That's why people don't like editor. Read between the lines. This editor/poster feels it is going "backwards" to be an MT. I rest my case.

I made a typo - sorry! nm

Thank you for "pointing out" a correction on a typo I HAD ALREADY MADE

oops I made a typo...an important one...sm
that should've read *NSA/BUSH spying on 100,000+ million Americans...........one-third of the country*
sorry, I had a long workday.....
I was joking, cause the poster I responded to made a HUGE typo in a tiny sentence!
would like to believe, MYSELF included! Lighten up!
Backwards
To me, those posts sound a little pitiful, or as if the poster is too lazy to do any looking. Do you think companies see the ads and say to themselves, "Oh finally, somebody who is willing to work!" If they did, each employer would have to contact you to ask if you were interested in a job with each specific requirement, such as equipment, IC/employee, etc. Not very efficient, right?
sorry, I had that all backwards..lol...sm
Now that I've tried to understand your 2nd post, I believe these questions you have should be addressed with your supervisor over at the company. You will be working from home FOR them, so you need to get clarification about EXACTLY what they EXPECT from you. Hopefully, they will be flexible so that if you make your line count, if a line count is required, you can do the lines in the shortest amount of time. However, you need to know where THEY are coming from. They may want an 8-hour workday from you. Don't guesstimate would be my advice.
Good luck with them!!!
I think you have it backwards
the "laziness" that you describe is more likely due to demoralization with the constant take-aways from companies. I think someone would be foolish to enter this field now and there are those of us who are too old to change careers. I refuse to give the effort I gave when I had quality insurance, good line rate, incentives, etc.
You are backwards
If you use the same margins, gross is more than 65 cpl.
No, I'm not backwards.
When I went from gross to cpl, I checked the math and came out about even. As other posters have mentioned, the font and margins make the difference, which I failed to mention in my first post. I know that there are more than 65 characters in a gross line.
I think you went backwards
If you can do 60 minutes of dictation in 15 to 20 minutes I will crown you Queen of Dictation. If you do 1:1 you are fantastic and I usually do 2:1 and to me it is great and I do clinic and have had the same docs for 10 year. In 60 minutes you would get probably 700 to 900 lines if it was decent dictation and if you can do that in 20 minutes, my hat is off to you. I think you meant 15 to 20 minutes per 10 minute report or something line that which would mean 120 minutes for 60 minute tape. Hvae a good day.
Going about it backwards
I do VR and put my audio speed on the fastest I can go in order to make the salary I want. I never ever go through first and do a read through. You are slowing yourself down by doing this. Why not do as you go? My numbered lists are all out of wack but I change them 1 by 1, never just reading the entire report first. You can get the speed but don’t ambush yourself in the process.
ESL Dictators-I must be backwards
The more I do the same ESL's, the less I CAN do them. I don't mind doing them as it is challenging, but getting the same ones day after day seems to wear me down and I can't think clearly, so it takes longer for me to finish a report. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to finish a report for a certain doctor, but now it may take as long as 45 minutes! I don't make sense to myself. LOL
have no idea - but it is backwards
kind of to offshore.
How about USMTA just backwards from your first one (nm)
nm
I have a backwards speaking ESL today.
He can't form a proper sentence. "Since discharge, for followup, the patient, two weeks ago, was seen yesterday." I wish it was a verbatim account.
Pepsi, desire you not. 
you have it backwards, if you don't go to the doc get a high deductible
having a high deductible will really cut down on your premiums. Say you rarely see the doctor and don't have prescriptions. An 80/20 plan with a $5000 deductible can run you as little as $59 a month, and that has a $500 out of pocket. I have Assurant Health (formerly Fortis), for myself and the kids. For $5000 family deductible we pay about $3000. So the most we will pay in a year is $8000. But at my husband's last job, we were supposed to pay all of the premium for family coverage and they would pay for his coverage. Premiums were going to be $9000. Add a $500 deductible to that and 20% which would probably run another $2000, and a catastrophic illness for one person would be $11,500. $11500 is a lot more than $8000, plus with the Assurant Health plan that is our FAMILY deductible. With the group plan, if one more person got sick, it started all over again with their own deductible. So you have to do the math. Individual coverage for all 4 of us will run us $5300/yr, that is, if they agree to insure my husband. If you have ANYTHING at all, individual insurance will not take you. So keep that in mind too. Insurance is the reason why somebody in the family should have a "real" job :)
Typing and backwards, what systems do you use?
NM
Shift - home will do it backwards to the beginning

I so agree w/you. Look at what Google just did - bent over backwards to
wanting to catch porn sites.
Why does the US always have to be so darn politically correct. We are going to //politically correct//outselves right out of existence one of these days. Kiind of like that song that says you gotta stand for something or you won't mean anything. We need some boundaries here. *They* won't even let us have a common thread running through our nation anymore of having English-spoken-here to have us be a unified country. They have fractured us to the point where we DO STAND FOR NOTHING.
Read the report backwards from end to finish. Works great for me.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
Press Ctrl+Shift+8 or click on the pilcrow on the toolbar (looks like a backwards P). nm

Why would I go backwards? Simple thing is to fire the MTs whose quality is crappy. Weeded out abou
I get paid rather well, but I really should not have to do an MTs job. The point is I DON'T WANT TO TYPE!! Why would I want to be an MT and type ALLL THE TIME?
I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)
If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference! Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?
typo/ should have said definitely. Thanks
Sorry for the typo and...
I'm also going to post this on the company board in case this is the wrong board for this. Thanks.

Just noticed typo - should've proofed before sending. Sorry for the incorrect spelling of through.
It was a typo
My father-in-law signed my husband up for this and I thought I would give it a shot to see if we could make some extra money. I really am a medical transcriptionist. I work for a company out of Brentwood, TN, but I get to work from home using ChartMatrix and VoiceWave.
It's a typo - get over it! nm

Sorry about that typo!
typo
I meant to say [resent] instead of recent. I hate typos, even in postings---must be the MT in my blood!
Your VPN, no you. typo! nm

Sorry, typo, but I'm not ..
even sure it is the right drug without the context.
sorry for the typo

Sorry---meant 500/wk!
their typo

That is they are here not AR. sorry typo nm.

Sorry for typo. sm
Sorry for typo. Yes, you are right. It's such a small amount, but the principle of the matter as well as her arrogant disposition prompted me to do it. Her lawyer is taking it to trial. We could have settled this thing, but maybe her lawyer is milking her and stroking her pride. Anyway, someone is going to get paid, even if it is not me.
Typo
Was told I could NOT take a vacation....or, not one that included the entire weekend - lol!
typo
cataract and not enough coffee. :)
"It" not I. sorry for the typo. nm

it was a typo - LOOKOUT.....NM
yes, but there are not just typo errors. sm
A wrong word, i.e., peroneal instead of perineal, and the list goes on ad infinitum, or a sentence ending in the wrong place. There are any number of things a spellchecker will not catch. I proof totally when I transcribe. Having worked in QA for a long long time, even very very good MTs make some pretty bad mistakes from time to time.
sorry for typo, should be "looking bad" (sm)
Sorry for the typo...should have been "looking bad". I just woke up and am checking my email, etc. I worked 2nd/3rd last night. I know it is no excuse for a typo, but my brain is not in "work mode" just yet.......
[[[[[[Seems like I've heard that you have to let it get a certain length before you wax? Waxing seems like it would be great, but if I had to wait even 1 day with it looking back, or heaven forbid, dayssss, no way. Is that true, or can you just do it as soon as you see a sign of more growth? Seriously, I've always wondered about this....not OP, but this post caught my eye too.]]]]]]
Please, one typo is NOT the problem..
x
typo--that should be WEBSITE
long day 
I would count as a typo
especially if I felt the MT knew her stuff.... this kind of thing happens - QA supposedly was an MT themselves in a previous life- do you think this never happened to them? I might not even count it depending on the MT and my mood! :)
Please disregard the typo . . .
I see that I have mixed the words. It just makes me mad to see QA with "experience" pick on those trying to make it. Seems like you tend to forget how it was in your beginning years.
oops -- typo
Fingers are not working today. Sorry. :(
My blooper typo-of-the-day! sm
Doctor dictates: "Extremities are warm and well perfused."
What I almost typed: "Extremities are warm and well PERFUMED."
 Time for a break
Ooops! Typo.
 I did type it wrong on my original post. It is Ctrl+Insert+Insert that I use. I am out of it today...typical Monday blahs. Thanks!
