How do you verify with your company that their line count is correct? Do you - really just have to take their word for it? nm

One company I trust, one company I do not - OCD

[ In Reply To ..]
The company I trust - I verified for awhile at the beginning and it was always correct. Now our relationship is such that I trust her and don't double check.

The other company - I run a line count using Sylcount Line Counter on each batch before sending it in. They use the same line counting software so it should come out the same. It hasn't always, and I put it on them to explain why. They run it again, and gee it comes out right the second time. I don't know why it is not right the first time but they do correct it, and I will continue to check them.

Does Sylcount work with all platforms? - nm

I do not know how Sylcount works with platforms - OCD

All my accounts are with private, independent companies and/or individual medical practices. I don't work with MTSOs or platforms.

Sorry :/

VR Line Count - What Kind Of Line Production Should I Shoot For
Mar 24, 2011

I was just hired on with a company to do strictly VR. I am only going to be working part time so about 4 hours a day.

Character Count/line Count

Is this correct? I type 70,000 characters a day. I am paid by the 65 character line so I would divide 70,000 by 65 to get 1076, then multiple that by pay per line, say $.10 and get $107. If this is not correct then what is the formula? And what is the average number of lines per day? Thanks so much for the info. ...

** Imedx Line Counts Are Correct
Feb 05, 2015

We know you do not get headers counted, and we knew that with TT. YOU DO get spaces counted and included in your count. Copy your document, put in Word. Go to menu Tools, Word Count. You find the number for Characters With Spaces. Take that number and divide by 65. It always matches what Fluy reports, always. So, I know we have a lot of pent up frustration with Imedx, but please don't be scaring people about their pay like this, kinda mean. Get the facts. Nothing has changed, or at leas ...

Line Count...
Sep 19, 2012

I have been working for this company for about 18 month and so far so good. It was even bought out by a bigger company and everything stayed the same with no problems. They don't bother me, I do my work and everything is fine. About 6 months ago my line count started going way down and I really just chalked it up to not being able to concentrate as much because my baby started walking and basically making it impossible for me to work. For the past week my line count has about doubled. ...

Receiving Only A % Of Line Count??
Dec 04, 2009

Is it typical to only receive a percentage of your edited lines because "editing is faster and better" than straight transcription?  I am new to VR, but this seems odd to me. No wonder I am being paid a decent rate.  LOL  So, when I edit a 50-line report, I only receive 60% of that report.  I'm just curious if this across the board with all companies?? ...
