Most medical transcriptionists are paid by the line. It is fairly standard now on your word processing program to have built in line and word counters, with or without spaces. I use Microsoft Word and it has this feature.
The normal line is usually considered to be 65 characters long. Every letter, symbol, and space between each word is included in the character count. If you are counting your lines, group together your shorter line to make one line. If you have half lines do not charge the doctor for a whole line.

When billing for medical transcription, do you take the character count minus the template or is the template normally included in the character count?
