 Can anyone suggest the best way to decipher a dictator who is a mumbler or speaks very fast.  I have changed the speed and listen over and over and still can't figure it out.  Wish there was a magic dicipher machine.

 I work in a hospital and they voted x2 as an unacceptable abbreviation.  We currently have to spell it out.  We also have to spell out q as every, qid as four times daily, bid as two times daily and so on and so on.  I would ask the dictator or your QA person before making a final decision.
