Rapid Dictation

Hi folks,

I want to know whether anyone else experiences this problem and you’re the perfect group to ask!

As the dictation gets faster than my capabilities or as I fall behind the dictation, I’ve noted that my right-hand margin gets bigger and that my shorthand outlines get sloppier. The “sloppier” part I understand fully, but the margin?

Does anyone else notice this happening?

  1. The increase in margin size may be related to anxiety (you hurry to go down the page), or that unconsciously you are leaving space to fill up later.  I wonder if taking a deep breath once in a while during fast dictation would help.

  2. The right-margin on my writing doesn't widen as much as the left one does. I keep starting subconsciously relative to the above outline instead of starting relative to the page.
