Gets to confusing with the space bar and I have accidently inserted things that were not supposed to be there. I use the ~ for phrases and the for words.
If you have questions, feel free to e-mail. I have had IT for a long time and love it.

QA markers
I do QA and as long as I think the MT made a good effort to get the blanks, then I don't have a problem with trying to figure out the rest. Obviously we don't like swiss cheese reports either, but sometimes it just takes another set of ears to make the whole thing come together. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 sets of ears before we can get it down to few enough blanks to send to the facility. These doctors who slur whole sentences together in one mangled word should be getting some kind of feedback from the MT vendors. Legally, we shouldn't fill in those kinds of sentences because we never really heard what he/she said!

Yes, you can set your own markers sm
I did not use spacebar because I use Auto Correct too and that works on the spacebar.
gene markers
Hi I don't know where to post this. I have just spent several hours looking for web sites that list the many different tumor/gene/biomarkers for cancer screening, especially, but not limited to, breast cancer such as:
What are the 21 genes profiled on the Oncotype DX 21-gene panel?
What are the 76 genes profiled on the Mammaprint® 76-gene panel.
What are the 70 genes profiled on the Mammaprint® 70-gene panel?
I type for all cancer types and have found some helpful web sites explaining cancer screening and tumor markers but have not found any sites that simply just list them.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
I tried the permanent markers...sm
they don't work. They start to wear off within two days! Thanks for the info about the stickers.
Jump markers in Word
Can you please tell me how you created these in Word. Still trying to figure that out. TIA!
markers...I settled on semicolon (sm)
for phrases and the straight brackets, i.e. [, and ], for the word markers after playing around with it. I kept hitting the shift key when I tried to use / as a marker. For times when I want to use a semicolon, I made a short form jj (and now I don't remember why, but there WAS a reason, lol).
Anyway what's important is that you settle on what's comfortable for you. The markers were a big change for me, too. Good luck and keep trying! You can do it!
Bayscribe jump markers?
Is there a way to put a jump marker in Bayscribe? I have looked through all the information I was given and even checked their website, but I can't find this anywhere. I'm trying to make some shells and would like to have this feature if possible. Thanks.
Instant Text users. Do you use markers.. sm
I am new to IT and so far am using my space bar as it is what I am accustomed to but realize there are lots of reasons to use markers. Just curious how many of you use markers and how many use the space bar and what your opinions might be. Thanks!
I use markers. i use semi-colon for pharses, which is where i put all my shortcuts at. sm
works a whole lot better than spacebar and only took me about a week to get used to the change when i switched from spacebar. FYI, i don't keep my thing open at the bottom either like some say they do. i move it to where i can't see it and just use memory so that i can go faster without selecting 1 or 2 or whatever pops up down there.
10 reports/hour or 25 markers/hour
