lines per hour not wpm - 7DayMT Posted: Nov 2nd, 2009 - 6:29 pm In Reply to: She told me she types 45 wpm and her boyfriend's - L
is how we think in MT. Most MTs are fairly fast typists but VR is not so much typing as correcting - you type in some words/phrases that don't appear in the draft, and delete the stuff that shows up in the draft that should not be there. You correct the punctuation and reformat. You still have to know just as much so you can tell what is wrong in the draft and put the right thing in. It pays less per line than regular transcription and usually not able to do it fast enough to make the same income. Depends on the program, the dictators, and the day. I have days when I make 8 dollars an hour and others when I make close to 20, but never 30.
