Need words of wisdom-ESL dictators - FrustratedMT Posted: Feb 13th, 2016 - 12:11 am
I have been an MT over 23 years and have experience with ESL physicians but recently started a new job which is pretty much ALL ESL. How do you even make a living. It slows you down so much to try and figure out what they are saying. They are from India, Africa, Mexico and countries I could not even dream about. I am sorry but I think they should have to pass a darn English speaking test before they cut them lose on dictating. I can figure out the accents if they would even attempt to SLOW down and clearly speak but they compound the issue but mumbling fast and it just comes out as gibberish. Does anyone have any tips on how to survive this before I just throw in the towel and call it a day?
