weekly pay
I bring home right at 1000 a week, but that's a FT job, a 20 hour per week PT job, and a 15 hour per week PT job. My FT job just basically pays for my insurance costs.
once weekly sm
Take it, I did this for years and the once weekly is now hard to find, they want it back on the Net in 45 minutes sometimes. Why not work for yourself instead of some big wheel who make a profit on your sweat equity? BYOB - Be Your Own Boss!
Any other companies pay weekly besides EFD?/nm

Sorry, I was making around $250-$300 weekly

Weekly earnings
Am relatively new to at home transcription so I am not doing as well as most poster.
Instant Text is relativley new to me, but helping prodcution.
I am not familiar with MP Lite. I know someone will be kind enough to share.
Thanks!
And what do you consider "a ton of money" ? What do you make weekly? nm

NEMT pays weekly. nm
Walmart is a weekly MUST and of course we're waiting for

Do you have a weekly ads pub that you could put it in under Business Opportunities, or in your local
s
As stated below, I agree. Overall weekly average is approx. 600 lph sm
Now, granted there are days I can do over 1200 lines an hour, but overall within the week you have those dictations that take a little more time.
I have made more money on this platform than any other. Absolutely love it!
We have a small local paper that comes weekly in the mail...
and I spend most of my time counting the spelling errors when I read it. The best one was the headline one November that proclaimed - HAPPY THANKGSIVING. Did I mention this is a FREE paper. I would never pay for something like that.
Another one I saw a number of years ago, mirrow instead of mirror. And one time at my old job at a manufacturing plant, they were taking a bus trip to some shopping "outlits."
I am a teacher's kid and stuff like that really bugs me. Good thread by the way!
What is, on average, a normal weekly IC report production?
I need your opinions please….
I am an IC who works for four doctors who each dictate approximately 100 or more reports a week. They send them via over to their personal website and I download and transfer to Express Scribe (awesome program by the way). They tend to call me often and will ask for one or more patient’s report to be faxed over immediately for insurance purposes. Of course, they have no idea how complicating and time consuming this is on me, when I have to search for these specific voice files, one by one, and then transcribe the report, etc. I felt a bit of an attitude the other day when it took longer to perform my task.
I am wondering, am I just too slow? Is completing 400 or more reports (on average half page reports) a week slow, including transcribing these special request reports? I feel so stressed all the time now; their phone calls for insurance purposes are becoming more constant. I am wondering if they realize that I am not an employee, but an IC, and that there is a difference. How may reports do most full time IC’s complete within a week, plus deliver 2-3 times per week?
Thanks for any and all advice.
2 part time (totaling 40+/-) 1 pays weekly/1 biweekly.
Weekly for food. Biweekly for bills.
I remember in Weekly Reader the article discussing "pay TV" and how we didn't see that anyb
would ever pay money to watch TV. I always thought it would be in a coin box on top of the TV set. I couldn't imagine having enough money to do that.
Weekly Reader also predicted that one day we'd go to the store and pay with a card instead of money, that our money would be "virtual" and stay in the bank.
That was about 1960. It was actually a pretty close prediction.
Curosity- I am curious if I am making the normal amount of money weekly for MT. Would anyone care
to share their weekly amount of pay?
Defragging & running spyware weekly helps the speed a bit, but more memory and a faster processor

Quick question or poll - What does one consider "good money" for weekly bring home income? sm
Would you consider $1000 a week, IC status, working 5 hours a day, 5 days a week "great money"?
What do you make a week and how many hours do you work?
This is for informational purposes only and not to belittle or degrade anyone or boast and put anyone on a soapbox about their income.
Thanks for your help!
How about a home health aide or an aide for Hospice? Get paid weekly, too. nm

Thank you ghost! So true! So true! More than one person!

Yer crackin' me up! True, true, true! nm

ROFL!! true, so true! nm

true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm
true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm
I think a lot of people go the extreme -
so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*). And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way. Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.
Gave me much to chew on :) Have fun! 
True but to say there are no good MTs not true.
asdf
ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
True!

that's so true nm
this is sad, but true
search engines are great, but they pick up all the WRONG information also...so be careful
That may be true for No. Cal. (sm)
in Southern Cal (Orange County), the accounts have become quite scarce and most doctors will not pay over 11 cents per line, that is, if you can find your own accounts at all anymore. They get a lot of solicitations and do not have to pay over 11 cents. There is a lot of EMR taking over out here or all the accounts have been taken by large services.
Sad but true
.
Of course, what you say is all true; however...
my compassion and tolerance dries up pretty quickly when someone expects special treatment (plays the ____ card, if you will) because of situations they are in a result of their own decisions.
This comes across as harsh, but it's a fact of life that decisions do have consequences, and when people try to minimize the consequences of their actions and/or expect other people to pick up their slack, I get mighty testy indeed.
Hey, what I said is true - I do it --
I don't cherrypick. I probably work longer hours (about 9-1/2 to 10 a day)than most but I can get 3000 lines in a day and if I worked longer, say 15-16 hours, I have no doubt I could get 4800 lines.
No one is cutting ANYONE's line count. I just stick with it, man. I keep typing while others are up running around doing their laundry, or tending to a kid, or playing on this board. I just keep typing steadily along.
Hey, man, I'm sorry if you have problems getting more lines but that doesn't mean I or anyone else am taking them from you. They are there. Sit down and type 'em.
And NO, I don't work for this company. Every company has CPs and it is not fair. But just because YOU can't do someone else's line count doesn't mean they didn't get it -- without doing something unfairly.
That's not true (sm)
I confirmed this with my office when I started DQS. I also tested it by importing text into another program and all characters and spaces, including the red headers were counted.
Is this true?
A girl at work today told me that Keanu Reeves is the (late) Christopher Reeves son.
I never heard this before, and so far I am unable to document via the internet. Anyone have any input? Much thanks.
It is true
Dont doubt it, it is true.
true true.

UN-true
Beth, face the fact that we aren't buying your bunch of hooey. Shame on you for trying to sell it to us. Go away. Go troll somewhere else.
SO TRUE
I couldn't believe what was happening. I knew that I was producing much, much more work, but couldn't understand why I was not getting near the lines that I was getting before the switch. Then, one day, I found out. I've hated MQ every since.
It's true
In DQS hit F9 and to a detailed summary of your lines. Then click on a report. Two types of reports will be shown. One is the way the reports shows up after corrections are made and the other is for payroll which is the way you transcribed the report. Choose the payroll one and then scroll to the bottom. It is not hard to figure out. And, YES, you can look at what you have transcribed this way. The head honchos want us to look at our work after it has been corrected so we will know what mistakes not to make any more. I have been transcribing for 23 years and if I leave a blank it is usually because I cannot hear what the dictator is saying. Typically when I recheck a report, the ME or QA person could not figure it out either. Sometimes they leave the blank and sometimes they just take it out and put something odd in its place. Now, how is that right? Everyone should be checking their reports.
It is so true
Where I worked previously, we were able to add a "weighted factor" for difficult dictators and for certain types of reports as some in the office thought those reports took more time to transcribe or were just more difficult - OP and CONSULTS. If you look at the bottom of the payroll report you will see all kinds of figures where items are counted, not counted, possibly could be adjusted in the future, etc. Look at it, and figure out for yourself what the future holds!!!
It is so true
Mtheaded - I think we worked for the same company before. Would you care to e-mail me?
Tis true...
We're swamped!
This is not true!
I am a Quality Assurance specialist with a large national transcription company and I beg to differ with your statement. We send our overflow work to India and let me tell you, their quality is NOT "superior" to the American MT - In fact, we have to do 100% QA on each and every job - your hair would curl at some of the mistakes I have seen just because they don't understand basic English colloquialisms. When all work has to be 100% QA'd by a salaried individual, where is the savings? Unless you send unedited, unproofed work to your clients, in which case I don't think it matters where the good MTs are...you will be out of business soon. Don't dare compare the quality of American and Indian MTs.
Well, that is true too.
Probably low quality work from them.
Actually, that's not true. I am not the OP
and I rarely post on here but I work for MQ as well and am SICK of the whining about MQ.
For every one of you who has the right to complain about MQ, an MT has the right to complain about you.
Get over it. It's fair game. You're sick of MQ? We're sick of your complaining.
I have to say, though, it is kind of funny that now we've given the incessant whiners something else to complain about! You should be happier now!! LOL
That is so true!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I can't stop laughing.
Unfortunately tis true...
And I wish Bush would get a new line - of business (perhaps Wal-Mart greeter?)..
So true...
This is so true. I work for MDI and there is plenty of work. There needs to be more hours in the day to get all the work done that is there. I believe some of these people DO NOT work for MDI or they would know better.
this is true, however,
Forty hours a week is forty hours a week. It should not matter WHAT days and hours you choose to work.
I worked in customer service at a call center. My hours were 11 a.m. to 8 a.m. I was off Friday and Sunday. That was 100% legal.
Not True
I use InstantText with DQS and it works just fine. When you load it you have to tell it to look for DQS to link the two... but it works great. Don't know if SmartType works with DQS or not.
It's true
