How do you proofread as you type?
I believe one of the reasons my productivity is substandard is because I go back through every dictation, re-read it, and sometimes have to return to the dictation. I want to produce as close to 100% accuracy as I can. However, my supervisor tells me to PROOF WHILE I TYPE? Huh? How do you DO that? and type with any kind of speed? Thanks for any advice!
proofread your post
acutally????? The last LOL is on you!
No, you're supposed to proofread everything
because you are too lazy to proofread. Blame it on VR if you want to, but those people need to find another *profession*.
This is an issue of an MT not having confidence in her abilities. You can proofread while you SM
type. I've been doing it for years. I only re-read reports that the dictator is extremely nonsensical, can't put a sentence together to save his/her life, or if the dctator just seems like they don't know what they are doing. But other than that, I feel pretty confident that I put out accurate reports. I generally get 99-100% on my QA evals and I'm one the high producers in my department.
I've trained many a Transcriptionist who double, triple, even quadruple check everything they type because they just don't trust themselves. If you are a newbie, I can understand not trusting yourself yet, but generally if you've been doing this for more than 2 years, you should know what you're doing and you should trust yourself. If you don't, then you're in the wrong business. Unfortunately, we are in a profession were we are expected to be both accurate and productive. If you have a problem achieving both, then again you're in the wrong profession.
I totally agree! I still proofread every report...sm
before hitting submit and haven't had any critical mistakes. I'm not saying my work is perfect 110% of the time, but whose is? The main offenders are the one that should be reprimanded. The reason I mentioned QA is because the majority of MTs on this account are on 100% QA.
Just remember... proofread! You had a bunch of typos in that long-winded post!
