Dyslexic fingers - Does anyone else

Posted: May 16, 2014

ever have days when your fingers just WILL NOT hit the right keys? I'm having one of those days. So frustrating!

Sometimes I think my chair is not adjusted right or the keyboard is too close or too far away. Just can't seem to get it right.

happens to me all the time - backspace key diva

I do that, too... keep adjusting the chair, the keyboard. But really I think what I need to do on days like that is adjust my brain! lol When I'm not focused I tend to make more mistakes. The backspace key gets quite a workout!

I spilled something on my keyboard one time and had to run out and buy a new one. When I got home & got it set up, I realized it had a regular-key size backspace key. I had to turn around and take it back and find one with the large backspace key because my fingers kept hitting whatever key that was right next to it.

Just typing along doing my thing. At end of report no redundant skip marker for "end of report blah blah....type in corrected text, highlight, redundant marker not working..soo I do it again. I figured it just was not working as sometimes highlighting and placing a skip marker does not work. I finally realized I actually typed a report and was not editing. That is why it was not working.. I don't mind ASR editing, except for that fact that it is slave labor, but doe ...

When I start typing for the first time every day, it seems like my fingers are not as fast as my brain and want to get "tangled" because they cannot keep up. This results in a lot of wasted time and lots of backspacing. Do any of you experience this and if so how do you get your fingers "warmed up" before you start working? ...

The only jobs that were actualy transcription for me today were the worst 4 doctors on the planet! I am pulling my hair out today over the 10 reports that had to be sent to the MMEs with all of the holes! Also, to the MME who corrected 1 of my reports: I know that numbers are not spelled out, however, the doctor said "325 one or two a day" He did not say milligram, therefore, you are not supposed to leave 2 numbers next to eachother, so I spelled it out. If I knew we w ...

I am having a great deal of trouble with stiff and aching fingers and wrists - it is really slowing down my typing, which I can't afford. No insurance to go to doc. Just wondering if anyone with similar issues had non-med suggestions I could try, particularly for fingers. Any suggestions about wrist splints would be appreciate as well. I have arthritis in my knees so I assume this is what it is. ...

I must have much smaller hands, because I cannot reach the keys in the manner described for the right hand. Unfortunately, I already use the other tips and use the right + left hand for shortcuts, and only thing that makes any difference is the quality of the output. I don't use the DQS expander. Can you put heading formatting short cuts in it, i.e., heading + hightlight + Ctl H? I use the old program Short Cut instead. I could put the old style heading formatting codes (/>), but I ...

Well, just as I landed my "dream" job with a very small MTSO and began making good money (albeit with no insurance benefits), lo and behold if I didn't get a call for a local "headhunter" today to open negotiations with a local group of specialty physicians who are apparently bringing their transcription back in house and want someone ready to hit the ground running. Full-time, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m., hourly pay, paid vacation, paid sick leave, a one-MT-show so priv ...
