Wondering? New company working for counts 65 characters per line. Is this normal? Seems high to

I have heard that Nuance line counts are not based on 65 characters. Does anyone know what the actual length of the lines would be? Thanks ...

Can someone help me out here ? I have forgotten the purpose of this. I work for a company that does transcription in Microsoft Word. Of course you can check your line counts in word, but this company says that isn't right and we have to take the number of characters and spaces and divide by 65 and that is our line count, which is always less than what Word says. Can anybody remember why it's different? Thanks. ...

I pulled up some old posts on here for line count averages, etc. I am seeing the high producers really utilize their word expander programs (work smarter, not harder). Do any of you have any websites that can help with tips for utilizing it? Do any of you use medications in the expander (I do not)?? Tips for using it/remembering what you enter (that's my problem)? Do any of you use it on VR and actually produce more b/c of it? I usually straight type and find on VR I do not really use my ex ...

I need help with a software line counting program. Excel is acceptable, but I am not sure how to use that aspect. Any help would be appreciated. This is for 65 characters per line with no spaces. Can't that be done in Microsoft Word as well? ...

I have been offered a job with a company for clinic notes, which are the easiest. As far as schedule goes, I just have to complete it w/in 24-hours. So the kicker is, the pay is $0.05 a line, based on 65 characters with spaces. They only pay once a month. They also use Microsoft counter as well, which I am not sure if that is good or bad. Would you take this position? ...

I am thinking for right now I don't really care if I "fudge" on my shift a little here and there. First they offer OT, then no work. I almost think it might be better when we are under different management. HOWEVER, I still have not seen anything on the acquisition other than what we were originally told. How odd!! Makes you afraid to go with any of the smaller companies. Who knows who will be eaten up next. I will say I was an old YOG employee and when ...

I would like opinions about the IT (Instant Text) line count program? Do you find it user friendly? Are there other programs preferred/easier? Any suggestions or opinions? TIA. ...

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of an accurate line counter. I currently use Word, but am not sure if it's accurate. ...

My questions pertain only to ISR jobs as 90% of the work I get is ISR, and more specifically the questions are for those using the Enterprise 5 platform (but MTs on other platforms can chime in here too). I am struggling to make the minimum LPH, and I understand there are MTs who are able to produce way beyond the minimum requirement. I've concluded ISR is my main productivity problem and I'm looking for help and a little insight into specifics of what MTs are doing to achieve 186 and ...

I noticed some here have mentioned "templates" that autopopulate text - so that's probably for the EMR (electronic medical record). But there is talk of other things MTs might be able to do in the EMR besides transcribe dictated material. Do any of you or do you know anyone who has access to EMR for data mining or scanning in reports or other things? I attended a webinar earlier this week and am scheduled to attend another one tonight regarding the MT's role in EMR. But so far it seems ...

to tell you that they will not pay you until the doctors/accounts pay them? Would you take the job even if you had been reassured that this is never the case? TIA ...

I received an email yesterday morning about a place wanting to interview me that morning at 10:30, however I did not see the email until noon (had a ton of errands to run). I emailed her as soon as I saw it, apologized for not seeing it sooner and told her when I was available. I have heard nothing since. I can understand being busy, but I would have thought I would have heard something about when we could talk before now. ...

I ran across this site, but I don't see where you can apply for jobs. Anyone else know about this company? http://www.ehrtranscriptions.com/medical-transcription-rates/ ...

I was wondering if anyone knows exactly what OSI cuts out of their line counts? Seeing as they use a remote website for line counts, it is pretty obvious they cut corners with what MTs get paid on. I was just wondering WHAT are the cutting? Do they only pay 1 space? Do they not pay if you copy and paste? Do they only pay on a % per page - meaning if you have little on 1 page you aren't going to get any credit for those lines, etc? Just curio ...

Is it me, or does it seem that since 6.1 went into effect, my counts are a lot lower than usual when I check them under statistics. ...

I know this has been discussed before, but what is up with these line counts? I used to have no problem doing 200+ lph. Now, I work at the same pace on an account with less ESL speakers and I struggle to get my required 150 lph. I won't even comment on the fact that my straight typing has dwindled away to maybe 10 lines a day...on a good day. Thanks for listening...this is just all so very frustrating. I try to keep a positive attitude and be very diligent about my work and ...

For MTs with this company, are any of you having trouble meeting the line count required with VBC within a 40-hour timeframe? I even have expander program. ...

I posted yesterday and had lots of views, but no one replied. Every time I check a line count in different online "character counters", it is about 10% over my MM count. What is the most accurate way? ...

I was wondering if any of you could tell me your average LPH. Is the ASR at Nuance pretty accurate or are you constantly making corrections? How many lines per day are you able to do? I was offered a job here and I know I can trust you more than the recruiter to tell me the truth. Are the top producers really able to make a decent paycheck? Are you kept on your primary accounts for the most part? TIA. ...

Is anyone's line count for today WAY OFF?? I've been working all morning and it seems to be waaaaaaaay too low! ...

Anyone out there finding that their lines are dropping for no apparent reason? Have been struggling for 2 weeks to get minimum 150 lph, doing nothing different than I've ever done, same amount of work, same clients, same hours but lines suck. What are the chances they are messing with our bean counter?? ...

How many lines are reasonable to expect from QA per hour? Is a flat rate of 0.09/line count a good rate? Any info would be appreciated! Thanks- ...

I had to report an IC MT position to unemployment as a part-time job and income. I got the unemployment from a prior employee local job. I never worked for this MTSO until a few months after the unemployment was issued, and it was strictly IC MT. I strongly suspect I was terminated because I may have caused this MTSO to have to pay taxes and possibly penalties. Is there any way to find out whether the MTSO got hit on this? Would I call the local ...

Does anyone who's recently been hired or who have been there a while tell me what the current line counts are for those who want to be full-time employment status at Etransplus? I work on VA accounts and was told it was 10,0001 per pay period, but I've been told by one of the office staff that it was 12,000. I've sent email after email to the supervisors with no response. Does anyone know? I just want to make sure I'm hitting the right target. Th ...
