If you're willing to share... - VRMT

Posted: May 22, 2012

I'm interested in figuring out the average VR lines per day an MT can average with M*M as well as how many straight typing lines you get per day. I know this is dependent on a lot of different factors like account and the skill of the MT but, if you are willing to share, I would love for people to post how many lines per day you average on VR and straight typing.

Recently someone here mentioned that the top producers in their region were producing 1200 VR lines per day. I would like to know if this is about typical for other regions as well.

I will start. I am new at M*M (still in the training period) and yesterday I got 890 VR lines and 90 straight typing lines. I am full time.

Anyone else care to share their averages? Also please note if you are part time or full time.

Thanks :)

Ill bite...

I do an average of 1300 per day speech wreck and about 20 to 100 lines of straight typing per day.

My percentages - MME

On a good day:
2550 lines
24% straight
13% QA
63% ASR
$16/hr

Bad:
2510 lines
4% straight
52% QA
44% ASR
12/hr

You may have noticed the difference between good and bad may correlate with the QA numbers. Yeah, MME is not the promotion they make it out to be.

Hello. You can be very vague and I will probably know. I think we may be from the same company.

This is the M*Modal board. - nm

Forgive me cause I am old... but what is - PLZ?

[ In Reply To ..]
I am guessing please, but I am wondering why an MT would use that. I mean, I can see a 12-19 year old doing that in a text message.

Agism - Lisa

Against someone because of age too. Wow, that is nothing new. Racism, and now Agism. When you put people in WE and THEY box, you are not a good person in god's eyes. Plz is universal for please, sorry to not make that clr (which is clear, BTW, which is by the way here 2 (which is supposed to be too in this case)

ok, then below, you accused everyone on this board - of being racist

[ In Reply To ..]
So, you are not a good person in gods eyes.

Really, I think you are a bully and possibly a troll.

OK, this is getting ridiculous - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I would suggest we all stop responding to "Lisa" and stop getting pulled into the drama. This person seems only bent on causing trouble.

Yea, you can totally tell her typing style even if she changes - her name

[ In Reply To ..]
Sick of it.

Holy buckets lady! - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I saw nothing offensive at all about that. She is saying she is old and not familiar with internet lingo. Seriously, I doubt one person on this whole board saw anything offensive in that statement. You're not going to be making any friends on this board if you're making silly accusations. If you don't like the way people respond on here, see if you can find the Stick-in-the-Mud board.

Don't think she is old, think she is very young - and more than likely

[ In Reply To ..]
not from the U.S. Just my opinion.

No measuring sticks please (plz) - Lisa

[ In Reply To ..]
Please do not attempt guess at age, and I am one of the original persons of the USA, please don't forget that.

So have we all been trolled this whole time? - Very odd waste of time and not even funny.

[ In Reply To ..]

yup... trolled - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I questioned the typing style from the start and got flammed for it, but this person does not belong on our US MT board.

what is an original person of the USA? - sorry

[ In Reply To ..]
but didn't all the original persons die about 300 years ago?

good stuff - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
This poster was obviously an Indian MT that came on here to cause a debate. We fell for it, for sure.

I agree ladies. Yesterday she made a derogatory statement - msmt

[ In Reply To ..]
towards people from the South and there are a lot of people in the management from the South. She needs to be very careful. Can't we all just get along?

You just might be one of - the most annoying people on this board

[ In Reply To ..]
That's quite a feat, on a board full of cranky old women.

Grats!

I'm new to MM also - in my second week - have already been taken off training - last week sucked because I hadn't added in my shortcuts - I work full time - only did 2000 lines for the whole week - (straight typing) - haven't been trained on VR yet. This week - 2 days worked and I've done just over 2000 lines...again straight typing. My acct is in FL - hope that helps...

I would be very careful posting your actual wages on this board - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm pretty sure that broadcasting your wages on a public forum is a violation of employee policy and might be a way of identifying you as a poster on this board. MM would LOVE to find out who we all are. Be careful about giving ANY information that might identify you and wages might be a key component if your pay scale is unique to just you.

Just sayin'. :)

yeah I was gonna say - slave wages

[ In Reply To ..]
Nothing will get you in trouble faster.

Thanks - VRMT

[ In Reply To ..]
Thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize it was a problem. I have taken down my post that had my line rate.

Good move ... we have to look out for each other :) - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
I absolutely LOVE that MM doesn't know who we are when we post - but if we post even one little clue (especially one that is in violation of our employment agreement) it could open up a huge problem, even termination. I always pay close attention to the "detail" about myself that I post here (city, nickname, wages, etc) because I know they could be breadcrumbs to figuring out who I am.

Unfortunately, that many lines only pays less than minimum wage in my state. - dnr

[ In Reply To ..]
If I did that many lines straight typing in a day, which I could, I would early 250% more. :(

I get 95% to 99% ASR a day, of which I retype probably, on average, 30% to 50% of the document. Frustrates me to no end because I feel I should get paid for my work, and when I am retyping that much of the ASR, IMO it should be F11 type. Unfortunately, giving them free retyping is the only way I can get any "ASR" production - which still ends up only minimum wage.

Hmm..not many willing to share. - VRMT

[ In Reply To ..]
I wish more people were willing to share, but oh well. I have so far made $5.50 an hour today and I am really ready to call this quits. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

When doing VR, which of course is 98% of the time, I keep my hands at the bottom of the keyboard, left hand near Cntl, right hand hovering over the arrow keys. Since there is a lot of deleting to do, you have to reach up to the top right corner of the laptop to press delete. Of course I always have to look to make sure I don't accidentally hit insert. It's so annoying. Is there an easier way that I'm not thinking of? Any suggestions would be SOOOO app ...

Hi fellow MTs. As we all know, this board can sometimes be full of negative things, and many MTs who once had a good career in this field are experiencing changes that have negatively affected them and their pay and their lives. My heart does go out to these people; however, I thought it would be fun to talk about some positives we have experienced in this field, even if we would no longer recommend the field to a new person. Personally, I have been an MT for 5-1/2 years, and ...

and now some are calling it a hoax. I have spent most of the day talking to UE and my states Food Share Program. Working from home for so long, I wanted to share my news with my fellow MTs. I thought they would understand how I felt. I appreciated some of the MTs wishing me luck, but I am surprised and sad to see that so many have become so "cold" that they can't even open their minds and believe someone. I still wish all MTs the best of luck. I will be fine. Even, at my age, they can ...

There are times I do enjoy the work. However, I have a few failed audits, performance management for lines, and NJA, so lately not too thrilled. I just wish it would get better. Sometimes I too would like to quit, but just keep plugging along. For me, at least it is some income adding to the pot, and that is a blessing. I often wonder would I save more money not working-dinner out due to no time to cook, lunch out due to no time for grocery store-you know the drill. Anyhow, trying to have ...
