Does it seem like the line counts are not accurate? SM

Over the last 2 pay periods, I have noticed my line counts not being as high as usual. I have not changed anything and Im still doing the same hospitals. I wonder did they stop paying for canned dictation? That would not be right, sometimes that takes longer than just editing or typing because the doctor wants to change this, put in that, remove this. It is not like we are just bringing up templates. This job is so stressful. I just want to be able to sit down ...

Nuance gives me my line counts and they are loaded onto WebClock. I have no idea what reports they are counting. How do you know if the Nuance line counts are accurate? I worked for several other companies and not only did they give the line counts but a tally of the reports that were counted. So if I kept a log of daily reports I could compare to the total of reports that the company was counting. With Nuance there is no way to know what reports they are counting. I am on Dictaphone ...

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. ...

Can you tell me what the required line counts are for Nuance please ? ...

I have been using MPCount for several years but recently upgraded to a new laptop & it will not work on it - incompatible. I tried out their new trial version of MPTools but it does not count my gross lines the same & I would be losing more $ than I would like with it. There is something programmed into the newer version that counts differently somehow. (That was even confirmed with the person who produced this program.) Are there any other line counting software programs out t ...

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 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- ...

Does anyone work for DTS America and have problems with descrepancies on their line count? ...

I would just like to know who DOES get their line counts in every pay period. It seems I am always a little short due to low volume? I hope I am not in the same boat........Thanks for the input! ...

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 ...

According to the Escript, I'm doing an average of 300 lph on VR but usually at the end of 8 hours, I don't top 1100 liines most days. On Dictaphone's ExSpeech, i used to consistently do 1800-2400 a day on a combination. I have noticed with EScript that 1 day a week, my lines will hit 1200-1300, and I even hit 1500 one day, yet the lph were still 300. It doesn't make sense. No, I do not take breaks. Half the time I don't stop ...

I kind of feel dumb even asking this question but how does one get these 300 lph counts I've read about on here? I have 12 years plus years experience and have only worked in 2 different hospitals. We never had expanders so I don't really know much about them. I average about 180 lph but am realizing now working for an MTSO that I am going to have to increase my line counts. Thanks! ...

Hi - I have a question regarding counting templates. I have a new doc who wants me to only count what he dictates, and not the templated review of systems, past medical history, social history, etc. which is all unchanged (unless he says to change it). Do you cut and paste your work into a "count" file to get the total, or do you tell the doctor that it has to be included in the count. And what about the times he does make changes to the "templated items". I welcome any suggestions. ...

extreme trouble being consistent in their line counts? Some days I struggle to get half my lines and some days I can double them. Of course there are factors that influence that like lack of work, which account I am on, if I am having technical difficulty or if I am having an off day personally, but when I look at my timesheets, I look like the most random person on earth. I know many people say they work 7 days a week to get their lines, etc., and I have most certainly been th ...

My highest line count in a day is 2012.... I am wondering what everyone else's record is and how long it took them to get it ????? ...

I am just curious as to what line count standards are out there. What are your line count requirements for the day and how much do you use your QA for things like missing encounters, unable to ID patients, incorrect work types? Where I work our standards are relatively lower than other places, however, we also are required to match encounters, determine the work type, send an email for each work type or inrcorrect MRN, create a temporary patient if we cannot find the patient anywhere in the s ...

Please share highest line in 8 hour day with VR, but no normals. My highest was 2300, but range from 1700 to 2300 usually. I've been at for about 6 months now and need to know where I should be and where I can potentially be. Thanks ...

Okay, another end of pay period with not enough work to make line count. This is just not right. Is there anybody working for DTS right now, working their scheduled shift and making their line count? What is happening there? ...

Is anyone else suspicious about how they are calculating our line counts? I have been siltting here VERY diligently and typing like crazy these last few days and my counts seem to be going DOWN!!! I can't imagine how this can be happening. Anyone else notice the same? Is there some way to keep track? But then again, that would take time from typing EVERY SECOND of EVERY HOUR like they want us to, now wouldn't it? ...

I have been an MT for over 10 years doing hospital work. I have never been able to do much over 200 lines an hour straight typing except for the rare occasions I get several eye surgeries in a row that are canned. Usually I fall below this. My account is not difficult, but I do have a couple of different hospitals and of course many dictators. I have put a lot of their ROS and PE in my shortcuts, but of course they make a lot of changes sometimes. There are those that take forever to spit i ...

Is there anywhere we can look to verify our line counts? Is this information provided somewhere? ...

Did Transcend change the lines or something? Seems to take a lot longer to get my lines in the last few months. It happens consistently so I don't think it is just a bad day now and then, or being over tired. Anyone else notice this? ...
