A 5-minute test is dictated at 180 words per minute. How many total words are in the test?
Answer: 900
180 words per minute multiplied by 5 minutes equals 900 words.
On a 900-word test requiring 96% accuracy, what is the maximum number of errors allowed?
Answer: 36
4% of 900 words is 36 errors.
Which formula correctly calculates a CART provider's accuracy percentage?
Answer: (Total words − errors) ÷ total words × 100
Accuracy is the share of words rendered correctly out of all words spoken.
A steno outline that appears in the realtime display as raw steno rather than English is called what?
Answer: An untranslate
An untranslate occurs when the stroke has no dictionary entry and shows as raw steno.
When reviewing a session transcript, which error type means the provider omitted words the speaker said?
Answer: Drop
A drop is a word or phrase the writer failed to capture at all.
What is the most useful first step after a session that had a high untranslate rate?
Answer: Run a dictionary analysis and add missing entries
Defining missing outlines in the dictionary directly reduces future untranslates.
Which display error would most likely confuse a consumer even though every word was technically stroked?
Answer: A homophone conflict such as 'their' for 'there'
Unresolved homophone conflicts produce wrong words that distort meaning.
