Is this required lines of 186/hour new? - nuancemt

Posted: Jul 22, 2012

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.

I think (but don't take it as gospel) that the line requirements vary depending on the platform you are using. I think those using Escription have a higher requirement than Enterprise or Beyondtxt.

Yes, it is new. . . does depend on platform - anon

EditScript is 186 and they do not differentiate between typed and edit (not sure what they mean but she said they "add" them and it is no longer "weighted.")

Dictaphone is 143.

Not sure if there are other platforms and what the requirement is for them.

Personally, I think 186 is completely reasonable.

Enterprise5 as well. - E5

143/hour.

Is Transcend adopting this does anyone know? Now - for full time you need $900 gross per pay period o

$450 for part time per pay period. Many of us lost our benefits for not meeting the $900 per pay period.

That does not add up - anon

186 lph = 1488 lines a day (8 hours) x 10 days in pay period = 14880 lines a pay period x 0.04 cpl = $595.

Where does $900 come from?

$900 is 281 lph. NM - anon

I work for the Transcend side of the company. I still don't quite understand how the company is divided up exactly. I know that I have a different time clock system than Nuance does - at least that's what my team leader says. She seems to refer at times to Transcend as a separate entity from Nuance even though Nuance bought them out. But anyway, in order to get benefits you are required to earn a minimum of $900 gross pay to get and keep benefits for full-time MTs. Part-time is required to earn $450. They told me when I was hired that they go by the amount you earn and not LPH for benefits. But, really it all amounts to the same thing. In order to earn $900 per pay period you have to transcribe a certain number of lines. Tit for tat I say. I'm on the EditScript platform. I had no idea it varied from platform to platform.

I guess it depends on your cpl - anon

If you are making 0.4 cpl for editing (and let's not kid ourselves that is 99.9% of what we do) in order to earn $900 gross, it would be 281 lph.

Nuance definitely does not work that way. If you work your hours and get your minimums, you qualify for benefits.

I would check with payroll on this one, if I were you.

Transcend and Nuance obviosly have two different - requirements. Hopefully Transcend will

adopt Nuance's min requirements.

Well I just hope we adopt Nuance much lower - production requirement. It will

remove half the stress right there in wondering if you'll be stripped of benefits on a week to week basis.

This is strange. I just today got an email to - my region stating SM

that now 321 lph is the goal for VR (Transcend)

The goal has always been around 300, but the actual - requirement for FT or PT status is based on

gross income per pay period. Depending on your line rate will determine your line requirement. The goal lines and requirement are two different things though.

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. ...

What do you do when you have the required hours but are short lines? I got an email that I need to "make plans to have my shortage made up." The only problem is that I'm up to date with my hours for the pay period so far. The other problem is that I have plans Saturday night and Sunday (both being my scheduled time off) that don't include TransTech. It's getting harder and harder to defend this company when they can't hold up their end of the agreement and continually ...

I recently started with a new company where I am paid per minute. I am required to do at least 15 minutes of audio per hour while in training and then at least 20 minutes of audio per hour after that point as the minimum requirements. The account that I am on has dictations that are mostly 1 minute or less, fast talkers and pulling in templates. Do you think that these minimums are attainable? I know that I can do that many audio minutes on average, but I'm not used to being paid by the aud ...

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! ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 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. ...
