Who needs to be a 'demon' typist in this profession? It is all about Expanders and normals!

Had a speed-demon doc whose
nurse, whom I could hear in the background, asked him, "Geez, how can they understand you when you talk so fast?", and he replied, "Oh that's they way they like it!" Wonder where he got that idea? At least he talked to her so she could understand him...LOL.
Demon manager
Sounds like you need to have what we call a "sit down" with your boss and discuss your problems. Then thank her for fighting outsourcing!! The department manager I had in-house fought for me and my coworkers for a chance to go with the company they were outsouracing to....the hospital administration just wanted to can us!!!
Just keep hanging in their and have that "sit down"!!!
If good it would take me 3 hours, anything else 4-6 (not a speed demon)

Maybe she had that typist mentioned below...
You know, the "slapping pooperectomy" one?! Still kills me! 
Fastest typist in the World
Transcribing speed and typing speed are two different numbers.
Interesting link below.
I'm using Home Typist 1.40 and it's freeware.
Maybe it's the extra sounds that they charge for? I've been using Home Typist for several weeks and never got a notice it was only a trial version. Trying Googling Home Typist 1.40 and make sure that's the version you downloaded. I think you can find it at freedownload.com
If you're a fast typist,
(250-300 or more lph) you're probably going to lose money. If you're a slower typist, you might break even. It also depends on the job. Some of them take longer to edit than to just straight type.
those are set by the client but can be set differently per typist.
you can call them and ask them to set it. 0 being no backup, and up.
No, and I'm a fast typist with experience with ESL.
it depends on the ESLs, but would not recommend it.
Poor typer? is there such a word...typist ..sm
and we are not typists either, we are transcriptionists and now medical editors. if you ever worked for a newspaper or book publisher or any magazine, editing is what it's all about.
As for *poor typer* - I type 100 wpm.......but am so much faster with VR because I have XML formerly known as HTML experience for 10+ years and worked for a newspaper years ago...it all came in so handy when it came to even learning VR/ASR 2 years ago.....
Above should read "just a typist", which was the attitude I also SM
experienced when working in-house at the hospital.
If you are good enough typist to wear off letters,

Are you turning the volume using the home typist icon
or your regular volume control icon on the tool bar?
I have had that problem with some whispering dictators, so I mute the program itself just for that dictator.
It's a shame if you can't use it. I get a real rhythm going and my day just flies. I don't think I can type without it now.
YOU may be a typist for a doctor but I'm a MEDICAL LANGUAGE EXPERT!
to the poster with the "home typist" typwriter sound program....
...the program that makes typewriter sounds. The typewriter sounds are cool, but how do you hear your dictator over the sound? I have turned the volume down, but still can't hear the dictator over the typewriter sounds. I was hoping this program would help increase my speed (rhythm).
Awhile back there was a job posting for a typist to do closed-captioning TV show transcrips...sm
does anyone know the name of that company? Any information would be appreciated.
