If you make 8 cpl that is 20-24 $ per hour. That was with Medquist the way it use to be on Docuscribe. But at that time, I did the same three accounts for 15 years. I don't know how you would or could make that kind of money doing so many different accounts. But if you are working for a good company and are very familiar with your accounts, you can make that kind of money at 8cpl. Depends on how much experience you have too regarding specialties, etc. etc. Lots of variables but you aren't going to do it overnight by any means!

When I did RAD, I averaged about 10 per hour
so minimum 80 reports in an 8 hour day combination of CXRs, Bones, CTs, MRIs, US, Nuc Med, and PET scans.

I averaged about $2-4 an hour..Whoopeee..
I went to work for the nicest company, Chronicle Transcripts, and was so hopeful it would be a place called home but after a few hours and making $9..I quit. I just couldnt do it. I would do a whole page of dictation and end up with 30 lines. I just didnt get that.

The last 4 years I have averaged $48,000 to $54,000 a year
I have been in the business for 12 years, work roughly 8 hours daily, and make a decent living doing this. Paid by the line at 13 cpl. I have rougly 75% ESL and do H&P, consults, DS and OPs (the basic 4).

Oh..it's way possible. I've averaged $7000 monthly for the last 5 months sm
I have four accounts and work probably 60 hours a week, but have most weekends off, sometimes I'll work a few hours on Saturday morning or Sunday evening. It can be done, but it isn't easy.

Yes at PHNS-- this was a few years ago....was paid initially on how many lines you averaged an hour
the highest you could get was .085 which is what I averaged, however they restructured and it plummetted to .07.....you could get .085 again but you had to really work your butt off (something like +1500 a day). I was PT so I was only doing 500 lines or so a day, at most 1000, so it basically sucked after that. Plus the company totally changed, they started to outsource to the Phillappines, work dried up big time and we fought over the lousy crumbs. Many of us left and moved onto to better things though!
