to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the
ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer
be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it
wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by
istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. An interesting read wasn't it? But what would you think if someone sent you a letter like that?
In years gone by, the
traditional secretary started to disappear from offices as computers meant that
anyone could type a letter or chuck together a powerpoint presentation. A few rare legal eagles hung onto their
beloved Dictaphone tapes, but most people joined "the two finger touch-typing
generation". Meanwhile I still sat with
a blanket over my hands learning how to touch-type at school.
Anyway, in the last few
years there has been yet another revolution.
In the same way that technology made the typist redundant, it also
revived her too. As more companies
implemented "type your own" policies, they got more and more complaints about
quality of work, typos, corrupt documents and the length of time it took to get
documents sent. In fact, the ad agency I
worked at in London revoked the mandate that "All account management staff must
type their own documents" to state that only secretaries were allowed to create
client-facing documents, because they had so many horrible disasters including
one fee typo which almost lost them £1,000,000!
Companies also realised they
were paying their £250-an-hour lawyers/surveyors/journalists to sit bashing
their computer using the two-finger-touch-typing method was not a particularly
good use of company time or money! Enter
digital
dictation.
Instead of recording onto
tape, the new style Dictaphone machines record onto audio files - exactly like
your iPod. You then connect the machine
to your computer and it emails the audio file to our team of experienced touch
typists who'll whizz through your work, proofread it with a fresh set of eyes, and
return you a typed document via email.
