Sallie, sm

In Reply to: Questions for you - Sallie

I am new at it. The platform is supposedly the best one, Dictaphone. I get 4.5 for VR whether I have to type most of it nor not. I'm making half of what I made typing and/or editing human typists.

I will never get fast enough at it to retype sentence after sentence. For instance, in a sample sentence, only half of the words are correct.

The formatting is completely wrong. The headers need to be all caps. The words are being left out and other words are added in.

I'm pretty sure you could go faster if you didn't care about the accuracy. That's just not me.
