If there is any suggestion of target setting for transcribers I for one will quit. I had quite enough of that when I was working thankyou very much. To my mind setting targets can sometimes only be achieved at the expense of accuracy. I transcribe because I want to and how much I manage to do during a week or a month depends on what other interests/committments I have as well as running a house and I am quite happy with my own output and couldn't care less about what other people's output is - it strikes me that too many people want to make things more complicated for those transcribing - forgive the sarcasm but could those wanting to make life difficult be managers in another life!
