Increasing production

I am a pretty new MT.  I did an internship and then got hired on but I am having trouble increasing my production.  I have heard about work Expanders and how they can help speed up production, but have never used one and am not sure which is the best one.  Any tips on Word Expanders or other ways to increase my production would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone.  I'm a self-taught Transcriptionist by the luck of having gone  to a great secretarial school, before pc's then I got a 4 year nursing degree.  I had to go on disability and used my  resources to get as far as I have.  My word Expander is awesome.  I just feel like I cant get  any faster and have trouble with ESL docs just like when i was a nurse  and  had to verify their info or you  could kill someone.  I am desperatte to learn the tricks of the trade and would be  so appreciative of an older mentor. Do I make templates?  Do I just type 12 hours a day  until the  transcription goddess gives me some answers. I have worked for 2 differrent places and  everyone wants to keep their productivity secrets away from us.   I'm a disabled single mom and I would gladly give away any  info some kind soul would help  me with.  Any angels out there?  Im going broke and don't know if  I will get more proficient by just working more.  No QA  people I have talked  to will tell me anything and I work with them....Spirit329...Prayers to  you all.

I was lucky enough to find a job that gives me the best of both worlds.  A decent hourly base and then incentive pay on top of that.

GOOD LUCK!!!
