average line count is per day? - Oldtimer


Posted: Apr 28, 2010

Can anyone tell me what their average line count is per day? (just the total not separated between work type).  Im not trying to be nosey and I don't know who any of you are personally, I'm just trying to get an idea where I stand compared to everyone else here.  I have been at Medquist for many years and seen many changes.  Over the years, my line count has gone up and my pay has gone down.  I am trying to determine if the reason is mostly me or mostly medquist changes and if this is something I can improve on or if it is finally time to move on.   Thanks.

Well I've been here about 10 years. Back before ASR I think 1400 to 1800 lines per day (FT) was the norm for me.

After ASR, still about the same lines or slight more but less pay, of course.

And I know you know it ALL depends on too many things on what anyone's line count will be. The dictator, the sound quality, familiar or unfamiliar accounts.

I, too, have noticed that I work harder. I still make about the same as I always have, just have to work MUCH harder for it.

Hope that helps a little.

Line Count...

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. ...
