Are you kidding? I think "pretty much all" is - Funny

stretching it a little bit. Name 5 companies who pay more than 0.04 cpl for VR editing.

Funny, I am with you on the pay of 4 cents, standard now - My job pays the same amount

Would be surprised to see if anyone could come up with 5 like you said.

Diskriter pays more than 5, tiered approach,nm - 17yearMT

half asleep, a few that pay more than 4 cpl for VR: MedQuist, Diskriter, StenTel, Transcend, MD-IT, etc. etc. Search the archives & the VR board. Most of the decent companies pay more than 4 cpl for VR.

You say most decent companies pay more than 4 cpl? - Golly gee

Reading the MQ board there are hundreds if not more who would disagree with their company being decent. They also talk about their voice recognition being terrible. That might be 1 reason why the pay is higher there. There are also flames all over the board about Transcend and MD-IT, did those 2 merge or are merging soon? Thanks, I will just stay at my nice job where I am paid 4 cpl for voice and it is really easy for me, nice company I work for.

More power to you. I'll keep my 6. - nm

Hey, go for it, have no problem with yours either - Golly gee

There was a discussion going on just a few days ago on either this board or the main board about people doing voice and how they could increase the money they make. Very interesting. When I found out what I would be making (the 4) as compared to what I had made, my mind was set then to make a certain amount of money each day on voice. I do have some regular typing but not that much now, mostly voice. It has worked like a charm. The set amount I thought of was what I make. Come to find out there are others out there that do not let the X amount of line pay get to them, they set their goals and make them. Very, very interesting.

Transcend only pays 4 cpl for VR. - sm

They only pay more than 4 cpl if you're on BeyondTxt, and believe me, there is a reason for that. If BT was just as good as the other software they use for VR, they'd be paying 4 cpl for that as well.

VR: The higher the cpl, the more the corrections...nm - .

Diskriter uses a tiered approach....ranging from 4 cpl to 0.056 per line depending on your hourly. I average 0.0525 per line.

I've been following the company and job seekers board for quite some time now, and seriously having a hard time staying positive/focused on finding a decent MT job! It seems that there are plenty of negative horror stories here (and definitely worth sharing that info to save other MTs the trouble of wasting our time!!) but I'd like to know about some of your experiences with good companies. So I'm asking for some suggestions on your experiences (past or present) on MT companies t ...

I am looking at ads here and keep seeing things like 3 cpl for editing. Who could work for that rate and why? These MTSOs really need an awakening. No one should work for 3 cpl. Is there anyone who does editing for that kind of rate and actually earns a living? I say more MTs need to stand up for themselves and say no to this. Just sayin'. ...

For those of you thinking of going with FN out of California, when you get your employment package, you will find that 2 lines of work equals 1 line of editing--in other words, you must do twice as much work to get paid for a line of editing. Of course, you do not find that out until you have invested time and interest with this place. ...

So, here it goes -- We all know the medical transcription industry has really gone downhill with regard to our pay. I currently just lost about $10/hour to change to editing and I have been doing it for several months hoping that it would get better, but it has not. This is just crazy to me. You still need the same amount of knowledge to create an accurate medical report. I do not know about everyone else, but the reports I am seeing coming ...

Is it possible to make any money doing editing for 0.03 a line? I was offered a position with them and it is 90-95% editing. I have never done editing before and am just wondering if it is something that is worth trying. It is only part-time. I have been trying to find something, but I am not having any luck. TIA ...

I've been working for a national company for over 5 years and all of my accounts have been transitioned to 100% SR work at 4.5 cents per line (a far cry from what I used to make). I'm now basically making minimum wage due to all the editing that needs to be done to these reports (and we've been on SR for over a year now). They keep making changes to improve SR but it's just getting worse and worse. From what I've read it sounds like 4.5 cents per line i ...

I'm interested in figuring out the average VR lines per day an MT can average with M*M as well as how many straight typing lines you get per day. I know this is dependent on a lot of different factors like account and the skill of the MT but, if you are willing to share, I would love for people to post how many lines per day you average on VR and straight typing. Recently someone here mentioned that the top producers in their region were producing 1200 VR lines per day. I would ...

Not to mention when I am sick like I am now, I can work in the comfort of my own home. That in itself is a blessing! I wish this for all of us. Anybody else with gra ...

Here is an example of why we need to keep a sense of humor about what we do.

My poor brain couldn't handle any more last night.) “… which suggests some risk for future problems in the future if treatment in this area of treatment efforts are un ...

When doing VR, which of course is 98% of the time, I keep my hands at the bottom of the keyboard, left hand near Cntl, right hand hovering over the arrow keys. Since there is a lot of deleting to do, you have to reach up to the top right corner of the laptop to press delete. Of course I always have to look to make sure I don't accidentally hit insert. It's so annoying. Is there an easier way that I'm not thinking of? Any suggestions would be SOOOO app ...

Hi fellow MTs. As we all know, this board can sometimes be full of negative things, and many MTs who once had a good career in this field are experiencing changes that have negatively affected them and their pay and their lives. My heart does go out to these people; however, I thought it would be fun to talk about some positives we have experienced in this field, even if we would no longer recommend the field to a new person. Personally, I have been an MT for 5-1/2 years, and ...
