Taking a stab at the math of $75/AUDIO hour

I'm looking at a job that pays 50-55 dollars per recorded hour of audio. This is interview or straight dictation transcription. Does this sound okay? I'm thinking if it takes me 2 hours to transcribe an hour, that wouldn't be such a bad deal. I'm just not sure how long it would take me. I do transcribe very fast...shortcuts are used for medical but can implement for this type of transcription as well. Just not sure that the pay is reasonabl ...

About how much transcribing is 1 hour of audio? ...

How long does it take to transcribe 1 audio hour of dictation? When I started, I was told we should average it as 10 minutes per every hour, but 10 minutes seems low to me now. It would probably take me about 20 minutes to do a 10 minute job today, with proofing and looking up words, etc. Then again, if you are learning something new, that might not be so unrealistic. Just looking for opinions on this from those who have done it. Keep in mind, I would be doing non-m ...

I am just wondering about what $50 per audio hour of dictation would amount to approximately. I am no good at these things, but I suspect it is low. Just an average would be good. tia. ...

I am used to getting paid by the hour doing medical transcription. Is $50.00 per audio hour for general transcription good or bad? I really don't know. ...

I am trying to bid a job and never before have done so by the audio hour. Is it correct for 1 hour of audio usually 4-5 hours of typing? what would be an acceptable rate ? thank you ...

I am applying for a position for a company, and in the application they ask what your "desired rate per audio hour" is. So far in my application process, I have only come across desired rate per line, so I did not know how to answer this question. Just out of curiosity, what is the average rate per audio hour for MTs? ...

I've been in this business a while, and when I've had to do an estimate, this is the method I used, and it's always worked for me to make sure I wasn't shorting myself. - First, the "rule" is that every minute of audio will take you 3 minutes to transcribe. Again, this is an estimate. It could be less time for audio with dead air or more for mushmouths/speed talkers or if you have to stop and look many things up. Therefore, an hour of audio will take you 3 hours to tr ...

I thought I had already posted this but I guess it didn't go through since I can't find the post but here's my question. I've been working for as an MT for a long time in an imaging facility being paid per hour. It's been a long time since I was an IC. A friend has asked me to type a 6 hour discussion from a focus group meeting. Nothing too technical and no strong accents. I'm used to just charging .10 per line but he wants a quote per hour. ...

Has anyone worked for that person that pays by the audio hour? ...

I recently started with a new company where I am paid per minute. I am required to do at least 15 minutes of audio per hour while in training and then at least 20 minutes of audio per hour after that point as the minimum requirements. The account that I am on has dictations that are mostly 1 minute or less, fast talkers and pulling in templates. Do you think that these minimums are attainable? I know that I can do that many audio minutes on average, but I'm not used to being paid by the aud ...

I've made a corporate decision. For myself. As of 4:00 EST, on May 17, 2012, I will never again apply, or waste 2 unpaid hours of my valuable time testing for ANY company which does not list CPL or hourly pay in their job listing. I will also be submitting my own "EMPLOYER HANDBOOK" to potential employers, addressing wage transparency, full explanation of pay rates, and precise factors by which "hourly" or "minimum" wage amounts are arrived at. I ...

Not sure if this is on the right board but it's about a general transcription question so I think so. Does anone have an idea of how many lines someone would type in an audio hour of transcription? Sorry if that sounds like a ditzy question but since I have always been paid by the line am wondering about being paid by the audio hour. Any input would be appreciated.This would be general transcription. ...

I've been an MT for over 5 years and have always been paid by the line. I would think that most MTs preferred wage is to be paid a set amount per hour. If this were not an option, what has given you more of an income, paid by the line or by the AUDIO hour? What I'm currently being offered per audio hour comes out to less than what I was paid per line at my previous job, but the reports are easier to understand so it may be worth it. It is basically both ...

Hi:I am make incentive based on minutes, but I work on a system that lets me check how many lines and minutes I have typed in a day also. Just in case I have to get another job based on lines, I wanted to know what is the average amount of lines per hour or per 8 hour shift. Thanks for the advice in advance. MeL ...

I know none of us get paid by the hour, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever figured out just how much you earn per hour, based on a 40-hour week. I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in. I seem to be earning $16-18/hour give or take based on how my week goes. ...

Pfannenstiel stab incision or sterile incision? Any help will be appreciated! ...

...and I'm wondering about everyone else's situation. If I work diligently and have work available, I can do 300-350 lph in SR, so that's $12-$14 an hour. My hours actually spent engaged in my job, getting ready for my job, getting to my job, getting home from my job, etc. are basically the hours I'm working and the few minutes it takes me to boot up. I have no car (don't need one--spouse and I work the same hours), no uniforms, no lunches out, no conve ...

Just got notified the national audit team did a June audit on me and I failed. I had the incorrect birth date. Stupid me. I am usuallly so careful that what is dictated and what ADT have are in sync. This 1 got by me. Said my audit score was 96.75. If a critical error is 3 points, how can this be? Even 97 would be failing. HMMMM? Guess slow down and triple check everything. Back on the "worry wagon" again. What will happen? ...

Let's say you have 1,000 MTs. If N manages to keep $100 per week per employee due to penalties, that is $100,000 each week that Nuance gets to keep....for nothing. Multiply that by 52, and they get $5,200,000 to keep per year just on platform, QA, QC, LPH. And how many MTs are there? And how much more than $100 are we losing? But heaven forbid they have to increase you by a few dollars to get you up to minimum pay. Check where your total lines are comin ...

I've tried to do the math to figure exactly how much of an "increase" this is. I'm sure it's chicken feed, but since I keep getting a different answer when I try, I'll never know. I subtracted my old rate from my new rate and got 0.0013. Is this 1/13th of a cent my raise per line? Lordy that cannot be right! I kept doing it over and got different answers, and I don't know how, but math isn't my forte. What does 0.0013 mean? Is i ...

I'm unsure if my math is correct, but this is what I got. I average about 300 lines an hour for my 8-hour shift. In order to reach the cap over the 4 days, I would need to type 16,666 lines above my normal line count. That would be 4167 lines extra a day. In my case, at 300 lph, that would be almost 14 more hours I would have to work daily on top of my normal 8. I suppose 1 hour to sleep and 1 hour for eating and potty breaks a day is all I need, right?& ...

Here's my deal...I got a report a couple of days ago that shows my avg LPH for the previous ppd along w/ some other stats. It shows that I edit appx 300 LPH (cut me some slack as I'm fairly new on these auths). If I multiply that by an 8-hr shift and my line rate (0.045 cpl), I keep coming back to about $20 more per day than I'm actually getting. My straight transcription pays about double the VR edit rate, so WTH am I missing.Apologies for being dense, but I rea ...

if my current job is calculating a line at 55 char w/spaces and a prospective job calculates a line at 65 char w/spaces -- I am so dumb with math anymore -- what would be the equation I'd use for figuring LPH that I might make in an hour on new job? thanks!! ...

Many posts on this convoluted mess called a compensation plan. Here are my positives: 1) I don't have to notify payroll if they posted more lines than I should have gotten. I have no clue how many compensated lines I should be given. 2) I don't have to notify payroll if they overpaid me. I will never know. 3) I will know where all the food banks are and every other means of help with utilities, etc. Now, here's my negative after doing the actual math: 1) I am losing $350 per ...

I just received my March report, graded at 99.3% and the accepted standard is 99.6%. There were 5 audited reports - 3 @ 100%, 1 @ 99.75% and 1 @ 99.3% which was the last one. My March report said I averaged 99.3% and need to improve quality, proofread, ADT screen, dates, labs and so on. Problem is, one missed comma gave me the 99.3% score. Yes, one comma in that report, nothing else was noted. Just doing simple math to come up with an average score for my audited reports (5) is 99.81% surpass ...
