I agree that realtime hookup should pay more, afterall, you are writing "naked." After taking an expert with realtime hookup, I thought to myself, "No way is this worth only $1.00 a page!" From now on I tell the agencies I charge $1.50 for expert hookups.

Audrey,<br />
What kind of connection are you using with the extra laptop? I downloaded Bridge yesterday but it didn't have much info on how to connect. I'm assuming that a stenocast device would be the easiest, but I don't know what other options there are.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Last I heard (see the <a href="http://www.cheapandsleazy.net/index5.html" target="_blank">01SEP08 update</a>), Stenovations seems to be making the most effort in getting the Bridge protocol working. Other vendors (ProCAT, AristoCAT, and LiveNote) are "interested in implementing it" in their software. Haven't heard anything since, though.<br />

Bridge works with any software at there. The screen will only refresh if you are using Eclipse.<br />
<br />
But Eclipse has offered up the programming codes to the other major vendors, and I think they might be looking in to updating/tweaking their software so that it will refresh w/Bridge.

I have no idea if my real-time rates are competitive for my area. I was kind of surprised that CA rates were lower given the cost of living differences. Marge, I'm the only one in the office that is willing to do the RD and RT work in my very small office. Our RT rates are almost the price of an extra copy sale. How does that compare with rates across the nation? That might be a good way to compare apples to apples given that rates vary so widely.<br />

I recently got a call from a national firm who wanted to do the production and billing for a last-minute all-day rough draft medical job. I told them upfront that I couldn't allow them to do the production and billing--whether their business practices WERE violating or anticontracting laws or not, their business practices of charging more than our market was used to was starting to cause our copy sales to decline. They agreed. I got my books cleared with other reporters so I could take the job. A manager of the national firm called back at 4:30 to tell me that they were going to have to call around and find somebody that would take the job since they HAD to do the production and billing for this new client. I ended up losing a day's work for nothing but the satisfaction of being able to tell this scheduler exactly what I thought of her company's business practices and how they were affecting our market, followed up with a "Don't ever call me again."<br />

I charge expedited if I'm called a week after I take the job and they want it the next day. I probably haven't even started on it by that time, so it's going to be an overnighter--and I charge overnight rush rates. This has come up a couple of times this year alone. Both times the attorney decided to order a rough draft instead of the overnight rush--I called opposing counsel and one time they ordered the rough, too.

If they say "in a few days" or "as soon as you can get it to me," I'll try to move them to the front of what I'm doing and get it to them as I can without staying up at night working on it or giving up any depos during the days--if I can, I will; but, no, no working all night because on the 5th business day they call and want it "in the morning," or some such.

Kelli - you can do this easily. It's called TeleView, also made by Eclipse. It's not as pretty as Bridge, but if they're in NY and you're in CA, all that you need is an internet connection and the TeleView software on YOUR end, I believe. The attorney then just logs onto an IP address you give him, and the text is in front of him. I don't think he can keep the text, so you'd have to e-mail it when you're done, but that's all there is to it. You do have to purchase the number you want, but start…

I charge 1.00 for the rough and 1.50 per hookup for realtime. Expedited rates aren't charged for anything over a week's turnaround.
