counting down the days till I am out of here

I'm hoping to transition out of MT this summer and I just can't wait. Just got nitpicked over how many spaces I put after periods. Really?! BOS says 1 or 2 is fine as long as you're consistent. Sick of listening to the ESL dictator who replaced a prolific dictator that spoke English clear as a bell. Had it with the folks who make up abbreviations that don't exist (HLD = Hyper Lipi Demia?), the people who don't spell difficult names, and the dictators that are so ...

Don't you just love it. We're supposed to be sitting here with one foot in the air, ready to reply immediately to any e-mails sent out by our managers, but apparently what's good for the goose isn't good for the minions.9 days ago I e-mailed my boss, her boss, AND the person in HR who handles our group, letting them know of an impending situation for which I am going to need some time off.Can you hear the crickets chirping? I can, and that's all I can hear. ...

I think I may have seen this discussed on here before but I can't seem to find the posts. I am looking for a good line counting/word counting program. TIA for any and all suggestions! ...

I always considered "till" to refer to the act of plowing earth and have always changed it to until, but now I don't know if this is correct. Also, do you change "though" to "although"? (I'm not talking about when someone says "even though", but when they say something like, "Though the prosthesis seemed a bit too long" Any thoughts? ...

Care to elaborate on some things. I'm trying to figure out a pattern to the layoffs. When were you let go? What tier level? Higher end of tier pay or lower end? What region? How many hours? Was it a state that they had to pay up to 4 hours? There has to be a pattern to all of this, and it could help those of us hanging by a thread. ...

At this time, there is no plan to proceed with surgery for resection of 1 of the lesions for "til" harvest. ...

Anyone know of a good software that automatically counts your character/line for you... Other than the word count feature in Microsoft? I am looking software that you can load all the files and folders in, and it computes the grand total. This will save me time, and maybe I can keep better track of what I am making in each payperiod. Thanks to anyone who can help. ...

Looking for MTs out there that work from home and type directly into patient EMR record. Do you then charge by the line and if so, how do you count your document if you have typed it directly into EMR? ...

I have used Abacus SE for years, but it has started messing up and is not counting all reports. I was going to reinstall the software, but it is apparently no longer available. Is there a good, simple-to-use line counting software that will include headers (including headers on the second page - I've found Sylcount does not do that)? Thanks! ...

Is there a line-counting software that is very accurate and that will count doctors individually? I have an account with three doctors. They require a breakdown of each doctor's amount when I bill. I currently use FlashCount, which doesn't have this feature, unless I just cannot figure it out. ...

count subfolders separately? I need to provide a total line count for 3 doctors, but with a breakdown and separate total for each doctor. The only software I can find does not have this feature. I have to count each doctor separately and then manually add it up and create the invoice. ...

Mistake of working for friend doing subcontracting. I am paid 13 cpl but very hard to hear doctor; it's on tape, takes forever to type. Main issue is that she says I should use Wordperfect's line count, but when I recently compared it to my line counter, Practicount, there is a difference - not huge but enough that it's bothering me. Question is does anyone know if Wordperfect's line counting is correct and includes spaces? TIA. ...

I've started monitoring my line counts against what my company comes up with on a few random reports. I have a couple questions: - I've counted lines vs characters with both my company's line counter, and the Microsoft Word line counter (In the top toolbar: "Tools", "Word Count"). There's a slight discrepancy, and I wondered if any of you notice the same amount of difference: If counting lines, Microsoft comes up with considerably more than my compan ...

I've been a transcriptionist for 15 years now and just the last year working at home being paid by line. My new boss thinks I'm screwing them over with my lines and wants to discuss with me next week about how I shouldn't be getting paid for certain documents. So my question is this. Some of the doctors when doing a discharge summary for example will have me take the admission h&p and then add the discharge onto the end of it. I will probably ...

Anyone noticing differences in the counts of these 2 programs that TT has? First the MT monitor WAS giving better counts than Ichart. Now after months it is reverse. I get the feeling that it is being reprogrammed so we get shortchanged--as usual. Years ago working for a small company we had an account that gave you 5 lines for the demographics and the hidden footer was 1 line. Then the big company came along, TS from Georgia, and THEIR program conde ...

I am going to be starting a new job and they use Sylcount to count lines in MS Word. How different is this compared to just using the line counter built in MS Word? Thanks for any info...have never used anything other than MS Word for counting lines in my eight years of transcription! ...

Does anyone have any knowledge of what this qasar dep line counting means? the technology part of the email states something to the fact that it replaces the old line counting method. geez, i cannot keep up with their terminology and then to boot they send it out on friday afternoon when they know there is no chance we could get a hold of a ccm. I have a funny feeling they are going to subtract whatever errors we have with or without an audit from our paycheck because ...

I am having trouble finding a food line counting program. I have downloaded 4 different "trial" versions and they all come out differently. I am currently working with a company who uses Sylcount and I find that they may be underpaying me because of the differences in software programs. Can anyone help. I really don't want to have to print and count lines manually even though this is a very small account. ...

Does anyone know of a line counting method or software (besides Sylcount) that will let you highlight a bunch of files at once and give you a line count breakdown for each file? ...

So far this week, I have pended 300 lines to QC -- all VR lines -- those are the *actual* lines. If counted as converted lines, then it's only 150 lines. Do they "convert" those pended lines for VR? They should - if we don't get paid for a full line of VR, then we shouldn't get charged for pending full VR lines. Dontcha think?? ...

Have any of you ever used software that counts lines produced? If so, can it be used with DocQScribe? And would it be able to count ASR? If you have any software names, can you provide them? I'm interested in verifying my line counts. I don't even know if this would be worthwhile, but I'm curious. Thanks. ...

I recently got a new computer and don't want to re-purchase my word counting app. Anybody no a free solution? IF there's more than one option, do you know which is best? Thanks! Marty ...

I am looking for software that is a free download to create an invoice from a completed document…like MP Count, which is no longer free. Does anyone know where I can find one? I have searched Google, but have come up with only trial downloads that cost after so many days or uses. Thank you in advance :) ...

You are misinformed. DocQScribe is an excellent format to work on BUT it counts in a way that will shock you. AND can change from day to day, minute to minute. The program that is used to control it is called DocQMANAGE. In DocQManage are things you will not believe. You might have access to PART of DocQManage, but not ALL OF IT. They assign a divisor which can mean that you are TOLD that you are paid on a 65 character line, but will not be. There are so many options in there for l ...

I've used Abacus Line-Counting software for at least ten or 12 years. I had to upgrade to a new computer, and I can't find the site to upgrade. Does anyone know if the company has gone out of business or how to contact them? If so, is there another line-counting software as good as Abacus? (I'm now using Windows 7 and Word 2010.) Thanks for any help you can offer. ...

I've been using Sylcount for years, but had a computer crash and am unable to get it to work on my new windows 8 computer. Does anyone have suggestions for other good (easy to use?) software for calculating word and line counts? Thanks! ...

Can anyone recommend a word/character counting software? Have used Sylcount Gold IV for years but it keeps bombing on me and I have upgraded and paid countless times. The help line is of minimal help. Thanks for anyones suggestions. Jean ...

My job is transitioning to from straight transcription to speech recognition. This is what is being offered: 0.045 per line A line is defined as 2 edited lines = 1 regular MT typing line of 65 characters So in summary, 1. My cents per line is going to be cut in half going to SR editing. 2. The edited lines is also being cut in half because it takes 2 edited lines to equal 1 transcribed line. Does this sound right? Are all companies counting lines this way? If ...
