Theoretically
If I take my cpl & multiply it by my normal lines per hour it comes to around $30 an hour. Theoretically that's $60K gross (I'm an IC so I would have to deduct taxes & health insurance), but the thing is, I am really in the throes of burnout. So I just don't have the stamina to keyboard for 8 or more hours per day any more. I just can't do it. At the moment I work about 4 or 5 hours a day and the rest of the time I devote to my photography, with which I hope eventually to replace transcription.
Nay. Quite doubtful. I mean, you *could* do it theoretically, but s/m
you would have to work extremely hard and have that much work available to you consistently, which would be rare these days. It would be very unlikely you could get that in 7 hours. VERY unlikely. Sorry.
I suppose theoretically it's possible
If you're really fast and can average 300 lph or more and are making at least 10 cpl.
I hate to see them mislead people like that though. It takes a long time to build up that kind of speed. There are people on this board who say they can do it, though.
Right, but practically speaking,
nowadays, when saying EMR 'point and click' is understood, AVR is automated voice recognition and then there is standard transcription.
When O says 'EMR', he means '
point and click'.
You better believe it.
Sounds like MS Florida! Practically have to tell them...
how many lines you actually worked and what you should be paid. I QUIT! If I have to be payroll person, I'll do it with an IC account. Sheesh!!!!
That's not the standard rate. I'd keep that job. I've had to beg practically to get 4.5 cpl
might get 5 cpl as a IC but that's about it. If there are more companies out there paying over that, sign me up and give me names LOL
I tell a complete stranger my whole life history practically.
I'm suddenly realizing that I have isolated myself and that I have no real friends and the only adult conversation I have is with my DH. While I love by DH dearly and he is my bestest friend, sometimes you need other conversations/relationships.
Had a resident who practically giggled through his entire dictation....
because his psych patient kept asking him if he wanted to see her underwear (she was in her 70s). I didn't find the woman's comment so funny, but this doc had the weirdest laugh...it was like Ernie from Bert & Ernie on Sesame Street. Weird.
BTDT. I worked for a large national. I had to practically get down
on my knees and beg for a secondary. Got one, had even less work than my primary. I went to upper management and got a third account, even less work that primary again, so 3 accounts, and still not getting in but about 600 lines/day.
Yea, and you ought to try it in a snow storm. Practically white out and they're roaring

Have you noticed that practically all the job postings these days say experience with ESLs. It seems
like without good ESL experience anymore you wont even get a job. I think it is really heading that way. I do ESLs but not a lot so I need to get more experience doing that and take a big cut in pay to learn it but seems like it is almost a necessity.
