I proof as I go

In Reply to: Confused... - Do all MT's proofread?

I've been an MT for about three years and I work on a nephrology account that has a lot of the same words and phrases and paragraphs all the same (depending on the doctors), so for me it's just easy to proof as I type. It will come with time. I'm sure relistening takes up a lot of time. I've never done it that way.

Proof
I happen to have proof that it is NOT a scam. Where is your PROOF that it is???

Proof
You think you know things that you just don't know. If there is this "class action lawsuit" where is the proof? You don't have it because it doesn't exist. If you DO think you have something, come out of hiding and post it.

Proof - BBB
So your so-called PROOF is one BBB complaint that was resolved???

I never proof and never re-read
Even in school I didn't proof or reread or re-listen. Unless there's a word/phrase I can't understand, my foot is on play the whole time. I tried proofing long ago but that just messed me up and slowed me down. I've had 99% accuracy consistently for over a year and it saves a lot of time.

I guess I should proof my work better too...ha ha

That is an ignorant statment...I am living proof!! -sm
It must ruffle your feathers to think someone could teach themselves your trade, but unfortunately I have to say you are WAY off base there...speaking as a nurse and self-taught MT with impeccable work, thank you very much.
