charging per audio hour

I'm looking at a job that pays 50-55 dollars per recorded hour of audio. This is interview or straight dictation transcription. Does this sound okay? I'm thinking if it takes me 2 hours to transcribe an hour, that wouldn't be such a bad deal. I'm just not sure how long it would take me. I do transcribe very fast...shortcuts are used for medical but can implement for this type of transcription as well. Just not sure that the pay is reasonabl ...

I'm a new graduate of Career Step, looking for work. Some Dr. wants to pay $10/audio hour? How many lines might that be? apay approx.? Rich ...

About how much transcribing is 1 hour of audio? ...

How long does it take to transcribe 1 audio hour of dictation? When I started, I was told we should average it as 10 minutes per every hour, but 10 minutes seems low to me now. It would probably take me about 20 minutes to do a 10 minute job today, with proofing and looking up words, etc. Then again, if you are learning something new, that might not be so unrealistic. Just looking for opinions on this from those who have done it. Keep in mind, I would be doing non-m ...

I am just wondering about what $50 per audio hour of dictation would amount to approximately. I am no good at these things, but I suspect it is low. Just an average would be good. tia. ...

I am used to getting paid by the hour doing medical transcription. Is $50.00 per audio hour for general transcription good or bad? I really don't know. ...

I am trying to bid a job and never before have done so by the audio hour. Is it correct for 1 hour of audio usually 4-5 hours of typing? what would be an acceptable rate ? thank you ...

I am applying for a position for a company, and in the application they ask what your "desired rate per audio hour" is. So far in my application process, I have only come across desired rate per line, so I did not know how to answer this question. Just out of curiosity, what is the average rate per audio hour for MTs? ...

I've been in this business a while, and when I've had to do an estimate, this is the method I used, and it's always worked for me to make sure I wasn't shorting myself. - First, the "rule" is that every minute of audio will take you 3 minutes to transcribe. Again, this is an estimate. It could be less time for audio with dead air or more for mushmouths/speed talkers or if you have to stop and look many things up. Therefore, an hour of audio will take you 3 hours to tr ...

Has anyone worked for that person that pays by the audio hour? ...

I recently started with a new company where I am paid per minute. I am required to do at least 15 minutes of audio per hour while in training and then at least 20 minutes of audio per hour after that point as the minimum requirements. The account that I am on has dictations that are mostly 1 minute or less, fast talkers and pulling in templates. Do you think that these minimums are attainable? I know that I can do that many audio minutes on average, but I'm not used to being paid by the aud ...

Not sure if this is on the right board but it's about a general transcription question so I think so. Does anone have an idea of how many lines someone would type in an audio hour of transcription? Sorry if that sounds like a ditzy question but since I have always been paid by the line am wondering about being paid by the audio hour. Any input would be appreciated.This would be general transcription. ...

If I understand this right, the calculation is $75 per audio hour - that means for every 60 minutes of dictation, the scribe is paid $75. If it takes one hour to complete the job, you make $75 per hour Two hours, $37.50 per hour. Three hours, $25 per hour. Four hours $18.75 per hour. What am I missing? It typically takes at least three hours to transcribe one hour of dictation (audio). If there is heavy formatting, difficult audio, etc., you can expect it to take longer. U ...

I've been an MT for over 5 years and have always been paid by the line. I would think that most MTs preferred wage is to be paid a set amount per hour. If this were not an option, what has given you more of an income, paid by the line or by the AUDIO hour? What I'm currently being offered per audio hour comes out to less than what I was paid per line at my previous job, but the reports are easier to understand so it may be worth it. It is basically both ...

Does anyone know the standards for charging for dictation into an EMR (SOAPware). There's really no way to check line count. Do you charge by how many minutes are dictated? I'm in a quandry and think I'm being taken advantage of. Thanks in advance. ...

I've been charging 13 cents a line for a 55 character line since 1989. Have rates gone up? I've been hiding out in my cave for a number of years now just doing my own thing and have not kept track of market trends. Please let me know! Thanks. ...

I recently acquired a very small account and the doctor requires me to pick up tapes twice a week, print, deliver the transcripts to his ofice and fax each of the transcribed letters to multiple offices using my home fax machine. Average letters to be faxed each week is about 30. I asked for a faxing fee and he said 'No" because the previous MT was not charging for faxing. What should I do? I did the math and it seemed I will just be breakeven and not make money cons ...

I have an ortho doctor that I transcribe for, his office calls or emails me for STAT transcription constantly. I work for 2 family practice docs, 2 PAs and another ortho as well so I'm pretty busy. I often stop what I am working on to do this doctor's all-important work. My question is what is the standard for charging for STAT dictation? I wouldn't mind except, as I said, this happens every day. He cost me over $40 on Thursday because I was ...

Just how much profit are they making. I have no clue, 17 years ago it was 14-cents a line for a 50 character line. Or maybe somebody can give me a site where I can look it up myself. Thanks ...

Okay, I am still a bit confused. I admit I have been spoiled by being an IC for years. I have a chance to pick up a couple of side accounts, but after talking to them they just think they can dictate into something at my home and I will magically be able to hear their dictation. I am totally not well versed with all these computer programs. Can someone explain to me whether it would be worth getting some kind of program to be able to do this? It seems costly to be able to ...

Hi, I am new here, just stumbled across this site and is seems very imformative. I just found out this week that my job is being eliminated due to the hospital I am working for going to an outside service. I am actually in better shape than the other 5 MTs because I have my years in for full retirement, 32 years to be exact. I have already picked up a small job working for a local cardiologist. My question is, I quoted her a per line rate and she is balking on payi ...

Hi:I am make incentive based on minutes, but I work on a system that lets me check how many lines and minutes I have typed in a day also. Just in case I have to get another job based on lines, I wanted to know what is the average amount of lines per hour or per 8 hour shift. Thanks for the advice in advance. MeL ...

I know none of us get paid by the hour, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever figured out just how much you earn per hour, based on a 40-hour week. I'm just trying to figure out where I fit in. I seem to be earning $16-18/hour give or take based on how my week goes. ...

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 ...

One of my clients has a DVD of a meeting he would like transcribed. Does anyone know of software that he or I can use to convert it to an audio file? I normally use Express Scribe to transcribe their work. Does anyone have experience in this or know of a preferably free software program that can do this? Thank you. ...

I am a "newbie." I have tested for 2 small companies and the audio was so bad I just couldn't hear enough to transcribe. Are all dictations this bad, or is it just some of them? The parts I could understand were fairly simple, but the audio sounded like a tape recorder when you are holding down rewind and play at the same time. I am just curious. Maybe my hearing is just not what it should be. Appreciate any response, ...

I haven't had this problem for a long time, but the audio is taking a long time to load today. What a draaaaaaaaag. ...

I put this on wrong board before. Here it is Sun/Mon and I am getting DQS to load jobs, but can get NO AUDIO on them at all. Thought it was the headphones MQ sent us as a gift last year, so changed to my Bose stereo headphones. I can get audio on anything else, just not DQS. Give us a BREAK MQ, please I want to work..!!!! ...

in contacting a general transcription company for work, I was told "a one-on-one interview, 60 - 90 minute tapes, generally generates $40-$45 per tape." does this seem like a low figure?? I don't know much about these types of dictations. They said most transcriptionists complete one 60 to 90 minute tape per day. so how long do you think it would take to complete 90 minutes of two people interview and is $45 too low for that type of work?? just asking. ...

Has anyone heard of pay at 0.16 per audio minute for medical transcription? They told me I could make at least $10 an hour or more at this rate. This seems impossible to me... What do you think? ...
