Can anyone suggest the best way to decipher a dictator who is a mumbler or speaks very fast. I have changed the speed and listen over and over and still can't figure it out. Wish there was a magic dicipher machine.

I work in a hospital and they voted x2 as an unacceptable abbreviation. We currently have to spell it out. We also have to spell out q as every, qid as four times daily, bid as two times daily and so on and so on. I would ask the dictator or your QA person before making a final decision.

Characters would be less for 1-9 as opposed to one through nine. It also depends on client preference. It is hard to train your fingers to do one or the other. I am old-school and have always done one through nine, 10, 11, 12, and so on. I have to retrain my fingers. I also have an account that requires I type the 1st the time the patient came in, and the other requirest the first time the patient came in.
