I learned in my first job, MissyC - it was a sort of "sink or swim" situation. There's no magic to it. I would describe it as being rather like listening to a Walkman and typing what you hear. Every industry has its own language, or set of technical terms, and so you have to either know or pick up quickly industry-specific terminology.
I often think that people who dictate on audio are the ones who need training! It takes quite a bit of organisation and clarity of thought to be able to "see" a document or letter and to dictate it. Some people dictate the punctuation; others expect their admin staff to add the punctuation. And then there are those charming, helpful people who compose their dictation in strange places. My very first boss invariably dictated whilst he was travelling on buses and trains.
