When the name is Hypendated example: Jacqueline. Jacque- line on the next line. Sometimes the program picks up the line and sometimes not. Should we enter the full name on each line, the name on only one line or the hyphenation as written?

    When the program picks up both Jacque- and line, I submit Jacqueline.

    When the program picks up only Jacque- or line, not both, I flag a Transcription Error, Incomplete.

    Remember, we are training the AI, not cleaning up after it, so we need to flag mistakes, not fix them.
