They should look at your overall ratio instead

In Reply to: Just wondering what everyone thinks about this... - Pooped
A seasoned Transcriptionist who gets a variety of acute care work will have a consistent ratio of the length of dictation to the amount of time it takes to transcribe. If they will look at each MTs ratio (say 1 minute takes 3 minutes to transcribe), this is a much more equitable policy and they will know which MTs are slackers and which are heavy hitters. It is counterproductive to be called on the carpet for individual reports and much more effective to reward consistency over a period of time.

3:1 ratio
Same here - that is what we learned in school - but using WordPerfect - I have found it not as easy using Microsoft Word - also depends on using a word Expander or not.
Probably going by the ratio
that it takes 3 minutes to type 1 minute of dictation.
I was told average was 4:1 ratio. NM
Usual ratio is 3:1 of dictation, so 2-1/2 to 3 hrs NM

Hearing/typing ratio
Wondering what the input/output ratio of most is. Are you typing in the spot you are hearing or somehow listening further ahead (and still typing from what you heard prior)?
Do you have to stop/start the dictation much?
Any descriptions appreciated.
About 7000, but our income is low 6 figures, so ratio isn't too bad.
s
What is acceptable error rate (i.e. error ratio to line count).
Thanks.
