
may I ask how long it took you to do those lines and what type of reports do you do and how many accounts?
2800 lines a day???? How in the heck
Or, are you just wishing that you type 2800 lines a day (LOL). Not being sarcastic, just laugh with me. I would love to do 2800 lines a day, in 8 hours or less.
Oh yeah, I did 2800 lines last Thurs and I had 10,500 for week to my usual 8K sheesh I'm a

Geez, you people make it sound like
"my family" has a bunch of incestuous perverts running around. Give it a break! My kids never even started it, the other kids at school did. ALL boys think it's funny to overexaggerate when they get hit in the privates. It's not like they're walking around playing doctor or anything. It's the rolling around on the ground, Oh! my privates! that they think is funny. As if your sons, brothers, or whoever is going to tell you about it anyway. You're overthinking it and turning it into something it's not. I did say I do not tolerate it or find it funny. I am a darn good parent and I don't trash talk my kids' teachers either. I've never pulled them out of classes or switched schools. So please, spare ME the lectures and get out of your little glass houses.
I can make these lines and my QA is very high
otherwise I would not have a job but and underline that, it also depends on your platform. I in the past always got over 2000 lines straight typing at 2 different hospitals. When outsourced took another job and my count was about 1200-1300 per day. I had NEVER done so little, never. I got back with my old job where I do both VR and straight and I do high but the QA has to be high is expected to be 98 and if below, there is a problem.
2800+
Love DQS!!!!! Did over 2850 lines the other day....normal about 2500-2600. It CAN be done if you take away all interruptions and concentrate!
2800+
that's my experience as well. been with MQ for 3 years now and I'm SE. One month I managed to get 10,000 lines in both pay periods, but I was working from the minute that I got up until I went to bed - probably worked 120 hours in a pay period and I was just totally exhausted and I've never done it again.
Ours is about 2800/mo.
Me, too. Can't make money if you can't put lines on the page. nm

Their pay is way low and you work like a dog to make minimum lines.

Much easier to make lines, but the pay sucks

When it comes to gross lines, font does make--sm
a difference, as well as the margins. I was doing gross lines at 0.675 cpl with courier new 12 font with 1 inch margins side to side and 2 inches at the top. I grossed almost 50k this past year, so to me, gross lines are much better. we recently had a management change and are now doing 65 cpl at 0.09 cpl. I figured that would be about 500 a month less and 6000 a year less. that is a big difference, to me, anyway and I am not happy about it, either. This is just to give you some idea of what gross line pay is like. good luck to you.
Wow! I do 1600 lines daily and make only 9.5 cpl as employee-
SE is that without benefits.
What MQ office do you work for? Are they hiring.
So glad I didn't bust my a^^ to make the 10,000 lines!!!!!!!!!
their employees ANYTHING?
MQ acts like we are the ENEMY instead of the people that generate the
junk for their ungawdly profits.
Does anyone have to use size 10 font? Does it take you longer to make your lines? nm

When all else fails, and you've gotta make those lines,
Let's face it. We ALL do it.
Read between the lines. When a company starts saying work more to make more
and you have to work in assembly-line fashion like an automaton, they are having a cash crunch. They held out one salary to you to get you to do the job, then they turn around and cut your pay because you make too much. They don't sound financially stable. If you've only been on the job 2 months, start looking elsewhere for a more financially stable company. Send out your resume and see what other companies have to offer and check out references for those companies. I and a friend in the past have gone part-time with a new company before resigning from the old one in order to make sure the new company is going to be compatible with us. It's hard to do, but it's short-term for only 1 or 2 weeks.
Is ExText user friendly? Can you make good lines?
I will be using a foot pedal - ? Transnet.
I'm using Meditech Magic now and I can't imagine anything being worse.
Is the em dat (?) program user friendly - can you make lines - complicated to learn?nm

We had similar at our hospital but there were 2800 employees SM
so they did drawings. The party was given for us by the doctors, and paid for out of their pockets.
Great food, a lot of fun.
But the best was our department Christmas party - pot luck, Director playing Santa and we drew names. Some of my fondest memories.
I have 17 years acute care experience and don't make 1200 lines in 6 hours. sm
I work for a company that is VERY picky about their work, 100% QA everything. I have been with them over a year, and have to go back and listen to my work a second time while proofing. I only make 160-170 lines an hour, but the pay is good for that, and I have learned so much in the year that I can go to work anywhere without problems. For me it is worth the extra time to put in the few extra hours a week to have really top QA. There is room for all types in this business, the really fast ones, and the slower ones who work differently, you just have to find your place. Ideally, we should all type 200 lines an hour and have 99%+ QA, but I don't thank too many of us make it. Good luck to you.
what size package do you have? i have basic and i couldn't make good lines due to speed. nm

7 cpl gross and counts blank lines, IC status-- make a ton of money because it's easy work...nm
x
Aaahhhh, now I get it. Gross lines vs. Character lines. I guess I've just been conditioned to
think in terms of character lines. One of the perils of working as an IC for somebody who defines what a line is versus owning your own company and defining it yourself. After working for someone else for 15 years, maybe it's time to bust out on my own.
That is a lot of work/lines for 2 people. I do 3000 lines per day sm
if you times that by 30 days that only comes to 90K lines a month, that is working 7 days a week including weekends. I don't think 2 people can handle that.
900 lines is below 1100 lines, where the bonus starts.

Ah geez (sm)
Well, that's what I get for trying to insert my own images  Just use your imagination. *sigh*
Geez
By saying it was the way they talk I meant with an accent on the word as not all doctors say it that way. I was just trying to help and gave more information than some and do not appreciate the way people are sometimes treated on here.
to oh geez
Here here sister!!!!
Geez, the pay keeps going down. SM
Just saw an ad on the MT Jobs board for an experienced Transcriptionist (of course, they want the best) and the pay is 8 cpl for a 75 character line. What's with these companies?
geez
get a life. don't you have some work to do, or something?
Um, geez
I authored the message you responded to, and nowhere did I mention a personal preference for healthcare in Canada, or any other country for that matter. Yes, I posted a list from WHO that ranks healthcare among participating countries. Yes, Canada is on that list, but was the furthest thing from my mind when I copied and pasted that list into my post. Honestly, I don't find 30th place to be notably better than 37th place.
That said, I would love to visit Canada some day, but for healthcare I would seriously consider France (if it were an option for me, which it is not . . . nor is it necessary at this stage of the game).
Now, I have a question for you . . . How would you like to die, or even JUST suffer in pain, on the floor of the ER floor while a janitor mops around you (saw the video of that with my own eyes) and while two people have to call 911 in a futile attempt to save your life because nobody in the ER will care for you?
Oh geez, she's at it again.
GEEZ
what the heck is wrong with you? If she is an IC she is not cheating or scamming. And even if she is an employee, how would that be scamming and cheating. Did she says she is falsifying records? You have absolutely no information to base these accusations on. Man, talk about jumping to conclusions! 
OH GEEZ
lEgitimate oh so sorry. Please, please, review all my other posts. God knows I should not err.
The problem with these boards is that someone wants to discuss something and someone else just wants to nitpick.
Geez, here we go! nm

oh geez....
We had a doc that when he said right colectomy, it sounded just like rectalectomy. If I was daydreaming I would transcribe rectalectomy but would always catch myself...except for once. I got his DS when he dictated it and he said "procedures done....rectalectomy...what the heck is that?" I knew I had made the mistake. To my knowledge, he never sent it back because I never heard about it. He must have just written through it. I could have just died!!
geez
Haaaaaa. Just awful. I had one where VR picked up: The patient's blood pressure is at SCHOOL today.
Should have been: The patient's blood pressure is at GOAL today.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I meant the other way around! GEEZ
geez, you seem so hostile!
Geez, sounds like just about everyone I know!
Oh, geez! Too funny!
My house has a shortage of coffee filters all the time, so I never use those. I like that Homestyle microwave popcorn made with real butter, but my fingers get so greasy that I have to keep a wet washcloth on the desk to wipe it off between typing. I'm going to have to try your idea, though.
geez louise
If you're doing all that and with two jobs, I have a couple questions for you. How the heck do you do it? Whats your secret? Do you get hand and arm pain whatsover??? You're doing a lot of lines. How do you do it?
Geez, I'm sorry this offends you. I have,
Too bad I can't give you one for a shrink...sounds like you need it.
Geez, I fit the experience she needs, but
she sounds too demanding and high maintenance. Evenings and weekends, no thanks!!! I want this, I don't have time for that, no phone calls, need ASAP. No MT experience required and no offer of line rate.
Geez, come on. I saw all of the OSi posts,
Yes, somebody is sticking up for OSi all over the place. However, I don't know what is so "transparent." Somebody asked a question directly related to Smartype. I use Smartype and I work for OSi, and my Smartype works fine in Extext. For what it's worth, I post here on these boards about 5 times a week, sometimes on the word board, sometimes on the company board. I check in when I'm eating lunch or taking a break. I don't waste my time reading and posting all day long. I just get tired of never even being able to answer someone's question. What's with that?
Geez, RAD GUY, got my hopes up there - sm
thought is something new on the market to replace Viagra!!!
Geez!! Take a note of the pay.

Isn't being a medical Transcriptionist being an interpreter. Seems like our pay ought to be commensurate, don't you think?
Absolutely not, never. Geez. nm
.
They pay $20,000? Geez...that would tempt me!
Yeah, I think it is funny how they will pair one very conservative family with a very liberal family, or a hunter with a strictly veggie family. People would not want to watch as much if it went all smooth, human nature.
What did the other family think about how they were portrayed, or did you even have the chance to find out?
geez, do you have a family?
How bout kids? Spouse? I don't think your *work ethic is above* most peoples, just seems that maybe you don't have a life...might want to try one before it's too late!
