Q: When a date is dictated, “April one, two thousand nine,” I must type as dictated and not 04/01/2009 as I had thought. I saw the sample report in Med Workshops with that date format so it seems my assumption was wrong. When the dictator says the date numerically, “Four, one, two thousand nine,” that’s the only time I type it numerically as well (04/01/2009). Is my reasoning correct?
A: Your assumption is correct, you must type verbatim, including dates as dictated.
