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.
