Here is my estimate...

In Reply to: Two hours of dictation.... - Curious
If a dictation is 5 minutes long, it will probably take me 7 minutes to type it. So, I imagine if I had a 2 hour long dictation (God forbid....) I imagine it might take me 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I always do the "time and a half" thing on judging how long it might take me to do a dictation.

no estimate
I was actually suggested by the customer service representative when I originally was going to place an order for unlimited LD on my residential phone that it would be better to change over to a business line as they would likely cut you off if they saw you used the unlimited LD on a residential line so much. I followed that suggestion:)
Rough estimate.
I work approximately 5-6 hours a day five days a week and then at least 2 hours on Sundays. I can expect to bring in anywhere from 600-800 dollars every two weeks. There are so many variables to take in to this though. How fast you type, how much you make per line (7.40 for me). Good luck! This is not an easy job to get into, so just make sure it is really what you want to do...If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
I wpuld have to estimate - sm
Maybe a hundred or so, many different hospitals, and LOTS of ESLs with horrible accents...
I'd estimate about 200+ - all accents

estimate on company's profit
The company owner (who got the contracts for us, and we subcontracted from her), charged 2 cents more per line. In other words, if the transcription company paid the MT 9 cents per line for transcribing an account, the transcription company would charge the doctor 11 cents per line. That was in the year 2006 BEFORE we went digital, when we used the minitapes. I don't know whether digital requires more or less overhead.
Sounds like Transcend where they want you to give an estimate of hourly
and then they figure your production percentage on their website to tell you if you're above or below your average. Problem is if there's no work, they don't factor that in and it shows up a negative percentage all the time.
Your cost estimate is about right. Lots of insurances don't cover it. nm
When I was considering it, my insurance (Aetna) wouldn't cover the Band and I seriously considered going to Mexico to have it done (about $7000 at the time). I decided on a RNY instead, but Band surgery out of the country can be a great option if its researched thoroughly.
Can y'all give me a rough estimate on how many lines per hour you can do with SR...sm
speech recognition? I crunched some numbers today, and I can only do 300 per hour. I think I might tapped out. Is that good, average, bad? I don't have anything to compare it to, so not sure where I stack up. Any info would be great. Thanks guys!
