No excuses for jumbled sentences!!
Jumbled sentences, run-on sentences, and fragments are usually the result of a transcriber not using enough lag time. Sometimes transcribers use the excuse, "That's the way the professor talks!" That's a less-than-optimal strategy for handling unclear speakers, because it can harm the reader's understanding of the information being presented.
To provide excellent communication access, a transcriber must capture the full meaning of what is spoken, accurately and clearly. Jumbled sentences and fragments are often confusing for the reader, and thus don't effectively convey the speaker's intended message. Remember: our top goal is the reader's quick understanding of the material.
So, be sure to always lag behind the speaker by a clause or two. That allows you time to process the speaker's message. Then, PLAN each complete sentence, and know how each sentence will end before you begin typing it.

A TypeWell feature that's easy on the eyes!!
The "reverse colors" feature is built in to the TypeWell Transcriber and Reader software. To enable it, click on the View menu, and then Reverse Colors. While that color display feature is designed for readers who are visually challenged, some transcribers prefer to use it all the time. It's also a good feature to turn on when the lights are dimmed for a PowerPoint show or video, because it makes the glow from the laptop screen less noticeable.
