and a doctor reads it and says WTF? I didn't say that! But, but my QA person wants me to transcribe according to BOS guidelines so it is not up to the doctor's wants or needs. It is a HUGE CROCK!

I agree with you - 1000 lines is wonderful additional help! sm
It is too bad you have hooked up with a person who does not value family. I always put family first. I used to not do that, and I regret those years.
I would establish borders with her - sounds like she needs it.
Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

what's so funny about proper transcription? nm

How funny; I'm going from transcription to teaching soon!
I already have my teaching certificate, just need to get out there and teach. Been doing MT for about 10 years now, so I can stay home with my kids. It's been nice, but I really need the retirement and other bennies that teaching will provide.
Funny.! I was thinking ...this is my Transcription GOD!

That is kind of funny coming from a transcription
company - most don't care if you have a life, they just want the minutes done.
I agree with Me that he was funny
I thought he was funny! I actually posted last night and said how fricken funny he was!
I almost spit my soda out from laughing. My tummy actually was hurting. If everyone had a good sense of humor like him, we would all be better off and not so darn cranky. Who needs coffee in the morning when you have Frankie Boy!
My Goodness who was posting with him was also a hoot!
Too funny!! I agree with the other girl....sm
It varies from day to day (sometimes minute to minute!) in my house. Right now, he's out of town, so today he is darling! LOL
I agree... whats funny though
is when there is a group e-mail about proofing work and the specific e-mail about proofing had 2 spelling errors....and the e-mail is a total of 3-4 sentences.
I dunooooooooo. 
I do believe we had the same PS and WFC... when you talk about dropped letters LOL.
I don't care if they aren't typists..they certainly get paid more than me and should be way more professional. I certainly wouldn't get a job as anything if I sent a resume like that. They are supposed to set an example.. they are our *bosses*.
funny because we agree on this (children) but.....
Scribbles - We so agree on the not making the child submissive or using violent ways to get a child to behave - I'm one of the posters in that thread though with a different name (I'm the one with the 20 years of therapy experience prior to having children)....yet we so do not agree on Chavez. It's very interesting to me that we are on the same page for one issue and on opposite pages for the other issue.
Ok, we can agree to disagree 
Have a GREAT evening!! 
12 cpl 65 characters up to 1000 anything over 1000 = 13 cpl. sm
Holidays and overtime = time and a half.
Plus shift differential.
Hope this helps.
I agree, is this supposed to be funny? Weird IMO

Too funny. I totally agree with you. Miss Hicks? sm
Was she related to Mrs. Smallwood that I took typing from in 1977? The old bitty would tap you on the feet with a yardstick if you were caught with your ankles crossed and rap the table if you were caught looking at the keys.
She'd say (very loudly) CLASS! Look straight ahead!, sit up straight and uncross those ankles!!! Then she'd get the timer ready for a timed typing and shout READY? BEGIN!! It still sends chills up my spine, but I left high school with 75 wpm and a fear of yardsticks. :)
I have very few letters left on my keyboard. That's what the 2 bumps are for.
And the numbers to be included within your text are on the top row of your keyboard(without looking). The numeric keybad is for balancing your checkbook.
I agree...tooo funny...first time I laughed out loud all day!
thanks!

I agree... I just found it funny on that account that the 3 worst where in the same field...nm

I agree - Do it for all the transcription companies...
or don't do it at all...
I agree...I am a transcription supervisor
and my salary is in the mid 30's. I supervise many MTs who earn twice my income.
I agree with this article. All transcription should be based on minutes

I agree, getting ready to search out another transcription board
as this one has completely gone to the dogs, rarely does anyone go to the other boards that we are constantly being directed to, that is why the main board was so much fun, now it seems there is a place for everything but not here, I will probably be mosing on too. See ya
1000
Seem I do not have a minimum line count, I tend to drag my lines on all day. I have kids who I drop off and pick up at school, as well as volunteer at their school 1 or 2 mornings a week. Most mornings, if I start as soon as I drop them off, around 815 am, and work until I leave to pick them up at 2pm, and I only stop to use the restroom, I can get in 800-900. I usually will do another 100 before dinner while the kids are in the 'Disney Zone' Im not sure if I could handle having the pressure of a minimum count as well as a set schedule.
About $1000.

I did over 1000 in 3 hours, and do so
routinely. Lots of ESL docs, but the key is an expander and doing the same account for more than a year. You need to lay the groundwork, like making sure you have doctors lists, know the formats and account specifics, and have readily available list of resources or reference books to use. At first take the time to write down all the unusual words or terms, instruments, etc., and then it will all fall into place.
Don't just rely on a single word in an expander. Make phrases, sentences, paragraphs, whatever is necessary. My rule of thumb- if I typed the same thing in full 3 times, that was 3 times too many, time to make a shortcut.
Is 1000 lines a day 1000 lines a day for most
companies.
Where I work you have to have 1000 lines a day which is not a problem. But say you get 1000 lines a day, work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week that makes 5000 lines per week. This place has a formula where they take the 5000 divide it by 40, because you work 40 hours and that would give you 125 per hour. Then they multiply that by 7.5 because this is supposedly the number of hours we work a day because supposedly we take two 15 minute breaks and whether we do our not. They would say we only get 937.5 per day. Is this pretty much what all places do our just where I work?
1000 lines
CAn you elaborate on what you mean by "open a few things" in Word for lines, etc.. I'm not real great at computers-over and above what is called for to do my job.
Thanks!
1000 in 3 hours
Takes me 3 hours to do 1000 lines in the current company and account - would love to hear what company the 3218 lines are made in - I love to type and love working at home but I think Medquist is somehow jipping me in my lines but I can't prove it.
No -- I have a list of over 1000 new ones
--that's just the new ones, not counting the 2nd and 3rd year residents. Too many new names.
1000 minutes
1000 minutes, 1000 lines at 65 characters

I was looking at the Vostro 1000 (sm)
not a bad price, was told by Dell 30-day money back guarantee and they'll pay to have it shipped back if not completely satisfied. Sounds like an unbelievable deal.
No way $1000/mo. I am a family of 4 and
ours is way less than that.
most MTs I know do about 1000-1200 lpd

Me too! I always try to go for 1000 grains
and it has now become a competition with DH. I usually win Hee Hee!
1000 lines??
Can someone please give me an idea of approximately how long it takes to type 1000 lines a day? I know it can vary depending on dictators, platforms, typing speed, etc., but I've never kept track of how many lines I do and would like an idea of how long this would take. It would be for clinic notes through MS Word. I type around 90 wpm with almost 10 years' experience. Thanks for any info!
RE: 1000 Lines ???
An average MT can transcribe upto 15-20 minutes of dictation per hour, i.e., 150-200 lines per hour, without compromise in quality. So, you can process 1000 lines in 6-1/2 hours.
new job 1000 lpd, old job 1100 lpd sm
I routinely do 1300-1500 and never break a sweat. I can't sit for 8 hours straight, so I tend to piddle around and I get up a lot.
I think that expectation is fair, but not for a newbie and probably a low expectation for one well experienced.
Old job I topped out at 160 lines an hour. COULD NOT manage more, no matter what I did. New job I top out at nearly 300 lph and I don't think that will get any better. The difference is the platform, since the new job has harder work (more ESLs, less clear audio, etc.)
It is all relative.
You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.
I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.
You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.
Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm

1000 lines a day, impossible? sm
this is not unrealistic. On a good day, I can easily do 16-1700 lines! A mere 1000 lines per day is NOT an unachievable goal, even for a newbie or semi-newbie. My company requires 1200 lines a day, which I believe is about average! 
I did and got it....$1000 for part-time.

Shapin...QA...approximately 1000/mo

1000 lines per day? This is a joke, right? nm

Offered $5.50/1000 words??
Thank you in advance to anyone. I'm not sure if this is good or not.
how many 'pages' is 1000 lines?
Let's say using standard margins, and standard font. I'm from the old school of 'pages', and hourly salary. As I take on f/t employment in the world of 'lines per hour' and 'lines per day' .... what does that equate to, approximately ?
thanks guys ....
Joanne
are u sure that's 1000 lines per WEEK for them? NM

probably about 100 minutes/1000 lines
15 years ago, I worked for a company that paid by the minute. we got 87 cents for 1 minute. I did 200 minutes a day and it was in the ballpark of 2000 lines. it varies depending on your dictators but that's a good average.
Wow, how do you type 1000 lines in
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I don't type anywhere near that. How do you do this?
1000 square feet?
I can't imagine living in such a cramped space! Why, our master bedroom suite alone is 850 square feet!
approx. 10,000 lines (not 1000 as indicated below) - sm
10 minutes generally equals 100 lines, so 100 minutes would be approx. 1000 lines, hence 1,000 minutes would be approx. 10,000 lines.
between 1000 and 1200/day in 5 hours. VR and
straight typing. Depends on work type and account.
