I try the name out on DNS at the beginning of the report, unless I'm sure
there is no chance in hell it's going to get it right. If it does get it
right, then I know I can dictate it when it comes up again. It did import a
bunch of names from the files I fed it, so often I am pleasantly surprised
when it gets a tough one right.

On a follow-up visits, which is the majority of what I transcribe, it is
amazingly accurate. I would say I only have to do 1-2 corrections per page
if I don't get too lazy with my pronounciation.
Also, how

Very rarely on follow-up visits, but more often on consultations and H&P's.
Most of what I'm adding is drug names that are not specific to cardiology,
and syndromes, signs, etc. Still, not all that often. Maybe one or two
additions per report, and as I add them, of course, the frequency decreases.
What do you think your current level

I proof as I go and spell check at the end.
I just got done working for an hour, using DNS, and did 302 gross lines. I
get paid by gross line.
Just using the keyboard, I was doing about 225 or so.
