99.7% versus number of lines audited - chillywinter
Posted: May 07, 2014
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 consistent number that they have to look at for each of us, and shouldn't that number be a larger representation of lines? Maybe my math is totally fuzzy, but any ideas about this? I can't find anything that states the number of lines that are to be audited, only the 99.7%.
It's not actually a percentage, just points off, so - sm
[ In Reply To ..]you're better off with a shorter report where you're like to have fewer typos versus a long report where more typos could slip by you. I have no idea why they don't grasp it's not a percentage if you just take points off.
Scoring changed when MQ went to MM - CT
[ In Reply To ..]It used to be that a score was based on the number of lines in a given report, so a longer report was actually better. Now, regardless of the length of the report, you are given 100 points for each report and deductions are taken for each error found. Having 200 lines instead of 600 actually stacks the odds in your favor since there's less chance for errors to accumulate.
Thanks girls! - chillywinter

Line Counts - Type A Certain Number Of Lines Per Day
Sep 01, 2010
Right now I work doing transcription but have never had to type a certain number of lines per day. We just have to have our work done in a timely manner.....24-48 hours. I am looking at taking a job where they require 1000-1200 lines per day working FT hours and am curious how long that would take typically? I am not the fastest typist in the world and don't want to get in over my head. If I can't work overtime and need to get that many lines done, it concerns me. For tho ...

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. ...

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.

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 ...
Being Audited?
Dec 11, 2009
Am I being audited? Lately, I have had work show up in my QA'd in box that I have not submitted, but there is no score in the score column. These aren't doctors that have previously been on 100% QA.

Wonder if I will be audited again next week. I think I have been audited 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Twice since "failing". So, I have passed 2 out of 3 audits. ...
