Verbatim vs correct grammar
Subject: Verbatim vs correct grammar
Do you folks type your dictators verbatim including any grammar infractions or do you correct the grammatical errors? I'm talking about verb tense, run-on sentences, ending a sentence with a preposition, etc. It seems to me that corrections are interpreted by the transcription companies as errors, but all of the docs I have ever worked for have requested that I correct their grammar. How does everybody else do it?

Into or In to?
"Into is a preposition that has many definitions, but they all generally relate to direction.
On the other hand, in by itself can be an adverb, preposition, or adjective (and to by itself is a preposition or an adverb). Sometimes in and to just end up next to each other.
Maybe examples will help!

Would you put "dual isotope stress test" or "dual-isotope stress test"? I keep wanting to hyphenate "dual isotope" with the thought that it is acting as an adjective decribing the stress test, but every example I can find leaves it unhyphenated. For whatever reason, my thick head can't come up with the rationale. HELP! I transcribe for a cardiology practice, so it's kind of important, LOL!
Thanks!
