quality remote transcribing: mute your microphone

Don't forget to mute your mic, EVERY time!!

    When you're in a remote "talk" session, be sure to click the button in the Skype or AIM window to "Mute" your microphone.  Otherwise, if the speakers on the reader laptop are ON, then others in the classroom might hear the clicking of your keyboard, you clearing your throat, etc.

    In a remote teaming situation, your team transcriber might also be able to hear the sounds from your mic, depending on your audio configuration.  That can interfere with his/her ability to hear the speaker.
