oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm

• dumb question. sm - Aunt Bea
  • depends how often you're correcting - yourself
  • I correct it on the spot... - Kate
  • It's like a tic with me. I can't help it. I correct it then. That is BAD for productivity. nm - Becky
  • I go back and correct it but I also write - Just me
    • If I can remember, I like to use the "autocorrection" feature in Word that adds it to AC SM - Becky
  • Errors - old time MT
    • that is pretty much how I feel, just wondered if I was wasting time. nm - Aunt Bea
      • I agree with old time MT -- best to fix it when you see it and not rely totally on spellcheck. sm - LTMT
  • It's a good idea to run a spell check - on every report. I'd wait til I was finished.

misleading everyone.  The majority of MTSOs pay by a 65 character lines.  Paying for spaces or not paying for spaces is usually the only variant between companies.  You come on here and say that you tyhpe 3000 a line a day and leave it at that.  Don't say how many hours your work, how long your lines are, etc.  That is misleading!

I probably am typing 3000 gross lines a day in my eight hour day if I were coutning gross lines.  For fun, I think on my next work day, I'm going to jot down my gross line count in each document and add it up at the end of the day and compare it to my actual line count.  I'll let everyone know what the difference is.

Geez!  Really burns me up when people get on here at start spouting out nonsense as if it were fact and we should all be in awe of their skills and expertise!  For future reference, the truth lies in the details.  You can't just say you do 3000 lines a day and leave it at that.  Notice when I posted below how many lines a day I do, I added that I work a strictly 8 hour day and that my lines are 65 characters with spaces.

Give accurate and detailed information people, PLEASE!

Hi all ... yesterday I started a new job - hospital MT, decent pay, great location. But guess what - the program is so old there is no medical spellcheck in it!  And the old lady that works the other shift, who's had the job for light years, does not use the AutoCorrect feature of MSWord!  The boss told me feel free to use it (thank God) - but can you imagine that?????   Any advice ? 

Thanks guys!

I am working on a VR system doing editing - however when I run the spellcheck anything that has been changed shows up with all of the incorrect letters wherever they happened to be along with the correct word or phrase that has been corrected.  In other words if the word is not spelled correctly, I erase the word and type in the correct spelling, but in the spell check both show up.  Does anyone know how to turn off this function or if there is a way to turn it off?  It is driving me crazy - along with trying to learn to edit and the VR system.  Other than that - all is fine with the program.

There's PLENTY that spellcheck doesn't pick up - punctuation errors, possible omissions of prepositions and other words.....

So, if you strictly depend on Spellcheck - you're not ALL THERE!!!  *lol*

I'd never leave anything 100 percent up to some machine or program/software/hardware, et al. 

Throughout the day pick random reports to read completely just to check up on myself.  My QA scores are always well above the required 98%.  I could not get the line counts I do if I reread everything.
