The Best Practices and Efficiency Techniques for building productivity gains are also the same regardless of whether you are transcribing or editing. Attentive Listening is, of course, very important in both working environments, as are keyboard shortcuts. The only difference lies in the application of the techniques. For instance, when editing, you are more likely to use the Navigational Shortcuts more often than when you are transcribing. Structure and Content In both transcribed and edited documents, you are responsible for identifying structure and verifying content. Structure refers to the items to which formatting is later applied. Content is the substance of the document, primarily the words and phrases that make up the sections. Structure includes items such as section titles and lists. When submitting a document, these items will be formatted for you. For instance, list formatting will be changed from bullets to numbers or letters according to account specifications. After submission, section titles will be bolded, indented, etc. It is your responsibility to ensure structure is identified correctly so the appropriate formatting is applied after you have submitted your document and before it is returned to the customer. The content of the draft is not changed after submission. Only the format, such as margins, font, font size and indention, could be modified. The content itself, and how it reads, will not change in the rendering process. Only its appearance in the final document is affected. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the content of the document.
