Transcription is typing as the job itself: speaker labels, timestamps, verbatim tics, sustained for hours. Practise the conventions and the stamina.
General typing tutors drill prose. Transcriptionists and captioners type for hours at a sustained pace, with speaker labels, timestamps and bracketed conventions no prose test contains, and the pace that holds matters more than the sprint. Practising those conventions builds the muscle memory that keeps them out of the way of the audio. The coach watches which keys and sequences cost you the most, then generates fresh practice on verbatim transcripts with speaker labels and timestamps aimed at exactly those.
The same bands apply whatever you type; the vocabulary only changes how quickly you reach them.
Accuracy matters more than raw speed: going back to fix a mistake costs more time than it would have taken to type the whole word slightly slower.
A general test drills prose. Transcription & Captioning type a specific vocabulary all day, and practising that vocabulary is what builds the muscle memory that actually speeds up your work.
