Subject: blanks

I agree with the other post.  I have leaving blanks, but sometimes you have to.  You absolute cannot guess at something.  It is better to leave a blank than to guess, otherwise it is a bad reflection on you as an transcriptionist to try to guess and then have it be wrong.

is it okay to put many blanks throughout the document if I'm not exactly sure what he is saying and some things he says make absolutely no sense? (sometimes 2 per paragraph in places) Is it okay to put a blank so he checks that word to make sure its right? these are 9 page long psych reports. It's not cut and dried medical terms and phrases. I'm thinking I should put blanks just to make sure it's right instead of typing what i think he is saying. what do you do
