How long does it take you to do 75 minutes of dictation - sm


Posted: Jul 23, 2012

How long would it take to do 75  minutes of dictation (straight typing)?  I know there are a lot of variables, but just trying to get an estimate.  

Thanks

an hour for every 10-15 minutes of audio - CTMT

I found that out the hard way taking a general transcription job at way too low pay.

It is generous at 3 times - 10 min. dictation equals 30 min. type

Depends - GT is 3-4 times the audio amount. - Also depends on sound quality. NM

dictation to transcription ratio - oldgal

[ In Reply To ..]
industry standard is 3:1

So for 75 minutes, all things being equal, it should take you 3.75 hours.

Good platform, nice dictator, you put that at 2:1 and it would take 2.5 hours.

And what is the ratio if you use an expander to - virtually double your keystrokes? In my

experience, the time I spend setting up and researching reports, sending copies, signing on and off time clocks in two places, waiting for stuff to come up, etc., keeps me from getting much faster than about 1.7:1, although I've had accounts in the past I know could be significantly faster.

How Many Minutes Of Dictation Can You Do In An Hour/day On Average?
Feb 18, 2010

I was just wondering your best estimate of how many minutes of dictation you can do per hour/day. My manager is calculating that the average MT can do 100 minutes of dictation per day. This seems very low to me since I can usually do at least 20 minutes of dictation per hour with a mix of traditional typing and VR (more typing than VR). Am I just an anomaly? ...

How Does A Person Figure How Many Minutes In An Hour Of Dictation Can Do
Jan 19, 2010

I am putting in for a proofing/transcribing job with a company but i need to also write down what i need for wages by how many minutes of dictation i can do.  How do i do this?  I have never kept track of minutes/hour and how much i actually do.  It has always been 8-9 cents/line.  She says an average is 20 minutes of dictation/hour then divide by 60 and that is what i would get paid per minute anywhere between her range she has.  Does anyone know how to figure this out. ...

Line Counts - 38 Minutes Of Dictation Per Hour But Only Ended Up With 160 LPH?
Dec 09, 2011

I have been struggling to reach my line counts at a certain company for a while now. I thought it was me. I've been working really hard to get faster and use more shortcuts, etc. I just looked at my stats and I did 38 minutes of dictation per hour but only ended up with 160 LPH? How is that even possible? I haven't had any dictations today with a lot of dead air or anything like that. I've done 200+ minutes of dictation today and have 1400 lines to show for it. I'm just wond ...


Long Pauses In Dictation
Jul 31, 2013

If the an audio is seriously long and the dictator only dictates a couple paragraphs, should I say something about this or just ignore it as part of the territory? Especially if it's the same dictator. Dictations like this drive me crazy because it wastes time and hurts production. ...


Long Pauses In Dictation - Is There A Way To Zoom Past Them?
Nov 18, 2009

I've got the most annoying dictator that I keep getting over and over again.  Her last dictation was over 1250 s long and most of it was just long pauses of silence while she decided what she was going talk about next.  Total major waste of my time and very frustrating.  The finished product was barely a page long!  Is there any way to zoom past those long pauses?  Some kind of shortcut key command or whatever?  Thanks in advance for any advice on this. ...

It appears to be only counting the active time to be the actual time the audio is playing and not all the time I spend in ADT and formatting.

There was a story on the people who lost their jobs. They have COBRA, but there are no jobs, unemployment pays $200/week or so, and COBRA insurance costs $1600/month (I can't remember the exact amount). So they are jobless, losing their homes because they can't pay their mortgages, moving in with other family members, who also have lost their jobs, and of course have no medical insurance.  My heart went out to one woman when she just cried out that she didn't know where they ...


Anyone Know If We Get 10 Minutes With NJA And
Jul 05, 2011

then maybe 1 or 2 short jobs and then NJA again - do we have to wait another 15 minutes or do you count the prevous 10 minutes of waiting and just wait 5 more minutes.  I could go on all morning with waiting 8, 10, 12 minutes, then get 1 job, then wait 5 minutes, get a job and so on and so on.  Should I just add the total wait time until I get to 15 minutes or do I need to have a solid 15 minutes before I can log off? ...

For Those Of You Who Have Received The 15 Minutes
Sep 30, 2010

how do you know you've been paid that time by looking at your pay stub? And does it show up on your time sheets as an adjustment by your CCM? The reason I ask is because I don't believe I have ever been paid this 15 minutes of time (the waiting time when we get NJA). I asked about this recently.  I asked both my CCM and payroll, and my question was never answered...it was just swept under the rug as if I never asked. I am planning to call the labor department about this becaus ...


Last Job 22 Minutes In Length And Only
Aug 02, 2011

73 freakin' lines because of the way the dictator did.  Very slow, lots of stopping and dead air, repeating himself.  In fact, he dictated the Impression 5 times and would say correction and start over.  He even had the nerve to laugh and snicker and said "to start over again".  Wish I could reach through the computer, down all lines to wherever the **** this jerk is and rip his tonsils out by hand without anesthesia. ARG.  Glad I'm done!  And he is a ESL ...
