1/2 cent per word - anon


Posted: Oct 28, 2012

Does anyone know what a 1/2 cent per word would come out to be from transcribing, say, like a 20-page document?  I just saw a company advertised on Indeed.com and it said 1/2 cent per word.  I am like, What?

to find out - check in word

copy a 1-page document to word and do the line count.. it gives you the # of words

its between 4-4.5 cents a line without spaces - as an average - nm

I don't know, but that sounds like it could be awesome!

You think 4-4.5 cents a line wihtout spaces is awesome? - .005 cents a word w/o spaces is NOT awesome lol

Is there a way in AutoCorrect (Word 2010) to change a comma to a period and then cap the next word to make VR go a little faster?  The platform at my old company did this automatically, but MS Word does not : ( This is so frustrating having to change from a comma to a period (or vice versa)--which as you all know happens constantly...and then change the next word to be capitalized (or uncapped)....my wrists are killing me, not to mention it takes so much TIME.....

Need To Convert Word 2013 To Word 2010
