I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
Lines per day - part time
I am just wondering, how many lines per day would be a good average if working part time?
thanks,
MKC
For most companies how many hours may part time employees work. What is the minimum and maximum
usually.
I can do 1200 lines in 5 hours so with 2 full time jobs
I work on average of 9-10 hours a day. When I sit down to work, I do not do anything but work. I do not surf the net, etc. Also, I am single and I live for my weekends so during the week I work hard. I also have 2 kids so most of my work is done during their day at school and after they are in bed for the night. I have a ton of short cuts in my Expander program too. If I type something twice, I come up with a short cut for it. Its not that hard. I would try the one full time and one part time and see how your time is first and if it is okay, then I would bump it up gradually. You don't want to burn yourself out but if you can do it and you have good accounts, go for it!!!!
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

Mention that you have noticed a decline in lines produced
That will open up the lines of communication. She may be struggling with personal problems, fatigue, any number of things. She may not want to *bother* you with it, but I am sure she will appreciate your concern. Good luck!
What is the minimum lines per week required by employers for part-time for transcription?

Sounds like just where you work. Most places don't check so tightly on the lines produced AND you

lines produced also depends on type of account, doctors, specifics, platforms.

Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
I do 2000 lines in 6 hours - so maybe 3 hours - nm

Not anymore. For some time now, I've been working 32 hours and am considered full time to receive

Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
462 lines in 2.5 hours.
need lines not hours
do you do radiology?
Hours/lines
I personally have never run across a company that pays by the hour. Most companies assign you a shift, but you get paid by the lines. So, it is UT to you if you take a lunch or breaks. How long you stay off your computer will have an impact on your line count of course.
full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
2200 lines in 3-4 hours?
IMPOSSIBLE! NO WAY! unless you are counting lines with 5 characters as a line?
For all the extra hours I put in on DQS to get my lines, no way.
:
where do you work that you just do lines, not hours?- nm

1,100 65-character lines in four hours.
I was doing 1,100 65-char lines in four hours. Unemployed now and big nationals don't pay enough. Why do all the great accounts go to VR or newbies and I get stuck with ESL garbage?
Hours per 1200 lines
Just want to get some feedback on how long it takes to do 1200 lines. I did clinic notes and was an IC for four years and work on and off throughout the day, so I really never had to work straight through the day to produce. I am now going to do acute care-hospital work minus lab and radiology reports. I have about four years experience.
Thanks,
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

Well, I just transcribed 1500 lines in 3 hours. sm
I work on the same account every day, same dictators, lots of templated reports I did myself and put them into auto correct. I get up early, start at 7 am and today I was done by 10 am. Cleaning the house now. Also, the line pay is slightly higher than most, so 1500 lines is fine for me today.
On harder days when the account is really behind, I get up and vacuum the house after 3 hours of transcribing then come back for 1 hour. If things are caught up, I stop for the day. If not, I will go back in the evening.
I can't sit for 6-8 hours straight. Making $160 bucks in 3 hours is good for me and enough. Tomorrow is another day!
Use templates and short cuts - that will help! I have whole reports in my auto correct, but you have to listen through and change and correct things as each patient is a different case.
I do have to tell you, I do not get this many lines every day in such short a time. It just happened that today was a good day. 
Hope this helps.
Yes, I'm back. 3 hours=255 lines. Think I'm just a little upset here!!!!
Yes, I am - worked 7 hours @ 3218 lines.
It all depends on your account and worktype you transcribe, as well as your expander. I am an MT with 25 years experience also, transcribing all acute care, mostly op reports.
As far as tricks, I don't have any. I consistently do at minimum 2500 lines in 5-6 hours daily. I think the key is the account you transcribe.
I have been where you are now, and it is not fun. I finally found my company/account and have for the past 6 months. I have to enjoy while it is here, tomorrow may be a different story.
Keep looking for that right company/account. You will come upon it soon. Good luck.
3000 lines - 6 hours- VR editing. nm

I type 1000 lines in about 2.5 hours (sm)
I type on a gross line and I can type 1000 lines in 2.5 hours +/-. When things were good at MQ on the Cottage program, I could type 450-500 lph. Everybody's situation is different. Sure some people stretch the true, but it is still possible, but you have to take into account all the different variables. I utilize my word Expander to the fullest. Any little thing I can think of to save me Keystrokes I use. I checked my stats for my shortcuts the other day and in 3 hours I had actually saved 56% of my keystrokes. Can speak for anyone else, but on most days, I can type 900-1000 lines in 2-2.5 hours.
That's it??! Doesn't sound like a lot of lines to me in 4 hours. nm

It took me 8-10 hours for 100 charts 1000 lines sm
This was with ExText, 20- to 45-second (give or take) reports. I did have distractions. I was completely bored with soooooo many short-short reports. Also took some time in the document info screen because company I was in did not have their act together. Had to search and recheck that I had the correct visit and location.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Absolutely. If I need someone to transcribe 500 lines between the hours of
8 am and 5 pm, it's up to you to take on that contract as an IC or not. But if you agree to do it, it's your responsibility. You don't have to accept the position as my IC if you can't or don't want to provide what I need.
I type no less than 1500 lines in 7 hours
On my slowest day, I will not allow myself to get less than 200 lines an hour. Depending on the worktype, I can type up to 400 lines an hour. It is hard for me to consistently stay at that speed as I have orthopedic issues!!! I also can type extremely fast, (120 wpm). I also use a lot of Expanders and shortcuts.
I had 2256 lines yesterday in about 7 hours...
I just had a deadline I had to meet and worked my butt off...I use my Expander to the max...I can do 1200 lines in 4 to 5 hours...
Average about 2300 lines in 6 hours but
this is a mixed bag of editing and straight typing. The split is usually about 75% editing and 25% typing, If that helps any.
What do you call it when you do your 1100 lines in 4 hours? sm
and I call it normals and I call it lots of canned dictation.
Unfortunately, I am employee and I can't take the rest of the day off. Had this Saturday, had this today. IT NEVER HAPPENS and I have had it twice in a week.
Looking for my super streak to end now, go back to being a typing machine on a chase for work.
I just type 250-275 lines per hour and transcribe about 6 to 6.5 hours a day.
I am a seasoned MT who back in the day 2000 lines was nothing to achieve. I sat for 8 straight hours, barring potty breaks and 30-minute lunch. But now that I am pushing 50, I can hardly stay in the chair 2 hours at a time. I have set my goal at 1600 lines per day as that is what my employer pays 9.5 cpl for. If I drop below that, my cpl drops also. In addition, I have a backup up IC position with another company (to compensate when I run out of work on my FT job) that pays 10 cpl. I type 2 hours on that account (usually at night) and get 600 lines per day. Fabulous account, fabulous "internet software" everything is right at your fingertips, and they count spaces, headers and footers. Actually both jobs count spaces.
My advice to anyone wanting to get more lines- first and foremost priorty is check out the software the company uses. If it is not user-friendly... forget it. There was this one company who paid 10 cpl, and I could hardly get 500 lines in a 2-hour period. They said they counted spaces, but it was hard to tell, and they surely did not count footers or headers.
Good so far, 1000 lines in 2 hours. Busy!
So sorry to hear there is now work for you MTs at MQ. Maybe time to find another job with another company.
Do you work outside your scheduled hours to get extra lines?
Or do you stick to your schedules and just roll with however many lines you make during that time?
Darnit! Should read lines in 8 hours?!'
Poop...hate it when I do that.
I have more than paid for VR. I achieve 1200 lines in 3 hours. No need to hate sm
the MT to use technology to its full capability. Do you think a company cares if you type everything no. The bottom line is you have to get you line count.
2-1/2 hours a day, 1300 lines/day, $150 a day, 7 days a week, IC status

part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
I have 17 years acute care experience and don't make 1200 lines in 6 hours. sm
I work for a company that is VERY picky about their work, 100% QA everything. I have been with them over a year, and have to go back and listen to my work a second time while proofing. I only make 160-170 lines an hour, but the pay is good for that, and I have learned so much in the year that I can go to work anywhere without problems. For me it is worth the extra time to put in the few extra hours a week to have really top QA. There is room for all types in this business, the really fast ones, and the slower ones who work differently, you just have to find your place. Ideally, we should all type 200 lines an hour and have 99%+ QA, but I don't thank too many of us make it. Good luck to you.
I time myself for 2 hours and
then I get on my ellipitical or do some other exercise that makes me sweat for 20 minutes. I find if I exercise, that helps me sit back down and work quietly for another couple of hours.
Full-time is 32-40 hours BUT
This is where full-time gets tricky. Say you work you full-time hours 32-40, depending on the company,but you haven't made your line quota, hence, you end up working more hours to make your quota. Also, if your company offers health insurance and you haven't made your line count, then your health insurance is in jeopardy. That is why it is important that you have "work" consistently so you don't have the added pressure of worrying about keeping your health insurance.
Part time
I work part time from home, and I graduated about 7 months ago. It fine doing part time, just don't expect to make any money.
