TRANSCRIPTS VS. DICTIONARY

Do you think you’ve edited the same thing more than once in your transcripts?

HAVE YOU SEEN THE SAME UNTRANSLATES BEFORE?

If you have seen the same untranslate more than

three times while editing, you’ve been wasting very

valuable time.

NEW IDEA!

What if we learn how to edit for your dictionary?

Doing realtime without watching your screen is like trying to read in the dark. If you SEE errors then you won’t continue writing the same mistake over and over and over.

The exception is speedbuilding. Don’t watch your screen!
