I don't really have a set requirement as far as minutes per day goes but I take about 60 minutes each day give or take, Monday-Friday and sometimes Saturday depending.

qa REQUIREMENT
My firm requires 84-100 per day/or until all work for that day is complete. We work on salary.
I think there must also be a requirement
I have worked for a few different companies. My supervisor at each one either had yappy dogs, whiney kids or both. Once I was speaking to my sup and her husband started going off about something in the background. I don't think there is a single person with a quiet house who works in management at any of these companies.
one more requirement
One thing the office needs is to be able to view the file, make changes if necessary, and have the changes easily accessible to the other computers within the office.
Also, the capability to search within a document for a pt is also needed without having to open each file to do the search. They want to be able to do a search of all files and locate a patient. I usually do one file a day for each doctor and put all of his patients in that file in Word. I don't want to have to make a separate file for each patient as that would be way too time consuming.
Any ideas? TIA
Can't, account requirement

What's their line requirement?
What's the work like?
"account requirement" was what I got...
because is certainly is proper..I try to think that it's because the record might be easier to read that way. This job must be much easier for the new ones than old ones like me who have to "unlearn" the proper way of doing things.
Obvious what 1 requirement is...
Obvioulsy one of the requirements of becoming an MT is rudeness and being quick to judge! I was just asking for suggestions and what being an MT entailed. In no way did I suggest that I had any idea about what MT requires of a person. Sheesh!
I know if someone posted on the engineering forums I am a part of I would be more than happy to give them suggestions on how to get started, different paths they could take, ect. Then again, I like to impart my experience so maybe I can help others learn from my mistakes so they don't have to make the same ones.
Obviously MTs work from home for a reason - seems that most of you don't work well with others!! Only 1 person actually took my post for what it was and told me their experience!! That's a real shame.
What PC requirement is good for an MT IC?
I am an IC MT and would like to buy a new PC, but I am at a complete loss as to what the new norm is regarding PC systems for transcription. I would like to also buy Dragon Naturally Speaking Prefferd, so I need something that is compatible with that program too. Does anyone have any advice on what make, hard drive, memory size, and Word program is best to use? I have heard that all new PC's come with Vista and have heard many complaints regarding that program, so that concerns me. Thanks~
MTSOs put into their requirement list
what kind of speed internet they ask. DSL is the fastest and I think dial-ip the slowest.

Internet speed requirement for Chartnet?
My company is in the process of moving to Chartnet and are saying the optimum internet speed is 3000 Kbs upload, 600 Kbs download. At best, I get 1200 Kbs upload, 400 Kbs download,but often less. I have no other internet options where I live. Am I going to have a lot of problems? Thanks in advance.
Used to work at a place that measured productivity by minutes. Minimum requirement was 90 min. SM
in an 8.5 hour day or 7.5 productive hours (minus 30 minutes for lunch and two 15 min. breaks). Don't know if that helps. Also I've heard that it will take the average productive MT twice as long to type as to dictate, i.e. a 5 minute job will take an MT 10 minutes to type without interruptions. So figure 90 minutes of dictation is going to take at least three hours to type and probably a little longer if you figure in interruptions like phone calls, kids, etc.
For me, I would probably say 120-130 minutes would equal an 8 hour day.
Don't know if I've helped, but I hope so. 
1850 lines per 8 hour shift. 15.00 hour - no real requirement

Line-based vs. hour-based requirement
Hospitals do have an hourly requirement, and generally incentive after a certain line level. MQ only has a line based requirement, which is 12,000 per pay period. The hourly requirement is strange, unless they now plan to convert to an hourly pay plan?
