Weave - You use a foot pedal to start and stop the dictation. It really isn't as bad as it sounds and you get used to the drs dictating, their style, their language usage, the eating while dictating, flushing toilets, etc. LOL

Flushing toilets?! Ewwwwwwwww. I think I'm going to be really sick.

I knew the foot pedal stops and starts the tape. I just figured doing so after every 2-3 words would be way too slow a pace to keep me happily employed.

You can slow down the speed at which they are talking. When I was typing for a rehab hospital I had to do that. The ladies at the clinic that I type for I used to have them at a slower speed but as I got used to their voices and such I was able to play them at normal speed. On my good days I can type as they talk without stopping and backing up.

You can slow the tape down? A lot or just a little?

As much as you need. You can even make it sound like Charlie Brown's Grandma if you want. LOL. You can also speed it up to sound like the Chipmunks but I wouldn't recommend that.

Well my interest in becoming a MT just went from hanging by a thread to looking at schools again. Thanks for your input.

I have my school choices narrowed down to six I think. I'm starting to make a list of questions I want answered by each place. Are there any questions you can think of that I should make sure I get answered? All six of my school picks are AAMT approved.

Just in case anyone cares... I have my school choices narrowed down to two. Basicly $1000 separates them. Will keep researching.
