I may have mentioned this before, but I’m really slow at transcription.  I’m good at it, very detailed, triple-check my work and all that, but I’m slow.  I know I’ll get faster with practice, but who knows how long that could take?  So, anyway, I figured it would take me a good bit of time to meet the audio minutes required by the agency before I could take their proofreading test.  I was wrong.  My transcripts have been so good, apparently, that they’re letting me take the proofreading test with less than half the required audio minutes under my belt.

I have to admit, it makes me feel that my recent decisions are being validated.

I’ll still be transcribing for a while, since I’ll have to go through their proofreading training process, and that’s totally fine.  The more transcription I do, the better I’ll get.  And the more exposure to the different jurisdictions, the better.  It’s very exciting, though, don’t you think?
