Default Another question

The other day I was thinking through the transcription process when a concept stopped me in my tracks. So tell me if my slow brain figured this out right.

While Doc drones on in a language I don't fully understand, I have to listen to what he says, quickly type it with correct spelling while Doc says it, and continue to hear what he says while I'm typing prior said info? My last remaining brain cell is gasping for air after reading that.

I would probably be okay if I was fed two or three words at a time, then stopped the tape to type, then a few words, stop and type, ect. Somthing tells me if anyone hired me like that they would soon fire me too. Typing speed would not matter as the constant stop and start of the tape would slow me down too much. I'm looking for 10-15 hours a week of work not 60.

Do I have this figured out right?
