He wants me to transcribe the pronunciation... (Please see msg) - SH

Posted: Jan 06, 2013

I've never had this before and I'm not sure how on earth to transcribe it.

He dictates the pronunciation for someone's name (specifially, the letters as in the first example) and specifically states he wants it included in the report (so he knows "not to mispronounce it next time" ).

Should I maybe put:

Cecil (pronounced S-E-S-I-L) and I had a long discussion...

Cecil (pronounced "Sesil") and I had a long discussion...

Thank for your help!!

well, how did he say it? - sm

did he enunciate: ESS-EEE-ESS-EYE-ELL?

"Well," - SH

Yes he did dictate it just like that, the letters as I said. (;

I would transcribe as in your first example - nm

Cecil would be "see-sull" Sesil would be "seh-sull" - just a suggestion

[ In Reply To ..]
nm

All CAPS for the emphasized syllable - sm for example

[ In Reply To ..]
Walrus: WALL-rus
Regina: ruh-GEE-nuh
Obtuse: ahb-TOOSE

So Cecil would be SEE-sull or SEH-sull

THANK you! - SH

Thanks to all of you, but especially that last message, I think I've got it!

If I could transcribe for this doctor on a daily basis, then I might finally learn his pronounciation of medical terminology.

I am working on an account where I have had literally no training, on a program where I have had literally no training so I have no idea if it is verbatim or not. The doctor dictates "He was seen last by me in December of this year." Okay, it was actually December of last year or 2011, I would assume. Would you transcribe exactly what he says or would you change it to December 2011 or December of last year? Thanks so much!!! ...

sorry dictation. They might straighten their act up and learn how to dictate properly. It makes me want to go their office and give them my history while talking with my hand over my mouth or while I'm eating or smacking gum or whispering or talking so softly that I can't be heard or out in the middle of the waiting room where all the background noise is, etc. What's just as bad, though, is that the MTSOs don't care about the transcriptionist at all.&n ...

So I've been working for these 2 companies for about the past 2 weeks and I'm just wondering if anyone else who works for either one of them can give me any tips. I really like the work and the flexibility, but I am sooo S-L-O-W. I just did a file for Fox and it took me 3 hours to do 25 minutes of the file (very clear audio). For Net Transcripts it seems to take me about 4 to 5 hours to do 30 minutes of dictation. For me I find Net Transcripts a bit more difficu ...
