good job
Correcting commands in Dragon

Good Morning Ladies and Gents:


I am a reasonably expert user of Dragon, having used it for about four years. I recently bought a new computer, and put Dragon 7.30 on it. I got the new XP 64 bit. Wow, what a dream for the Dragon.


However, while I had no problem with this with my previous computer, with this one it will not follow the command "new line" when I want the cursur to drop down to the beginning of the next line.


It keeps typing the word "united." It will however follow the command "new paragraph." When I ask it to correct "united," it gives me options, none of which are the one I want.


I would appreciate any help.


Thanks,


John


depends how often you're correcting
If it is only a word once in a while that your are back spacing and correcting, that's one thing, but if you are constantly going back and correcting as you go you are losing a lot of productivity.  I try to put words I constantly misspell or mistype (like "adn" for and) in my Expander so there's not much correction.
As an IC MT, how much should I charge for correcting their mistakes?

This happens often lately, due to being new at dictation.  I never charge when it is my mistake, but lately I am wasting an hour a day making corrections to their previous reports.  Should I charge by the time it takes to make the corrections and also to reprint the report? What is the norm?


 


Thanks again!    


Correcting Dictator's Grammar

I transcribe for one professional that says statements such as: "She DID SEEM in agreement". "She DID START to cry" and "The mother DID COME BACK to the office"  My supervisor told me she doesn't care for how this sounds either and that we just need to go ahead and type it as is.  Of course I am going to abide by what my supervisor says.  Is it just "cut and dry" when transcribing to type EXACTLY what is being said? - - - I also type for another professional with a PhD who will dictate and use certain words out of context, but I know what he means to say.  Do we just TACTFULLY address individual issues like this when they arise with those who are dictating?


doing VR you get paid for reading and correcting
the mistakes, line per line, line per line.....to the end of the document.
What is there not to understand or do you think that reading and correcting mistakes is not work?
They'll NEVER learn the stuff I'm correcting
I've had to do editing of offshored work at two different places now and you see the same mistakes over and over and over. I have started to think that (a) if companies ever get rid of their US QA people they will quickly lose accounts to the non-offshoring companies and/or (b) they will get sick of paying people to edit all the time and stop the offshoring.

One can always hope.

And no, I'm not quitting my job either. I agree with it in principle, and I feel bad sometimes for not doing it "on principle" but the reality of my getting a good paycheck prevails. Alas, my children must have their school supplies and shoes.
I wasn't correcting grammer - I never heard of this before. nm

Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly.  These mistakes should not have been made.  I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you. 
As long as you're correcting people, think about "English."

Stop correcting. You're not the grammar police. (NM)
