How Much Are You Making? Feb 21, 2010Hey everyone. I am just curious as to what everyone makes these days (if you are being paid by the line) and how long should you stay at that rate before you ask for more/raise your price?
I've been at 12 cents per line for the past 3.5 years and I don't know how much more I should ask for. I don't want to ask for too much, yet I don't want to sell myself short. I am just thankful to even have my job so I don't want to rub anyone the wro ...
To Me2 Making 40K Jun 17, 2010Just have to ask, how much ASR do you do? Are you able to fly through at high speed without going back to proof and still getting strong audit? Do you have several dictators with several formats or a handful with all the same format?
Your credentials are impressive but there are only so many things you can do to make that kind of money anymore and it is painful for me to know you are able to make that much at the same company, doing the same kind of work.
Also, how much time would you say you ...
Making More Than Me Nov 29, 2010Just found out through the grapevine that someone was hired at my company at a higher cpl that I was offered. I have been there since June and was offered a low rate compared to most MTSO companies. But it did get me off the midnight shift at a different company, which I would have stayed with had I been given the opportunity to change shifts. She was offered 2 cpl more for straight and 1.75 cpl more for ASR. I also have more years in the profession than she does, a ...

Now my company is transitioning over and I'm contemplating running for the door. I don't see how it's possible to make any money when you get paid half the cpl that you would make for transcribing. I generally transcribe as fast as the dictator talks (unless they're really crappy, of course). You stil ...

Do You Any MTs Making $50,000 Or More Per Year? Nov 11, 2009Does anyone know personally of any MT who makes $50,000 a year or more?

Only in my dreams. LOL. ...
TO THOSE MAKING THE BUCKS Nov 12, 2009To those making 50+ K a year:
I'm glad to know that in this industry it is still possible to make a decent living! I LOVE transcription! I've been an at-home MT for about 5 years and see the potential, but seem to get easily distracted being at home and get restless and can't sit still.
What is it that you are doing to stay focused on your work? Is it really about working weekends and second, third shifts? Please share! I'm stuck at around 25K, when ...
This NP Is Making Me Crazy!!! Nov 21, 2010Honest to Pete, this woman has no clue about pronunciation. A couple of reports ago she's reading a radiology report and says very clearly "primitive destruction" and then goes on to spell it "permeative." Those are two very different words and to me have very different pronunciations.
Now she's on a patient who has had chemoradiation therapy, "altima" and zometa. Umm, you mean Alimta?
It's going to be a long afternoon. ...

The Q Must Be Making A Lot Of Money Off Me. Feb 13, 2011I calculated my hourly pay for this week. Mind you, I gave it all my effort every day this week. Drum roll..... I made $6 per hour. Because we have to be paid at least minimum wage, I get paid $8 per hour. My accounts are 99% ASR. I have been getting paid minimum wage for sometime now. If they weren't making plenty of money off me, they would have let me go some time ago. ...
I Need Help With Making VR Work For Me... Mar 17, 2011I'm really apparently missing the magic that is needing to make VR work for me. Please if there is someone out there that can provide me with some insight on this, I would be forever grateful. I am struggling with getting to even 150 lph which is overwhelmingly disheartening given that prior to recently having to become a traditional employee again due to a massive life change after 20+ years as a small business owner of a small MTSO I was QAing and/or typing upwards of 250 ...

Anyone Besides Me Who Is New At Nuance And Not Making It Jul 26, 2011I really would like to hear from anyone who has been there for a matter of days to 2 months. I am going on my 3rd week now and I am NOT making any headway at all, though the money is better than my other job. Also, do we get paid for headers and footers. I feel like I am typing and typing and get a lousy 44 lines sometimes...

Then ...
EVERY MT Should Be Making $70K Per Year Nov 22, 2011That's right! If you are working FT as an MT and are NOT making at least $70,000 per year, you are either:
* Lazy/Not ambiious or determined enough. Your skill set is low and you haven't beefed it up with extra classes, etc. because you are INDOLENT.
* Stupid/Sloppy: Your quality sucks, your work is rife with errors, you are not a "perfectionist."
* You are a loser with low self-esteem, otherwise you would be commanding and getting 0.12 per line for your ...
For Those Making Little Money (or Who've Had A Big Cut In Pay) - Sm Feb 23, 2012Day after day, I read comments here about people making less than minimum wage... or women who used to make a solid middle class living at this who now cry when they look at their W2... or who made in 2011 what they made in 1993.
I'm curious to know why you continue to put up with this. What is holding you back from seeking a better situation? What are your circumstances?
Do you have low self-esteem? Trapped in Appalachia with 2 hours to the closest hospital? ...

Making Lemonade.... Mar 07, 2013So instead of sitting here wallowing when I run out of work, I've decided to turn these lemons into lemonade. Sort of a bracing reality check came to me when I thought to myself how a man would never put up with this crap. And by "this crap" I mean the NJA, among other things. Do you ever think about that? A man in this position would not be in this position long. That's just the way they're built. They're not going to sit around the house, cryin ...
