What is your typical daily average lph for VR? sm - QTpie

Posted: Dec 27, 2011

Please post what your typical lph is for VR and how long you have been working.

I'm at 175 lph and I seem to be stuck there. I have been working 9 months.

On a good day, I can do anywhere between 300-400. That is if I am focused and I am going at it one report after the other AND I have good dictators. Sometimes I am just not into it, and I will do about 3 or 4 reports, get up, come back and start working again. But my norm is usually about 250 or so. I do only clinics if that makes a difference.

375 to 500, varies according to doctor nm - justme

Today ranged from 290-475, according to dictator. You must have some hard dictators.

VR line count - Alice

There doesn't seem to be a standard answer to this question.

All of my jobs have been on the EditScript platform.

At one job, I could reach as high as 500 lph on dictators that were clear and well known by a well-trained system. Unfortunately, the company lost that account due to the hospital client purchasing a point-and-click system.

At the job I have now, I have not yet reached 150 lph. When the job was offered to me, and they named a very low minimum line count, I thought it would be so easy. I asked them why the required hourly line count was so low and they really didn't answer my question. In retrospect, I am 100% sure that they knew the answer, but were skirting the issue. It turns out that the account is so full of horrible dictators (some ESL, but most not), that I don't know that I'll ever reach the minimum, which is well under 200 lph for VR. The other thing is that I am required to work how ever many hours it takes to reach the daily required line count for the number of hours I'm supposed to work and then claim only my scheduled total of hours on my timesheet. I think this is totally illegal and I'm on the verge of quitting yet another major MTSO.

I submitted an application yesterday to work in the dietary department of my local hospital. It would pay more than I'm making now.

Alice: The timesheet issue happens at many - companies. I think it is SM

illegal too, but obviously they have found a loophole for this. I think it is done so they don't have to pay minimum wage to MTs. I work well over 40 hours a week and I am only PT. Because I am not a speed demon and VR takes so much time with quite a few of the dictators, I can only put in hours which equate to about 200 lph. If it takes me 5 hours instead of 4 to make 800 lines, I can only put 4 on my timesheet (this is just an example) so don't diss me for the low lines. It really only matters because of the Dept. of Labor IMO.

Hello all, I am just wondering if all of you can tell me what you feel is pretty 'typical' for a line count per day.

I am sure I will be slow at first, so I want to have some idea of where I am at. Thanks!! ...

I currently work for a clinic system who, it seems, is trying to usher us out the door so I've been looking at online companies. It seems plenty pay by the line but I have NO clue how many lines per hour I can even do because the only number my place of employment gives us is average minutes per hour for an entire month (our bare minimum is 12 min/hr). So I am curious to know what sort of average lines per hour you ladies can do? We really cannot afford for me to take a hu ...

I'm re-applying to MQ as I desperately need a job. My question is, are you all able to make at least $10.00 per hour still?? I ask because in searching around, it looks like $10.00 is the best I'm going to be able to do. I do radiology so I will probably end up doing a lot of editing which I have never done before, so I'm just curious to see if $10.00 is realistic doing both straight typing and/or editing? Any info appreciated. Such a shame that its c ...
