TransTech lines - How many lines do you average per day - curious
Posted: Jul 13, 2011
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've tried to "pick up the phone" and ask directely, but my direct super, the big boss lady and the director of transcription won't tell me what the high producer's numbers are or even what the average numbers are. I think if we knew what others do, it would be a terrific incentive. Either that, or the favorites would be outed REAL fast. ROFL.
trans tech lines - clarify
[ In Reply To ..]Do you mean you do 350 straight typing per hour and 1400 lines VR per day?
clarify - curious
[ In Reply To ..]No, I average about 1750 lines a day - 1400 VR plus 350 traditional. I like to push for 2000 a day, but that has been almost impossible for me to do for 5 days in a row. I work Tuesday through Saturday and there has NEVER been enough work on Tuesdays or Saturdays to pull 2000 lines. I've been there over 5 years. The biggest total lines I got in a pay period was 23,000 - that was a LONG time ago and it was 100% VR. Ahh, the good 'ole days. LOL
Agree - TTer2
[ In Reply To ..]Yep, a year ago at this very time I actually was ripping out reports (good drafts with primarily good dictators)and peaked at about 38,000 lines in a single pay period. There was more than ample work, anywhere from 500-900 reports on the account 24/7. It was an MTs dream. Then I don't know what happened...the drafts became sloppier and error-ridden, and the clean-up became time-consuming and monotonous. It seemed even the better dictators became sloppy and haphazard, which made my production nosedive where it was a struggle to get 20,000 lines per pay period (their "magic number" to get that extra cent per line bonus). Then, on top of all of this, I've watched the work slowly drying up and disappearing over the past few months where I'm doing good to get 10,000 lines per pay period, and that's being strapped to my computer about 18 hours a day just hoping to meet the minimum requirements.
I don't know what's happened to/at TT, but all signs point to something not too good IN MY OPINION.
I agree 100% with you TTer2!. nm - boy oh boy
[ In Reply To ..]xx
so many lines! - so little time
[ In Reply To ..]That's sad that you went from a high of 38,000 to struggling to get 10,000. I would consider 38,000 a high producer and shame on TransTech for letting that happen!! Was that 38,000 all VR or a mix?
Thanks for sharing your info.
I wonder why no one else wanted to share their average lines?

TransTech Lines - How Many Lines Do You Average During The Day/week?
Jan 19, 2011
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. ...

TransTech Lines - Required Hours But Are Short Lines?
Jun 10, 2011
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 ...

Average Lines
Apr 29, 2014
I currently work for a clinic system who, it seems, is trying to usher us out the door so I've been looking at online companies. It seems plenty pay by the line but I have NO clue how many lines per hour I can even do because the only number my place of employment gives us is average minutes per hour for an entire month (our bare minimum is 12 min/hr). So I am curious to know what sort of average lines per hour you ladies can do? We really cannot afford for me to take a hu ...

How Many Lines Do You Average A Pay-period?
Mar 10, 2012
Not talking straight typing but VR line average per week or per pay-period. I know its a personal question but we are all anonymous here. So for example do you average: 7000 a wk 9000 a wk 15,000 a pay-period. 18,000 a pay-period. Me personally, I have been only averaging 14 to 15,000 a pay-period. Trying to work on improving and I work 40hrs per week, so basically only doing anywhere from 7000 to 8000 per week. Just curious if I am average, below average...I am assuming below ave ...

How many lines will you type in a week on average? I am typing anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 lines a week. I spend my entire life typing, cooking and sleeping. I very rarely have to time to go anywhere or do anything. I was just wondering if everyone else who types at home has to type so much. I work seven days a week and never get a day off. I am just getting so tired and I think I need a break but if I do not do it, it just piles up and no one else helps out, so what's a girl ...

I know this can vary of course. I have built up my shorthand to over 12,000 entries.

Is anyone having trouble meeting their quota? Even with enough work available, I cannot reach my required lines per shift. It's a combo of speech (75%) and non-speech (25%).

Is It True That FOCUS, Only Counts Half Of Your Lines When Calculating VR Lines?
Jan 30, 2012
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 ...

150 Lines Per Hr Or ASR 350?
Sep 09, 2011
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 ...
