I'd rather NOT have to pay $1.50 an hour to work, but it could be worse.

At 200 lines a day for 6 cents, you are making $1.20 a day or 0.15 hour for an 8 hour day!!!--cm
Did you mean 2,000? Even then you would only be making $1.50 if you work 8 hours a day.
My gosh!! How is it that you are making less than $10/hour - sm
are you new?? Who are you working for? Do you use expanders???
at 9 cents per minute -- buy on E-bay
I have 4 docs that do an average of 2 to 2.5 hours per week each on tapes sometimes more, sometimes less but lets average 8 hours per week. That is $43.20 per week I pay you. My psychologist does 3 to 4 hours in addition to this. So there is another $20+. I just bought hand held Olympus recorder on E-Bay for $31.50 and even full price at Amazon was under $100. So one month of paying you would pay for my 4 hand helds. I have thought about this but just cannot afford the $150 to $200 it would cost me per month. And yes, I have had very good luck with buying on E-bay for transcribers, recorders, etc. So look on there or do a Google for digital recorders by brand, Olympus, etc. and it shows you which store has them for which amount. The bells and whistles are nice but a basic recorder that holds 2 to 4 hours of dictation is well below $100 and that is all you need to provide them with. Good luck. Just setting up an FTP and so don't have much info on that yet but searching it out. Patti
No trick, and you will be cut off and they will make you pay up to 21 cents per minute retroactive
If you aren't physically talking with another human being, they consider you in violation of the agreement and they will come after you. It happened to me.

lines per minute/hour?
I'm typing approximately 250 lines an hour of transcription. I'm not sure about dictation though. I am curious how much the going rate for a Transcriptionist by the line is these days. If anybody could help with this info, please do so!
USATasp charges 10 cents per minute for voice & 1/2 cent per line

Lines an hour to words a minute
Hello!
Does anyone know how to calculate words per minute from lines per hour? I'm curious to know how many words per minute I'm actually typing (even though it is with a word expander). Currently, I'm only averaging 140 lines per hour--is that good?
Would appreciate your help!
I do not know about words per minute, but lines per hour. And everything depends on the dictator.

sorry...$28 per hour at 8 cents per line
nm
Even if you only made 6 cents a line, that's 12.00 an hour at 200 lph.
c
$25.00 per hour is more like it. I work now at per report and 14.5 cents per line
and average $30-42.00 per hour
make $20 an hour plus 4 cents gross line
nm
Paid by the minute... new to me... does $1.14/minute sound reasonable?
x
12 cents. I'd love to make 12 cents. sm
a line as an employee. 17 years acute care experiencing doing all work types and I only make 9 cpl plus incentives.
Depends on the pay and account. My lowest average is $15.52 an hour (roughly 182.6 lines an hour) w
;'
1850 lines per 8 hour shift. 15.00 hour - no real requirement
x
if it is feasable, split that 6-hour shift into two 3-hour shifts. sm
i work a split shift and find that i am much better able to stay focused and get more work done that way. also, being 3 months pregnant you have gone through the very tiring time of pregnancy and you should start seeing an energy perk before long.
I start an hour or 2 early and then take an hour or 2 for dinner -nm
x
$32/hour? You said $36/hour on an earlier post. Either way would be great. n/m

8 cents versus 9 cents
Wait a minute....9/55 is to 8/65....would not 9/55 be significantly higher pay than 8/64 (spaces are not counted in either case)?
8 cents a line. Should be 10 cents for over 10 yrs exp but
b
10 reports/hour or 25 markers/hour

OH MY GOSH!! sm
Unbelievable! See what I mean about my experience versus your experience? TransTech absolutely has the most knowledgeable and nicest techs I've ever worked with and believe me, I've worked with A LOT.
Gosh, is this about you? nm
~~
Oh gosh! May I ask.....
how you found that info out? I hit their web site and it made no mention of anything off shore related....... ID like to know how to find that stuff out on my own!
Gosh - thank you all so much! (sm)
I am very grateful to those who took the time to graciously answer my question. I am now armed with information and dangerous! Won't be getting this particular office to jump on board in the near future, though. I just found out that they don't even have access to the internet. Thanks again! Loo
OH MY GOSH!
I sure hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!!! Make sure you can send it back if you are not 100% delighted!
Let me know how it goes.
oh my gosh, I had one just the other
day. It was a consult and was 98 minutes long, yes 98 minutes. Well after typing for 3 minutes I was "put on hold" and got to listen to crappy music. I did short forwards for a bit and then just went to the end of the 98 minutes and did a few backwards and, sure enough, it was all music; 3 minutes of typing and 95 minutes of crappy music!!
Oh my gosh ne!
I was just reading your thread about the C-phone and lost dictation and saw what you went through 2 years ago. I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry. I'm glad that you and your sons are okay. I can't imagine going through what you are.
Although I know nothing about C-phone, work gets lost all the time and work can be reassigned, I'm sure. Please don't be so hard on yourself. Hang in there.
OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU
I really needed to hear that today. My job is so low paying and so thankless and I am very conscientious so even to get a thank you from a stranger is touching me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Oh my Gosh!!!

Oh my gosh, its not just me!! I used to
love to stop by MT chat about once a week, to browse all the great and informative posts, knowing I would never see the trolling and ego bashing that runs prevalent here. I was SHOCKED to see just a few old timers over there now, just about blocking every poster who dared ask a question or make a comment. Smashed!! I don't know where the usual mods are, but its very obvious and I am avoiding that place now like the plaque. Always expected more class and better behavior over there. Guess I have to pay for mT daily? So sad.
Oh my gosh; we get it already.
Oh my gosh...THANKS!!!
Gosh...I have so many...
But here are a few that really bug me most of all:
"...contemporaneously read by me..."
"Subsequently however."
"Otherwise again as well the patient had XYZ as well."
Let me not forget these beauties:
"has got"
"has also"
"was subsequently was"
"primarily secondary"
I guess if your doc can start every sentence with "at this moment" then I should let mine say "at this point here in the emergency room upon arrival..." lol
Oh my gosh, yes!!!!
Back in 1981 when I graduated from high school I went to the local technical school (now community college) and went to secretarial school. Yes, they called us secretaries then. When I graduated the program I got hired by the school in their word processing lab. They had a word processing program that taught the different WP machines then - Wang, Dictaphone, Lanier, Radion. Some of them had the big floppies, and those were the bomb. The Radion still used the old tapes. We got one of the new IBM word processing machines - can't remember the name - and boy, were we the schnitz!!!!!
I remember vividly a conversation I had with someone. I told them that in 5 years those machines were going to be obsolete because of this new fangled invention called a personal computer that had just come out that could be programmed with different stuff, not just word processing.
Gosh no
I had enough of that all winter! I'm thankfully beginning to perk up, but we don't have snow here.... flowers blooming, 60-degree weather, fruit trees blooming. I will keep you all in my prayers and hope your mood gets better very soon. It is so hard to do this job and deal with depression!
Gosh, at what point will it be enough? sm
You'll have costs that go with that amount of work --- loss of energy, loss of family/friend time, actual wear and tear on your physical self, etc.
You need to decide what is enough and then live by it.
My opinion, anyway.
Gosh, I don't know but that was not the point
 of this post. Yes, I have had to deal with "customer service" reps at different times and usually they seem to have an Indian accent and, quite honestly, I will NOT waste my time trying to understand them.....If I have to take my time to just try to understand what they are saying I tell them straight out "I cannot understand a word you are saying and please let me speak to someone that has more command of the English language"......that usually does work!
And of course, it is very difficult for people to change their accents. I would think that most Americans are able to understand most "accents" here in the U.S. including New Yorkers, Bostonians and even us good ole southerners!!!! English, the last time I looked, was the official language of our country. It is frustrating enough now a'days to have to stay on hold for up to 30 minutes for a service call but THEN to have to speak with someone you can't even understand is just ridiculous! This is only common sense....think about it! Changes must be made for the better and, believe, it will happen when the American people have had all they can take...and the time is soon!
Good gosh!
I love this platform as well, but NEVER EVER came close to your line count! That is absolutely insane! Please share what account(s) you work on and what office you work for.
PS - Do you or have you ever had carpal tunnel?!?!?!?!
Oh, my gosh! This is GREAT!!!...
 I think I'm going to like this better than Sylcount!!! It looks terrific!
Oh gosh, I have too - and beer. nm

gosh, who are you talking about?
sounds like a management problem. not greedy mt.
Gosh, you must be one of the greedy MTs
Oh, my gosh! That is too funny!
Great way to start off a Monday!
I have an ESL who takes the 's' out of effusion. Took me forever to figure out what he was saying because "pleural" wasn't coming out very recognizable, either! Gotta love this job!
Oh, my gosh. That is too funny. I
"my original words of wisdom about judging"
Gosh, you really should get some sleep
I always fear I will make an error when I am feverish and sleepy. I think the boss would understand. The symptoms will subside more quickly more likely if you get plenty of rest. Also, less chance of secondary bacterial infection in the lungs. You may want an antibiotic with strep. But, you be the judge.
Oh my gosh! You're right! sm
I had no trouble reading that post. That's so funny!
oh gosh, that is definitely not the case
the terminology were very, very easy. That I can absolutely post and say with confidence. It was the way the doctor jumped around in his dictation and stating "put this here" "put that there" I didn't know what was a heading and what wasn't. His reports were 5 pages long. But the terminology was EASY. NO QUESTION about it.
Gosh, took me at LEAST 6 months
of 40+ hours a week to even start feeling mildly comfortable with the whole thing. Even now, if I try to learn a new account, I get butterflies in my gut worried I'm gonna muck something up and tend to go a lot slower and double or even triple check everything....but that's just my personality about everything in my life in general. I'm a freak like that ;-)
