Don't You Wish...

...that you could create one brief for the entire transcript? Walk in, set up, listen to them talk all day long, as fast as they want, seven hours, then just hit one stroke, pack up your equipment and go home? And have perfect translation, too, 100 percent.

Maybe just two strokes, BHRA BHRA.

Thank you, Tami! I will.

Just add the -Z for the "of the question," Janet. :)

That always makes sense to me -- meaning it just keeps continuing.

[Janet]

I'm so brain dead, it's not funny. I do JORM for object to form, JORMS for object to the form, JOERM for object to the form, JOERMS for objection to the form. What I haven't added into one stroke is the "of the question" part.

[Janet]

Those are great, Tami!

Do you have one for object/objection to the form of the question? I can't believe I haven't even attempted that one yet.

[Tami]

Well, sometimes you can get close to that -- if you write short enough. :)

My favorite semi-long (longer than a "yes" or "I don't remember" anyway ) answers:

"Not that I know of." NAEUFN

"Not that I remember." NAEURM

"Not off the top of my head." NOPD

[Tami]

I'd be happy with three. :)

That's too funny!
