I am increasing my pay

I understand the point you're making, but the bottom line is that my pay IS increasing. In most jobs, you don't have that option. I am working more, true, but I CAN increase what I get on my paycheck. And because of production incentives, I actually do make more per line when I type more. Fortunately for me there is enough work at my company (for now) to allow me to do this. If there wasn't, I would get a second job.

Increasing VR production?
I have been working on this account for 3 weeks now and I am playing the audio as fast as I can understand it, but I still cannot get 2500+ lines a day. I am trying to use all of the eScription's shortcut keys and keep my hand off that mouse too. What else can I do? I need to be making at $100 a day to survive. Any tips would be really really appreciated. Thanks
Would increasing Zoom help for now?
in Word? nm
The problem is they are too big. No increasing needs to be done. I just need to firm them somehow!

increasing line count
The key here is word expanders. I put everything in there. As much as I can. Words, sentences, whole paragraphs. Be creative. The more you have the faster you will go.
Increasing line count - help!
Ok, guys I need your expertise. I started with a new company and now have 11 accounts, each with different formatting/rules and of course MANY doctors. I tried putting some of the common phrases in my expander, but it is not often I get the same doctors again. Needless to say, my line count is low. I'm trying to find a solution other than crying and collapsing every day after my shift. Knowing this situation -- new doctors, a range of different reports/formatting, how do I increase my line count? Has anyone ever gone through this? Please help!
Exercises for increasing speed
I have read a few folks asking about this and thought I would share.
When I was mentoring MTs, I would point them in the direction of a post by Redpen on Mtchat. In that post, she takes folks thru an exercise of firstly writing down all the times/things you are doing during your shift that is not transcribing. Then after you see the time you spend at work but not working, she talks about listening ahead, so you make fewer mistakes (because you have listened ahead and you know if the doctor is going to tell you to scratch that or whatever).

Looking for tips for increasing my productivity on SR.
I fairly new to SR. I've been MT'ing for 16 years. I was wondering if there are any secrets to increasing production. I use Dictaphone SR. Basically, when I get into the report I do a quick read through and correct any formatting that needs to be done, i.e. bold and capitalize headings, put in paragraphs, numbered lists, etc. Then I listen to the report from start to finish, editing as a I go along.
I was just wondering is there a faster way to get through a report. I'm not sure if the Dictaphone SR report quality will improve over time, but right now it requires an extensive amount of editing and correction. Sometimes it would be quicker to type the darn report!
Increasing production in Editscript.
In Escription, I often use my Expander when editing. Because it is Word based, I also use Autocorrect and Autotext and always use macros to handle any client-specific formatting corrections. Because there is no distortion in audio, I keep the speed at the fastest I can comprehend.
And yes, depending on the account, I can double, but not quite triple, my production.

Increasing Line Count-Shortcuts
ok, i was reading the posts about you gals typing 2000 lines a day. everyone suggested using all the expansions and shortcuts you can. I use autocorrect in word and autotext. Can anyone post some suggestions for expanders? I use some, but I am not getting anywhere near 2000 lines. It could also be because I am in my first year at home. Any more suggestions?
Definitely a common font size. Ask if increasing the zoom on your end

Increasing the zoom view does not increase the font size.
