Does anyone know the standard number of typed words that equals one typed page? I know this varies, but anyone have an idea?

My very first day I typed something like 150 lines
for 8 whole hours. My supervisor looked at the line count and made the clerk do a re-count, lol, surely they made a mistake! Nope, it was me. By the end of four months I was off of hourly training pay and on incentive doing about 1600 lines per day. It will come if you work at it. When you first start, your head is in books most of the time too, so this is taking away from your typing. Just keep at it.
The way she typed s/l....... shows, that the audio is very bad....nm

I've always lost the first lines that were typed when
they come back on and change what they had said. The report needs to make sense and if he is obviously going in another direction, it's just easier to start over. It doesn't seem fair, but that is they way I have always done it. Now, if you had typed a paragraph or so and he just hung up or got cut off, I would leave a QA marker and send it in and get the lines.

How is that possible? It says specifically on their web page - sm
That they only place transcriptionists who are experienced and have at least 2 years of experience? Do they waive that sometimes?
There's a thread down the page about these.

I also think $3.00 a page sounds fair. sm
Ask for templates. Most of the formatting is probably done for you. My thing would be though even if say the last page is only half, then still charge the $3.00 for that page as well. JMO.
Or use their Apply Now button from their ad on page 3 of Job Seekers,

Need words of encouragement
How did you guys feel when you got your first job? I feel like I am doing horrible. I am getting feedback from QA and I have all these little mistakes that I'm not catching. I know that criticism helps you to fine tune yourself but I feel like I am doing bad. It is only my second day but I'm just afraid I'm going to be let go. I might be overreacting but I wanted to see if any of you guys felt the same way. I just need some words of encouragement. Thanks!
I can't figure out how to add words

Your words are idle gossip
Once again, where is your PROOF. There is no, nor has there ever been a class action lawsuit because there is no basis for one, never has been.

Per your own words, you're having a hard time.
Obviously you weren't trained correctly if you can't understand what the doctor is saying. Regardless, a lousy 36 reports and a piece of paper doesn't mean much. You're going to have to handle the truth one day.
The accreditation is actually the government's terminology. In other words, if (sm)
a school is "accreditated" it allows the student to apply for PEL grants, government loans, etc. Otherwise, they are private schools and not subjected to the government's way of running their program, etc., and the student is not eligible for the loans and grants that an "accreditated" school would be. This is no means changes whether the school is good or poor, just means whether or not they allow the government to dictate how they operate.
Are you using an expander? Are you using it for entire phrases, and not just words?
It also makes a difference if you have the same dictators a lot, or if you have different ones all the time. But still, phrases like "alert and oriented x3" and "The patient was prepped and draped in normal sterile fashion." can be done with just a few keystrokes.
Are you staying in your chair, and staying focused on your work, not checking emails, etc.? (This is a problem I have, I get distracted easily, especially if I hit a hard or boring part!)
Simple words like "grammar" are NOT what a spellchecker is for. Not if you have "excellent
