Relistening

If I were you, I would stop relistening and only going back to proof. I find that, even now, when I proof that sometimes I have left a word out. Then I go back and relisten to that part only. I receive excellent QA scores by doing that. I also do as the other poster suggested; I use a word Expander for windows to place in repetitive words or phrases, to correct words that I mistype. That will help with your line count also. Any little bit helps! Best Wishes to you in picking up your speed!

Yes you probably get better QA relistening so I guess I will go with what happens in QA. I have been
okay so far but lets face it, we all make mistakes and have bad days. I guess I will just go with the flow and see what happens. I guess a lot depends on how picky QA wants to be with little nothing things like commas, etc.
I think relistening to a certain client until you
are very used to them is a good idea. Just put it on high speed and go over it. That won't take near as much time. I am QA and I can most certainly tell the difference between those who relisten or at least reread and those who do not.
I quit relistening to everything after about 2 weeks...
Now I just edit as I type. I've gone back occasionally and relistened just as a 'quality check' on myself and it is always correct. Also my QA is fine so I don't relisten to everything anymore. You'll get close to twice as much done if you don't relisten! Give it a try for a day or two and see how it goes. I know it made me nervous at first to send on a report without relistening, now I don't think twice about it. Good luck!
I find that by rewinding and relistening to the dictation as I proofread...sm
I will find a few little things I missed that I wouldn't catch just by proofing because it actually made sense but I might have missed something.
