SoftScript- can you do 2000 lines a day - MTWonder
Posted: Sep 27, 2011
Understanding the pooling situation and difficult dictators, are 2000 lines a long shot using their software. Thank you for your feedback!
Yes--if you consider a day to be 24 hours! - Nik

It's not the pooling situation or really even the ESL dictators that are the problem. It's all the time spent NOT TYPING while looking up the correct demographics, physicians' names (SS provides lists of internet sites on which to look--have fun!), changing information on templates (only on certain accounts--more fun figuring out which ones!), and the like. Sometimes I wonder exactly what the admission clerks who work at these hospitals *do* all day--it's certainly not accurately entering patient info). SoftScript is not a bad place at all. It's just that it's so cumbersome to work there you can't make any money.

Thank you- Seems standard across the board- the time we are not compensated looking for information needed to provide a complete and accurate medical record. Sad, but true~
I ask because I took a job paying 4.5 to 5 cpl for SR using Dictaphone Enterprise Express Editor. I was told that the minimum productivity for SR was 2000 lines per day and for typed lines was 1000 lines per day. Of course, I never get straight transcription. The most I have been able to do in SR on a good day was 1760 lines and that was being chained to my PC for 8 straight hours with only a 30 minute lunch.
I'm thinking that maybe I could do 2000 lines in a day if ...
I have a phone interview today and just found this forum. I am scared to death to accept an offer. My IC job will end due to VR. It is a good account. I type at least 2k a day and really need to be close to that range. Is this possible at this company? Should I just haul hiney in the other direction? I wish I would have found this forum a long time ago ...
At Mmodal, our minimum requirement is 1200 lines per day. That's an awful big difference! Do people have trouble making 2000 lines at TTS? Is this a way to get out of providing benes? (I ask because I worked for a small MTSO years ago who used that method.) Or are the platform and accounts so great that it is actually achievable on a regular basis? ...
I am only getting 650 lines a day at Softscript in an 8 hour day. i used to type 1000 for my other company. I dont know what is wrong with me!! Is this just a slump? Does anyone else go through this? I feel like I am working all day, but not making much money! ...
If only this were an April Fool's...Have you tried looking at the line counts in the line counter for split jobs you do as another starting point for where your line count woes come from... Inspector Clouseau would like to know. LOL ...
Hi there, if anyone has an idea on this it would be appreciated. He says the patient is on a 2000 s/l kilical ADA diet. She is in for syncope and UTI. ...
I found out how to print my *.acl entries. I am now having trouble with trying to move what I have on my flash drive to my laptop that is Word 2000. I found where the *.acl file is (think it is under the MSO1033). But before I make the copy to it, I thought I would try putting in an entry on the laptop in autocorrect and trying to find the file again and that would give me the date I modified it which is today. I have tried every which way and no matter how many entries I put into autocorrect or ...
Patient had a kidney transplant. This medication sounds like "lavetirathatum" at 2000 mg b.i.d. Is this an antirejection drug? I can't figure out what it might be. Any help? ...
Some time ago I purchased a Microsoft Word 2000 and I have lost my product code key...any suggests on getting another product key code...someone please help, I really need this for work. ...
All day today I've been having a problem with my keyboard disconnecting. When I remove/replace the plug, it'll reconnect for a little while, sometimes good for hours, sometimes only a few seconds. I know it's not the USB outlet because I've tried them all w/the keyboard and it still happens. I did update the driver and the optional windows update for it but it didn't make a difference. I've also hooked it up to another computer and it doesn ...
Would those of you who do acute care work and average 2000 lpd share a few pointers with us on how you do this? I've been in this business for many years but struggle to do 1200 lpd with about 40% ESL dictators in my account pool. Also, there's very little repetition in the dictation narratives. I understand about refining your macros, which I do, but other than that I just can't seem to get my speed up.
Thanks for any help that you're willing to give.  ...
Does anybody know which column companies look at to decide if you are meeting the minimum 250 requirement in Escription? When I look at the metrics there are 2 columns...median lines per hour and average lines per hour. ...
if you make 4 cents per line at 1000 lines a day, they really calculate it at 500 lines per day x 4 cents, making it really 2 cents per line for the full 1000.
I heard this, and I am really interested in knowing if it is true. ...
My main account was a good one, and the lines were very good, mostly ER work. I have been on this account for over a year and a half now. We recently received an e-mail stating that Nuance had discovered that the line count was charging incorrectly, as instituted by them, and they had been crediting us with MORE lines than we were actually doing and overcharging the client.
Now get this, they informed us that they would not make US pay it back, for their mistake, but that our new lines would re ...
What do you do when you have the required hours but are short lines?
I got an email that I need to "make plans to have my shortage made up." The only problem is that I'm up to date with my hours for the pay period so far. The other problem is that I have plans Saturday night and Sunday (both being my scheduled time off) that don't include TransTech.
It's getting harder and harder to defend this company when they can't hold up their end of the agreement and continually ...
Just wondering if the TT MTs would like share ... how many lines do you average during the day/week? I'm doing about 9,000 to 10,000 a week and wonder if I should be pushing myself more. How much of your count is VR? I do probably 15% traditional and 85% VR but that, of course, varies week to week. ...
How many lines do you average per day - VR and traditional? I know it's been VERY slow lately, but when things are going well, how many lines do you normally get? I'm trying to figure out where the average numbers are. For me, I do about 350 trad and about 1400 VR in 8 hours. Well, my timesheet says 8 hours, but my clock says that number MAY(!) be a little higher. Again, these are numbers I pull when things are going well and I'm not waiting for work to download.
I'v ...
I have Microsoft Word 2003. Is it possible to upgrade it online to Word 2003? A company I worked for for a short time did it. If it's possible, can someone give me the link? I looked on Microsoft.com but don't see it. ...
I will be changing from Word 2000 to Word 2003 and have a few questions. I am not that great at figuring tech stuff out so hopefully someone will be able to help me. Will changing from 2000 to 2003 affect anything on my computer at all, i.e., will all my other software work okay. I rely on my PC Shorthand expander and my electronic Stedman's books, plus how about my Stedman's medical spellchecker, will they all work the same or do I need to do anything to make sure th ...
Can anybody that types radiology tell me how on average about how many lines they do an hour or a day? I am being switched to by the line and have always been paid by the report. Thanks. ...
Does anyone else struggle to get 2000 lines a day with TransTech? I've been at TT for about 4-1/2 years, but I'm having a hard time getting over 2000 lines a day. If you get more than 2000 a day in your 8 hours, can you share your tips? ...
so I get my offer from MedQuist today after they acquired AllType. In order to qualify for benefits, I have to type 150 lines per hr or do voice recognition editing at 350 per hr. I don't know if I can do this. On a good account, no problem. But ASR on accounts I have been doing are ridiculous, so many random errors, no way you can skim through them. Any body out there that consistently gets these line counts every week without working more than 39 hrs per week ...
