thxmuch thxmuch New Member Registered: 08/04/08 Posts: 3	The application I'm filling out requires the applicant to fill in "compensation desired (be specific)". I was receiving 6.5 cents per line at a private firm. The lines were not character driven but rather carriage return determined. I know I would make a lot less at this rate with a character driven line so I would want to ask higher than that, and I do know there is usually a different rate for editing. Can you tell me what the going rates are for each type of transcription, and what I should realistically put here. Any guidelines would be appreciated.

Most companies are paying 4-5 cpl for voice recognition editing. The lower rate is because you get credit for all the lines that are generated even though you do not actually type them.

Which sucks, IMO, because I can type faster than I can edit, especially with some of the garbage VR tends to turn out. _________________________ Anne
