Everyone says with VR you can double your line count. I want to know what was their line count typing? On my account, I can type anywhere from 250 to 300 lines in an hour. I've been doing VR now for almost 2 months. I'm editing around 300 lines in an hour, however, I'm being paid 50% less. I was told I would not have to work MORE hours to make the same, but would work the SAME hours and make more. I have an extensive autocorrect and use it a lot. I'm finding that many of the drafts I get I have to fix so much, I should just retype the whole thing! It's such a waste of time to sit there and pick through a document, fixing every little comma, missing period, missing the or a.
I would really like to know if you guys would please post how long it took you to increase your line counts with VR and what your line counts typing and editing are. What is a good line count for an MT to edit in an hour on average? How much did your pay increase, as now you're making something like 4 or 5 cpl?
