formula
take the character with spaces number - divide by 65 and mutliply by your rate (0.11)- this would be with spaces - for without use the total charater count - use only after you save your work to ensure all characters are counted.
what is the formula
for a straight line count that MTstars program gives you - when I do - tools - properties - line ocunt is is much different - what is the formula used in the program - I thinkI may have been jipping muself.
formula
Divide your lines per hour by 60 then multiply by 15.
i.e. If you type 240 lines per hour; divide that by 60 = 4; then multiply 4 by 15 which would equal 60 words per minute.
I used that formula too for $.059 per line

I think you must have their formula backward.
They probably divide the total by 15 to come up with your 30 minute production rate, then multiply that by 2 to average out for 8 hour day if you are paid by the line or incentive program. What you are saying makes no sense and would be a detriment to them in any type of worker dispute hearing.
Formula of dictation
Depending on the dictation and your experience, the formula I have always used is: 4 minutes for every 1 minute of dictation or 225 lines minimum an hour. It is usually required that a Transcriptionist do 100 minutes of dictation or 1,000 lines a day if you are working full-time. I know some do less and some do quite a bit more. I do anywhere from 1500+ lines a day. I hope this helps.
this is equal to a very old formula
Back when documents were produced on typewriters, formulas were created to define the average length of a line. It was defined as 10 words with spaces, with the average word being 5 characters - thus 55 printed characters per line.
All the ad your reading is saying is that they will take all the visible characters you produce and divide it by 55 to decide your final production at the end of the day. It does not include bolding, underlining, hard returns, spaces, etc., as had been defined by the old AAMT.
The new AAMT/MTIA whatever it is called monster is redefining a line as only characters you see and this ad is embracing the new definition and defining 55 visible characters as a line. A 55 visible character line is approximately equal to a 65 line that includes spaces - but I bet they are not going to compensate for thespacesyouneedtoinsertintotthelinetomakeitreadable.
there has to be some sort of formula out there
to count the lines minus the headers and footers.
score
You need a copy of your report. Whatever bad stuff you can pay, pay it and get a receipt. But let a medical collection be the last priority. Do not let anyone else pull your credit report. Pay everything you have on time. Dispute things that are incorrect. Email me. This will take a while.
SCORE
Since you say you are just starting out and you are a small operation, I assume that you do not have a lot of capital to invest up front. When I was getting started in my business I learned of a FREE service that you can consult with and get all the answers you need. It is called SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives). They are a volunteer organization and specialize in consulting small businesses. Look in your local yellow pages or Google SCORE and find a local office. Unless you have money to invest in an accountant right now, this is what I recommend. It was the best decision I ever made.
My score was 31--
I guessed on quite a few (not the US or England, though) and even got some of the cities right. I didn't think I'd get even half. Cool game!
Ohh, someone gave formula for figuring out

Formula for calculating lines?
Can anyone give me the formula for calculating lines rates? I need to know how much (money) is made if I transcribe 15,000 lines at 8 or 9 cents per line. Also, about how many pages is 15,000 lines (I know that each page will be different in lines for live transcription, but I'm looking for a ball park figure.) It's been a while since I have been on this payment format.
Well, I have a 99% or higher QA score.
I make between $45K and $48K doing this.
NEver been in trouble for QA. Never lost a job for QA. Have been hired for every single job I have ever applied for.
Anyone I've ever worked for has been sad to see me go. People I work for now are very happy with me. I make good money and have a good QA score.
All with no PROPER EDUCATION but just on-the-job training.
HOORAYYYYYYYY!!!!!
I love my QA score and even like my QAs
I am trying to prove a point to "I-type-fast" girl.
CMT pass score
Can anyone tell me what is the score required to pass the CMT exam?
Formula: Dictation Minutes x 3 = 3 hours
That's always been the calculation -- a ten-minute report will take 30 minutes to type... one minute = three minutes, etc... Depending on how slow the doc is, though, you can really speed him up and sometimes type real-time.
I used to use MK foundation, but they changed the formula and now I'm allergic to it.
It makes my eyes water and I can't wear it any longer. I haven't found a foundation that I like as well as the previous MK formula. I wish they hadn't changed it.
Formula is: Characters PLUS spaces / 65 = lines. (nm)

Monthly audits = QA score. sm
Usually companies audit your work monthly. They will pull 5 or 10 reports you have transcribed and do a random QA check on them. If you have critical errors, they will deduct whole points, noncritical errors usually a half point.
If you total QA score is below 98% three or more times in a row, some companies will do what they can to help you, put you back on QA review for a while so every report will go to QA. Other companies may just fire you or let you go.
Is this the answer your were looking for?
I worked for a local hospital that used the same formula for our incentive pay.

That's funny because after we went through CCCS our score went up significantly. nm

The older the account, the higher the score . . .
so they are the ones to keep. :)
Where's best place to obtain credit score?
I know I see Free Credit Report all the time on the internet, but they are not really free, right? Don't you have to sign some sort of protection coverage and pay a monthly fee? Is the best place straight through the Equifax, TransUnion and that other place? (Can't think of the name of it right now). I'm in the market for a new house and want to make sure everything is okay. Any advise? Thanks in Advance.
Execuscribe On-Line Test Score
No, they didn't tell me what score was passing before I tested. They invited me to test based on my resume. I don't know about having to use a C-phone once hired but no I did not need one to test.
How is QA score measured? Is there a standard scale? sm
Is it per report? Is by the number of characters in the report? I am guessing that a missed comma is counted differently than a wrongly used medical term...
Thanks for any help!
Maybe your experience and a high test score - sm
is perceived as a *threat* - i.e., that they may soon need to pay you closer to what you're WORTH, in order to retain your services. Maybe some MTSOs think they can make more of a profit by hiring the less-skilled and "bringing them up to speed", so to speak, within the company while at the same time keeping their wages ridiculously low. Hmmmmm....

People should have powdered formula/mild. Mix it up one bottle at a time.

Powdered formula/milk sounds like a good solution.
However, if you're out of a clean, nonpoluted water supply for over 2 weeks, with no resources available to receive such in the foreseable future, I don't believe even this alternative would suffice! Powdered formula needs to be mixed with something. The only alternative I could imagine available at this point in time would be urine, if you yourself were not totally dehydrated. If you were totally dehydrated & not producing urine, what is your next suggestion?
I believe the original poster is the one doing the scoring, and she is SHOCKED at how low the score
is for the MT, and she doesn't even know what to say to the MT under comments. I can certainly relate - lately, its abysmal in my company. How, oh how, do these MTs get hired? To me, that is the BIGGEST mystery.
Expecially if you can try to impress strangers with a bogus IQ score

I have heard the test is a joke and you don't need a high score
basically because they're desperate and need to keep up with TAT. Now this is just what I've heard but by the looks of what is being hired, I truly believe this!
Actually, NOT having open credit accounts hurts your FICO score.
I closed my credit cards 10 years ago and paid them all off. All I have left is my student loan and my mortgage, which are both paid on time every month. You'd think that would show me as a responsible consumer because I pay cash for everything and don't live off of credit. Instead, my FICO score stinks now because my available credit to my used credit shows as maxed out. It's complete bunk. People are rewarded for using credit while responsible people who pay cash are punished by this FICO system. I have a 4% interest rate on my mortgage, but the credit union tried to milk me at 12% interest on a car loan when they advertised 5% because of my FICO score. My only option is to open up some credit cards or something, but then that shows as excessive inquiries or too much new credit.
Amen! A great IQ score is wonderful, but there are some dummies in the MT world!

Talk about anger...anyone who posts a high IQ score is a pathological liar.....
So, are you saying that no MTs can have high IQ scores?? Just because you don't, we all have to be pathological liars? Sorry.
