Sounds like what I was told. sm - Anon

Is this TTS? Was told the same thing, and thought there was something wrong with me because I struggled to get to their minimum of 250. Now after a couple of years on the same accounts, I'm topping off at 300-325 lph, and I'm happy with that. Rarely, if ever, run out of work and maintain 99+% QA scores.

Sounds like sunshine blowing... lol - radmt

I agree with above... 300-325 is a high norm, if you are accurate.

I hit over 800 lph the first hour of my shift the other - day and then ran out of work

[ In Reply To ..]
That was mostly ops, acute care work, maybe an H&P here and there. I can do over 450 lph and have in the past, not so much here lately though, slowing down in my older age.

What company are we talking about? - 800 lph....really?

Yep, really. Had gotten high lph before but - never 800.

[ In Reply To ..]
I in the past have constantly gotten over 500 per hour, in the past now because seems like I have slowed down in the past 6 months or so. This was the first time ever hitting 800. As far as the company let me just say it is one that people slam all the time on this board. Nuff said.

I don't believe that for one second. - Sorry!

Yep. It is a bunch of attention seeking MTs who seem to always - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
brag about what they make and how many lph they get. That poster is a liar no question.

And it is always people who cannot get 100 lph - who think others cannot

[ In Reply To ..]
Telling the truth never bragging in my book. I know others cannot believe so believe what you want.

Whatever. - LOL

I will take templates, Alex, for $500. Failing that, - I will take familiar accounts for $200. nm

450 lph is b.s. Unless all 300 employees have - single, easy-peasy accounts, - sm

glitch-free software, clear dictators, simple job descriptions and a non-stop workflow, they're giving you a ridiculous snow-job.

The best advice anyone can give you at this point in time is not to get back into this ridiculous "profession".

When I worked for a large tx co they fed us this everyone else is magic crap .... before VR .... just straight typing. I asked my supervisor to think about how many characters per minute a standard keyboard can produce. Character repeat. What is that number? She never mentioned this to me again. Also, I asked nine people that I knew there - honest folks. Not one out of nine did anywhere near the number the suits had inflated to intimidate, and a number they use to manipulate bonus and pay. You need indeed to question these people who repr averaging 450 an hour ... and tell me the quality is there with that, no way, liar liar pants on fire. We arent completely stupid.

OP who hit the 800 mark. No one has to believe this - no need to lie about this

[ In Reply To ..]
but one reason I can probably hit such high LPHs is the fact I do not work on several accounts, my choice, only 1. I do not have to keep up with stats for 1 and then another. I do acute work and have numerous ESLs so before that comes up about all peaches and cream work will put that out. When I straight typed years ago I always averaged over 2000 lines per day, usually 2500. I guess for the nonbelievers that can never happen either. As far as quality, my company would never stand by and watch someone just put a bunch of mess out and still have you employed there so I have to average 98.5% overall average just like my coworkers.

One way that I am able to average what I consider a good line count is I can put my speed up as far as it will go and hold my pedal down. I scan probably a line in advance of what the dictator is saying. Just my way of working.

OP who hit the 800 mark, only got 550 for - my first hour today, as stated

[ In Reply To ..]
told I had slowed down.

450-500 may be possible - Just me

[ In Reply To ..]

If you get clean VR and/or lots of templates, which I don't. VR is dirty and doesn't seem to catch on very fast because people don't follow the account specs and change things, but I do, and I'm paying for it while they're evidently cashing in. After 6 weeks, I'm finally averaging 250 for VR. I haven't worked for 2 years so still getting back into the groove. Pay period ended today and I'm $12 higher than last one, so I must be catching on. Line counts don't fluctuate wildly, just slow and steady, and run out of work a lot. Those high lines are eluding me, but hopefully I'll see them too one of these days.

TTS? - Ex-employee

That is exactly what TTS recruiter told me when I interviewed to work at TTS. Laughable lie, or at least massive over exaggeration.

Yes, told the same thing by. sm - Anon

in my early days by one of the trainers on the orientation team. I told her outright that I didn't believe her. Maybe a few on easy accounts might do close to the 400 range, but certainly not right out of the gate, maybe after being on the account for a while. Don't they realize that holding up these unrealistic expectations only serves to discourage people when they can't attain these so-called averages?

I did the 550 for the first hour the other day and guess - what? I work for same place

[ In Reply To ..]
You are talking about. Why would you think you could not do this amount of lines? What do you average where you work? Do you use Escription or some other platform? It is not unrealistic. Why are you so doubting? I have no easy account. I have been on the same account for a long time but not easy by a long shot. I do acute care and have numerous physicians. Working today was mostly consults with most ESLs and I was glad I had the VR.

550 for the first hour? sm - Anon

[ In Reply To ..]
but what was your average for that day? I sometimes have a bangin first hour into the 400s, but the average over the day ends up being in the 300-350 range. I'm glad for you, and I'm happy with my average too. What is wrong is the company is telling new recruits that everyone averages 450 an hour which I think is unlikely. They should probably say it is not impossible to average 450 an hour if you are a great MT and very, very fast at SR. I am a great MT and average fast at MR, so I could average 350. The whole point of this post was not whether people can do the 450, but that telling people everyone does it which is not the truth.

I sincerely have no idea what others make - there, have never known

[ In Reply To ..]
The reason I posted about the 550 the first hour was in response to the previous posting of mine, the one saying I had done 800+ one time on VR, only 1 time mind you but it did happen (same platform, same account). I don't even know what I made the rest of the day, just stating the 550 in response to the previous posting. I have many times reached over 4000 lines per day but and I stated this earlier, seem to be slowing down lately, just tired it seems on my part and frankly my dear, well I won't finish the end of that but most know how that ends.

It is always MTs who do not post there name claiming they get these - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
outrageous lines. Yeah riiiiiight!

sm Two Things - see my message

[ In Reply To ..]
First, it is post THEIR name.

Second, absolutely no one posts THEIR name here. It is an anonymous board. Why don't you post your name?

What if they did post THEIR name? Does it make THEIR statement true or false?

Thanks, true, no one posts their names here - hardly wanted to post the company

[ In Reply To ..]
I work for but I did. No one has to believe what I say. I have never hit 800 like I did the other day but frequently hit 600 and 700 range. It can be done with a good platform (forget the bad dictators, it even picks those up) and the MTs are in sync and transcribe alike, i.e. mg is milligrams, qhs is every night and the like. I work fast and scan just as fast as the audio lets me.
