line counting software - 65 characters per line - ejt
Posted: Sep 29, 2010
I need help with a software line counting program. Excel is acceptable, but I am not sure how to use that aspect. Any help would be appreciated. This is for 65 characters per line with no spaces. Can't that be done in Microsoft Word as well?
In Word just click on the "Word Count" (sm) - OTE

It will give you the character count with spaces and without. Take the amount WITHOUT spaces, divide by your 65 character and voila!

After that I would suppose you multiply it by what they are paying per line, right? That doesn't come to very much.

Would You Work For $0.05 A Line, Based On 65-characters With Spaces? Nov 13, 2009I have been offered a job with a company for clinic notes, which are the easiest.

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. I work for a company that does transcription in Microsoft Word. Of course you can check your line counts in word, but this company says that isn't right and we have to take the number of characters and spaces and divide by 65 and that is our line count, which is always less than what Word says. Can anybody remember why it's different? Thanks. ...

Question Regarding Line Counting Jul 30, 2010I'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.

TT Line Counting 2 Different Programs Oct 18, 2010Anyone 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 Found This Old Post On Line Counting...which I Truly Believe Dec 20, 2011You 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 ...
Speech Recognition Line Counting Oct 24, 2013My 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 ...
