use the TypeWell program appropriately

Keep quality of services high!!

    TypeWell transcribing should not be used as mere notetaking.  Doing so gets the transcriber out of practice for the rigors of meaning-for-meaning work; misleads the student and others as to what real-time communication access really is; and hurts new transcribers who are exposed to inappropriate use of the software.  It is also a poor use of department resources to have a skilled transcriber doing simple notetaking, because TypeWell transcribers receive higher pay than notetakers.
