Example of how they do it:Total rpt lines: 29 Error deduction: 1 point(major error .50 minor error .25 critical error 1) Total lines 29 less error -1 = 28 Divide 28/29 = 96.55% That is your score.

Help, Please! I forgot calculation!
I am comparing line counts from one company to Word to see if my lines match up. I forget - do I divide the characters with spaces # on Word by 65 to get lines? Thanks for a refresher! Been a long time...
Line/minute calculation
This way of calculating comes from way back, before actual line counts. Over the years we've counted documents in Word and then compared them to the minute equal line theory. If everyone is in the same pools and has the same chance of getting fast and slow dictators, over a week it equals out. It's bad on days that you have more short reports and speedy dictators and your day will drag. That's when everyone wants to go to an actual line count; but on the flip side, there are days that you will have more long reports with slow speaking physicians, then you think that--hey this is great. The reports are usually a variety throughout the day. We really would like to move to actual lines as this would be an accurate measure for every report.
line/minute calculation
I only get credit for 30 lines on 1 full page of single-space text, even though it looks like 50 actual lines.
