I did not make my line count today but did work (sm)

anybody actually work longer than you sign in for in order to make your line count a little bit (very little bit ) better? ...

My line counts are so low today and can't do anything to get it up...thank you to my HDSM for putting me in a helper pool...helps everyone but me! ...

Is it just me or are these companies making it impossible to make any money the way the line count is set up? I can type all day and make very close to minimum wage. It never was this way before. ...

Please don't bash too much. I took this job, made my bed and have to lie in it. I like the work, am getting use to the dictators, but the realization is setting in that my pay, no matter how hard I work, will not get much over state min. I've already had 2 checks with some MUP and probably will have a third. What gets me is, we're told to speed up play to edit faster, yet I have gotten, on more than one occasion, messages from QA/QC to slow down to get bett ...

I have been here for two years and it seems like I am just struggling to make line count every pay period. I feel like I am walking up a hill in a big wind storm, moving but not really getting anywhere. I work nights and I am getting too tired at night. I know most of this is my fault, but worked as an MT before and did great, no problems what so ever and great pay. Does anyone else feel like this? ...

Compared to the pittance I normally do. I normally work nights, and whoa, the dictation is so much better during the day, shockingly so! Guess this is where the good work is - the daytime. Not the nighttime when doctors are tired and mumbly and seem to be the low-ranking physicians. I am not getting the amount of ESLs that I usually do here during the daytime. They really should not have taken the shift differential away, because I deserve the combat pay from the work I am seeing in the dayt ...

I dont know, I have been typing for 8 hours and it tells me I only did 887 lines so far. This cannot be true. Anyone else notice low line counts? ...

A couple of year ago, the company I was working for was off-shoring all they could, which left many of us without work. We were required to clock in, out, in, out, in, out........ during our shift, but had to do so many hours and so many lines. When it go next to impossible, and I was working days, nights, and weekends to try to make the minimum, I complained to my AM and asked that we bring in a third party on this issue, as I was not being supplied with the minimum amount of work r ...

Relatively new. Did not make the required line count one week. Is this a biggie or are you okay as long as you average out for payperiod? What might I expect? ...

I can do it most of the time, but every now and then I miss it, sometimes by as much as 20 lines per hour. I have had 1 email asking that I use my time more productively and make the line count. I actually do use my time as productively as I can. I admit, although I have done this for years, I am not great with VR editing. Also, with the high standards and deductions in FIESA, I really listen and listen again to much of my transcription so I don't fall below wanted numbers there. I am doing ...

that is less than 30 lines; dictator who repeats every sentence with 1 subtle change; DEAD AIR, etc. It is stressful enough that I'm losing money today but to be stressed out about line count and being perfect...I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! ...

I usually use the line count built into the Word program itself. Is MTStars flash count and/or abacus equivocal ?? Any one program better than the other ?? TIA ...

to divide by 65 to get the number of lines??? Thanks. ...

I was just hired on with a company to do strictly VR. I am only going to be working part time so about 4 hours a day. I am wondering from those who do VR what kind of line production should I shoot for in 4 hours of work? What is the normal VR line count for part time? I have read that most who are working full time or 8 hours a day are doing more than 1,000, even 2,000 a day. The company I will be working for wants a minimum of 10,000 lines in a payperiod which the lady said even with part time ...

Anyone have MP Count? I used it a few years ago, but my computer crashed so I no longer have it. I'm not sure if this IC job is gonna work out so I'm not wanting to buy a program at this point. Any advice? Thanks. ...

Is this correct? I type 70,000 characters a day. I am paid by the 65 character line so I would divide 70,000 by 65 to get 1076, then multiple that by pay per line, say $.10 and get $107. If this is not correct then what is the formula? And what is the average number of lines per day? Thanks so much for the info. ...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what is the easiest way to not count template lines when trying to invoice? I get a line count through Word, but I hear that Word counts blank spaces as well. I downloaded and use Flash Count, but it includes all 65 character lines, I beleive including the template headings. I hope this makes sense. Please help!! ...

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. ...

So, MM, don't tell me SR will allow me to be more productive! Because the SR is so horrid, I get more done straight typing. But, MM can't handle the truth. ...

Had to decide today between Nuance and Accentus. After reading through recent and older archived posts on this thread, I took a leap of faith, followed my intuition, and went with Accentus. Now I am sitting here crossing my fingers that following my intuition was the way to go. Something about the recent posts about the ambiguity of the incentive plan coupled with that 99% QA score really skeeved me out. It's ironic, because every place where I've worked, QA was 98 ...

I think he has a little peroneal tendinitis with some super imposed neuritis as the sural nerve crosses the peroneal tendons. tia. This is new to me and it is not too clear. thanks for any help. ...

Just did a job with a big standard. I have the line count, but do not know how to tell if I'm being credited with the lines in the standard. How can I calculate this? Thanks. ...

Hi. Can anyone decipher what the memo means about the new line count? How will our pay change, wait...never mind...I am sure it will go down. Anyway, what does this new stuff mean? ...

Has anyone else working in the North Region noticed that their line count has gone down since CCM made it so that only one job loads at a time? ...

I have been working for this company for about 18 month and so far so good. It was even bought out by a bigger company and everything stayed the same with no problems. They don't bother me, I do my work and everything is fine. About 6 months ago my line count started going way down and I really just chalked it up to not being able to concentrate as much because my baby started walking and basically making it impossible for me to work. For the past week my line count has about doubled. ...

Over an hour into my shift, I went to check my line count, so that I can keep track hourly.. well it has ZERO... nothing has taken effect yet??? is this normal. ...

I have been told that I need to increase my LPH. So last night I kept track of the lines of each document done by using MS Word. But later when I compared it to Nuance's line tracker (ichart) it only listed half the lines that MS Word listed. How can this be? I realized that Word my count blank lines, but how can there possibly be that much difference? I felt like I really kicked butt last night, but then to look at LPH with Nuance's ichart I felt cheated/ ...
