"This is somewhat unusual, but we have a client we are doing market research for that wants the video tapes transcribed. This would be for 17 nurses, at 40 minutes per interview. I am unsure how to determine the number of lines. We would provide the videotapes and would want the transcription completed in two weeks if possible. Please provide options."

"Ongoing needs will be 20-30 notes per dayThere is a backlog currently recorded on digital voice files that is between 20 to 30 hours of dictationI prefer the transcription to be done onto digital forms and transferred via an exchange server (I would supply you with a separate mail box for this purpose) Once received in this format, the "data fields" (not word processor lines)can be imported into an existing application which will do all of the necessary processing to produce reports and progress notes. I would provide your service with a blank digital form."

"I am seeing what I will need to quote for my 11 years experience to these companies who are offering me jobs left and right, and I am unsure of the cents per line to ask for as I have worked at the same hospital for the past 11 years at approximately 15 dollars an hour with other benefits, bonuses, PTO, ETO, SICK TIME, two share hospital bonuses, one at the beginning of the year around 250 and one at the end that can be anywhere from 1200 - 1350 depending on the hospital profit share and departmental goals reached. I grossed over 46,000 last year, and that was out on sick leave on base rate of 14.02 for about four weeks, and other times as well."
