Subject: Machine Dictation
     At the request of some of the division directors, we have made a survey of machine transcribes to see what could be done to improve both the quality of transcripts and the speed with which the work is completed. These are their suggestions:
     1. Both dictators and transcribers should be familiar with the dictating and transcribing equipment. A manual is available for every machine it explains how to use the equipment.
     2. Machine transcribers will complete transcription by the day following the receiving of the tape unless the dictation is marked rush then every effort will be made to complete the work when it is wanted.
     Please let me know if you have further suggestions. I should also like to know if these suggestions result in better transcripts.
