Median versus Average lines?

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. ...

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 ...

full-time MT type in one day? I have always had P/T MT jobs, but I think some days I'm getting full-time workloads, 1500+ lines. Just curious. Thanks ...

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 ...

Which do you use - custom lines - 65 character lines with spaces or standard lines - seems like so much more for standard lines???? Cathy ...

Hello, Can someone tell me how many lines per month should the average transcriptionist be able to do. Thanks ...

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 ...

and is that straight/VR or both? Thanks! ...

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 ...

Hi, could anyone post what your lines per hour have been for the editing on BeyondTXT? What would be considered good? ...

I was wondering if anybody out there was paid per line for Powerscribe and how many lines per hour do you edit on average? I have always been paid a report rate for Powerscribe Radiology. Also, which version do you use? Thanks!! ...

I have just started on Meditech. Never used it before. I am a long time veteran of 30 years, but this sure doesn't seem like a very productive program. Any productivity tips?? I just wondered what a good average lph rate would be. ...

I know this can vary of course. I have built up my shorthand to over 12,000 entries. I really think I have my speed up considerably but have been paid by the hour working on straigt typing with tapes for some time now. We are going to VR and may need to pick up a second job to take up the slack in work. Can someone give me some idea of what to expect in time to take on another PT or FT position (depending on the amount of downtime I will have soon)? ...

Does anyone on here know of a company other than formerly known as Intellitype, now Castlepoint Management, who lets their MTs sign up for how many lines they will be transcribing each day other than a set schedule with set hours so you are not sitting there with no work and passing time. ...

Anybody know if there is a "standard" for number of lines to be audited on? All of my audits have been for under 200 lines. I never pass. It seems to me that if you sample such a small number, you are more likely to have errors and thus fail an audit. Are each of us being held to different standards as far as lines audited? Are some people audited on 500 or 600 lines and others to a smaller number? If we have to be held to 99.7%, shouldn't there be a cons ...

So I have been very careful not clocking in when work is low because I don't want my LPH to suffer, BUT.....Is there anyone out there who just clocks in and takes the reports slow as they come and accepts the minimum wage? Do you get "naughty" emails from your lead telling you that you need to pick it up or clock out? I hope this makes sense. It just occurec to me that minimum wage would be better than no wage when work is low. ...

Hi everyone:) Just wanted to know how to calculate a line rate based on the number of hours worked, which is for Transcend. Got a "not so nice" message from my TL saying I had better adjust my lines AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to make it balance out with the # of lines I am producing, or else!! I would like to know if 1 of you kind, wonderful MTs would help me. Thanks!! ...

Does anyone know if there is a way to account for transcribed versus speech lines other than manually counting yourself. Since the switch from two different logins for each, TSM said she has no idea how they account for this in our line counts or paychecks. Thanks. ...

My transcription job was always paid by the hour. I was laid off and they recently offered me a temp position with them making $12.00 an hour. I was also offered a positon that pays 7.5 and 3.5 cpl. The $12.00 is employee status for a small local company I worked for over 9 years. The other is an IC position. Do you think I would make more with the $12.00 an hour or the per line production rate? I have never done production by line work so I'm not sur ...

At the same time, he has weakness of abductor pollicis brevis (CA, median nerve) as well as numbness of first finger and thumb on the left (median nerve C6). I am not sure what he is referring to when saying CA and wonder if this makes sense? ...

Also, due to the fact that the patient had evidence of early nasant right median nerve dysfunction, despite having had two right carpal tunnel repairs performed in 1990 as well as in 1996. I know I am off but that is what is sounds like. Thanks! ...

For the findings he says - Moderate hourglass deformity and vascular blush are noted in the median nerve. I cannot find out what vascular blush is, but it's pretty clear he is saying that, but cannot find it to confirm. Any help is appreciated. Thanks ...

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 ...

I've seen it both ways. Is one way correct or preferred? Or is either acceptable? Thanks much in advance! ...

Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...
