this is a consevative estimate because I may have forgotten to track sometimes and of course by actually tracking cut my prouction way down.. I had 1093 characters or 16.81 lines rounded up to 17, which is $1.36 a day and roughly 346.8 dollars a year based on an estimate 8 cents a line and 51 weeks working. In the personal scheme of things, not a heck of a lot but it is 2-3 electric bills for me..but more importantly, multiply that bill by all the transciptionists and they are saving a ton of money..Not to mention I have worked on accounts that require a heck of a lot more ADT entering for no money..Experiment done, won't mean a hill of beans but...

Line Counts - Umber Of Characters And Spaces And Divide By 65 Jun 12, 2013Can someone help me out here ? I have forgotten the purpose of this.

Line Count And Spaces Nov 30, 2011Started working for a company just about 2 months ago. Contract states they pay for a 65 character line including spaces and bolding.

Question About 7 Cents A Line With Spaces Counted May 10, 2012I have a question: I currently make 8 cents a line, but it is VBC.
