quick transcript review – step 1: get an appropriate transcript

. . . continued from last week!!

    The first step of the Quick Review Method is to have the service provider give you an unedited transcript from a typical class or meeting. (Make a paper copy of the transcript, to use in Step 2.)

    • Choose a class/meeting that is representative of the kind of setting in which that transcriber usually works.  A lecture class with some class discussion is a good choice to show off a variety of transcriber responsibilities.
    • If you are able to arrange ahead of time to record the class/meeting, do so! 
    • If your service provider is a TypeWell transcriber, tell the transcriber to write down for you the Self-test abbreviation results at the end of the class/meeting.  (The TypeWell transcriber will know how to access the Self-test in the TypeWell program.)
