How do you calculate how many lines you type per hour?

When I started, pay was great. There were incentives. But now, there is a new way to calculate our lines and the incentive is gone. Who knows more about this company? Did this happen to you? ...

With decades of experience as an MT, I'm just now getting into VR. I'd like to know, if you would please care to share, just how many lines per hour you are able to get with VR. I know this varies from person to person and platform to platform, but please, help me out with this! I'm terrified I'm going to go broke doing this! Thanks in advance. ...

I don't have much to compare to, as this is the only company I've worked for as an editor. I wanted to get an idea of the different platforms we each use and our lines per hour. Talking only about editing and not straight typing, what do you average lph and what platform do you use? Thank you! ...

Trying to get an idea of how much I should be aiming for (working on building my speed). How many lines per hour do you average? (No VR or anything like that...just normal transcription). Thanks!! ...

Hi! Just wanted to know... I have been told by others who are QA/editors that you dont always get paid by the line or by hour... some places pay them differently. I dont understand how else you can get paid, that doesnt make any sense to me. Anyone know anything about this? I want to be an editor eventually but would like to at least make more than what I did when I transcribe. thoughts? Thanks! Jiles ...

What is reasonable on the new account for which they are hiring? Any feedback is appreciated. ...

I was just offered a position with a company requiring 350 lines/hour. Is this easily achievable. My current line count is usually between 200-250. ...

I have been promoted to QA and was wondering what the average line count you that do QA get in an hour or a day. I have been doing this for a few months and I am making about the same amount of money per month as I was with MT. Am I being too slow? I am afraid to speed it up for fear of missing something. My workload is about 50% fill in blanks and scan and 50% listen and read along full audit stuff. Right now I am averaging 400 to 450 lines an hour or 3200 to 3600 a day. I was hoping to make a ...

My accounts were recently switched from typing to mostly ASR...I'm really struggling here! It seems like I take longer to edit jobs than to type them out. (Of course, it would help if the ASR program was more accurate). Why is this so hard for me? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ...

Can anyone tell me what the average lines per hour average for either Nuance or MModel ...

I'm just thinking back to that whoever person that posted on here about a week or two ago that says he or she easily makes $16 to $18 an hour at Nuance and has plenty of work and always gets paid on time. A lot of replies said the poster is probably a fake and is someone from Nuance management or human resources who is desperate for people to hop on board. I posted that it would be impossible to make $16 as an MT at Nuance, for you'd have to be nearly bionic in terms of yo ...

How many lines per hour do you average doing straight typing? I used to get paid by the hour. The job I'm interviewing for is straight typing. I know many factors come into play, but what is average? ...

Can someone please tell me the lines per hour requirements as an MME for each of the following? Thank you, I do not have e-mail with those requirements and needed to know. Thanks again!! TranscriptionASR/editing whatever they call itStraight QA ...

Hi, I seem to struggle with line counts (a few years into MTing). Some accounts I am fine with and some very slow. Because of the nature of the work (and working from home), I have no way to gauge if the faster accounts are just abnormally easy or the slower accounts are abnormally hard. - Do you all (who have decent line counts) feel like you are moving like a mad person or just moving along at a decent pace? Any ideas on how to tell what my issues are or what the scoop is?&n ...

I'm new at my first job. I'm not earning much. How many lines (at 65 keystrokes) should I be realistically be doing per hour? Thanks ...

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but how many lines on average would you say you can edit with ASR per hour? I think the most I have ever been able to do was around 250 myself. I just wondered how I measured up with other MTs with the ASR jobs. I remember a couple of years ago not long after MQ started up with ASR getting a company email describing an MT (no name was given) who could edit over 600 lines per hour and over 400 with straight transcription. ...

I've been MIA for 2 weeks but may have to return to work tomorrow....sigh. I was checking emails and saw the line requirement. ...

OK...someone enlighten me please. When did the minimum LPH go to 186? Did I miss something in any of the various webinars? Work faster, produce more lines, work more efficiently, make less errors, correct the MDs errors, work outside your shift regularly if you run out of work on regular shifts, help your fellow employees -- all for less pay. I'm ABSOLUTELY frustrated :( ...

What are your lines per hour being computed on, total system hours or total clocked hours? I think it used to be total system hours, which are usually less than clocked hours, meaning a higher line count per hour. ...

Just wondering. I always typed either per minute or per page. ...

Was it 125 or 150? Thanks! ...

Does anyone know how Nuance figures lines per hour. We just moved to production pay and I'll be damned if I can figure out how they determine LPH. What I see in EditScript and what they tell me are completely different but there is no rhyme or reason to it. Seems like a crap shoot - I never know how I'm doing. Thanks for any input. ...

and is that straight/VR or both? Thanks! ...

How many lines per hour are most people averaging right now on this platform? I am getting a mixture of straight type /VR that varies daily. They have not shown us any reports of how everyone is doing as a group. I don't think I can make the quota in 8 hours to qualify for benefits. I am trying. We have open enrollment for insurance ending November 30. The 1st week in December, they will tell us what the pay plan is for the future. Granted, insurance ra ...

I was wondering if any of the larger producers of VR can tell me approximately low many lines you are averaging per hour. I can't get past 400 no matter how I try. Thanx ...

Have not done VR since I worked for the M. Is the above platform easy to use because you would have to be flying through reports at today's going pay rates. ...

I just want to know how to keep lines per hour up if they can't even fix flaws in their software. This is like expecting a car mechanic to fix a car without the proper tools, like a surgeon without his instruments, like a pianist without a piano, like a photographer without film, like a painter without paint, like a gas station attendant without a pump, like a seamstress without a needle, like a mailman without mail, like a skydiver without a parachute, l ...

I need some information on what companies require for LPH for VR. The place I work for requires an insane amount. I more than likely am going to get raked over the coals this week for not meeting my quota (it is over 500 lines an hour). Any information would be helpful to present to HR. ...

Hi, could anyone post what your lines per hour have been for the editing on BeyondTXT? What would be considered good? ...

Does any one have any requirements for editing for an 8-hr shift? I know for straight typing is usually required to type 1200-1500. Thanks in advance. ...
