Basically, you've got it right. However, voice files can be large and email may reject large file attachments. Also, there's the security aspect that you didn't mention. Basically, the voice file and finished document need to be encrypted to be secure.

You said you don't have the time/didn't take the time to do the research. Lots of people have and have shared their findings time and again on this board. I, for one, am not willing to reinvent the wheel every time someone is looking for this information but doesn't want to take the time to do the legwork. No offense meant but please do take the time to educate yourself. If you really don't have the time or don't want to take that time, then be prepared to pay for that information in the form of a consultant.

for CMT/RMT cerifications are being used to offer "India" rates to workers in India to test for their CMT/RMT cerifications. I REFUSE TO BELONG TO SAID ORGANIZATION AND I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE MY HARD-EARNED FUNDS TO HELPING INDIANS GET CREDENTIALED.

If anyone knows where I can find this, please let me know.  thanks

to people they  have working on the same account I am for me to help them, I'd stop working for that company.  I work for myself, my rate is for typing the company's work only, not for assisting another transcriptionist.  The only way I'd do that is if I subbed work to another Transcriptionist myself.

I think it's funny that you would expect to see the company's line count charge for the customer.  Do you think every business lets their employees see what they charge the consumer?  Anyway, sure we should have accurate line counts.  Guess what?  if you work somewhere that isn't giving you one, leave.  I did.  When I worked at Spheris, I could type all day and never reach my goal.  EVER.  And I was typing 200 min of dictation at my other job and doing 18,000 to 20,000 lines a pay.  I knew something was not right.  So I left and found a new job.  Now I work for another national.  I have no problems, NONE with my line count.  As a matter of fact, I find it easier to get my goal there than ever before. 

We don't have to unionize to get what we want, we just need to keep looking for a better job.  There are some out there.  Especially if you don't go into it looking for something perfect.  There are problems on any job in any career. 

I have interviewed, tested, and have been offered positions with at least a dozen companies in the last 2 years and none of them had anything better to offer. 

The paragraph issue is really a non-issue to me because over a period of a day it isn't going to make enough difference in my line count to buy a cup of coffee.  I hate long reports too for the most part, it really depends on the dictator.   I try to make a game out of it.  I take a deep breath and just start typing and it seems to really make it go faster.  After I finish a report I might allow myself to get up and have a drink, read the newspaper, or surf the net for 5 minutes.   Since I download my work I can for the most part decide what order to do the reports in.  If I have a couple of long ones and a couple of short ones, I'll alternate them.   If TAT is close I'll just type them in order though.   When I get tired I get up and move around even if it is just to put a load of laundry on.  When all else fails I set the alarm and take a 15 minute nap and go back at it.   You can ask your supervisor, or the one assigning work, if you could have a different mix.

It sounds like you are just stuck in a rut more than anything.  

If you do decide to look elsewhere I suggest trying to work the new job part-time for a couple of weeks before giving notice, so you can see if you've made the right decision.   Like I said, if this is the same company I work for in FL you won't find anything better. 

The smaller ones have better accounts, useful macros and expansions, decent line rates, nice supervisors/owners, but probably IC with no benefits.  I don't care about that as long as I can crank out the lines in a small amount of time.
