Glossaries for multiple dictators
Hello Michele, I used to work for a service, several hospitals, multiple dictators and specialties. Here’s how I made Instant Text work well for me. For the many doctors that I had just once then never again, I found it easier to use glossaries based on report types and specialties. For instance, I transcribed a lot of general surgery, so I had a glossary which was based on the work of a few different surgeons into which I included the free sutures glossary, along with glossaries on ages, numbers, and my own “base” glossary. I did a similar thing with some of the specialties, ending up with a glossary for OB/BYN, one for ortho, one for ER work, etc. In a nutshell, I would ensure you have a base glossary, preferably one you know well, included in ALL the others; this will help to keep your speed up as there will always be some things you know are going to be there. Then create glossaries as and when you can for the different doctors and/or specialties. You’d be surprised at the keystroke savings you can make even when you have many different dictators. I posted an article about how I recreate bigger glossaries as time goes on, incorporating those small, earlier ones to make the transition seamless. See link. MarieR
