It is doable, but...

it depends on how comfortable you are with the account itself, the format, the dictators themselves, the platform and how many templates/expanders you can utilize. If you get a bunch of 1-2 minute reports on a slow platform, forget it.  If you get crappy dictators or have to switch to multiple different accounts with different formats, forget it.  If you have to look up too much information, cc's or demographics, not doable either.

I used to get 3000 lines in an 8-hour shift with ER tapes.  I had done the account for a couple of years and had lots of expansions/templates and was very comfortable with the docs.  I didn't have to use any platform or fill out any bloody demographics.  Just regular old WP5.1.  I didn't have to wait for anything to upload or download or just plain not load.  I think we were on a 65 cpl though and not a "line is a line," so it still would have been somewhat comparable to today's transcribing, except for today's platforms.
