Medical Transcription Training Resources
Information for Making Medical Transcription Your Career!
I’m not seeing a direct, clear way to charge. In Microsoft Word, when I go to word count, and there’s 39 lines, do I multiply 39 times my rate per line? Or is there an actual formula? I saw someone say to take the total number of characters on the page, divide that number by 65 and then multiply that number by the rate per line.
Can’t I just multiply my rate times the actual lines on the page, or is that too easy??

There’s an excellent article about exactly this thing — different standards of measurement used in medical transcription — on the website below. MS word counts blank lines, so it’s not a good program for counting. Check out the article, it’s very good.
