Sorry to repeat this post, but was hoping for a better response, so have moved it to the top again.
Over the past months I have been trying to convince superiors at MQ of the need to have the playback speed increased even more than we are able to at the present. I proofread all reports and when you have a slow dictator, it can take forever. If you agree, please make a post and maybe that will convince them to do something about it.

Increased speed with Expander
How much faster would you say an Expander can make you when transcribing?

What companies use this platform?
Nothing has increased for me except gas and
it isn't $3 a gallon. 21 cents a gallon makes a difference over the long haul. Oh, but I guess you don't worry about things like that with your ridiculous bills and horrible increases!
Go ahead and continue paying your bills, dear. Or at least try. I for one have mine well under control with a 4-digit deposit in savings every month.
:) Enjoy your high cost of living wherever you are!
increase speed 3, decrease speed 2...sm
increase backspace 9, decrease backspace 8. At least that's what mine does.
Has anyone increased their production with
My lines have increased by 1,000 per mo. and it's
just September. I'm feeling fairly confident about this fall/winter.
increased work
Mine is just the opposite, I have 2 accounts and they both increased
Increased production
Do you suppose increased production basically just come from utilizing the Magic Keys over and over until they become habit. If any one has a link to an article or any information, please share. I feel like I just landed on the moon with VR and no interpreter.
Central FL hasn't increased at all yet. nm

I increased RAM - made all the difference
My computer was freezing up all the time, and now it zips along and doesn't get stuck at all. Everything is much faster.
If you know someone who can install it, you could save a few bucks. But I don't think it saves you that much.
RAM will also help you with all the technology upgrades going on, even just for using the Web. It's a good investment if you have a good computer to begin with.
Well...let's see. In 4 years rent in our area has increased at least $500/mo.
Health insurance has gone up. Cost of prescription drugs has increased. Food has increased. Gasoline prices are now over $3 a gallon ($2.69 a gallon BEFORE the storm). Now they're saying that we can expect a 20% increase in our electric bills and up to 71% increase in our heating/fuel bills. All these increases and I've had a 40% CUT in pay. You can believe any paper, magazine, TV news show, or politician you want to believe. I believe my paycheck and my bills.
But isn't the increased incentive JUST on whatever is over 300 lines? Not applied to the first 3
;P
So MQ explains how they arrived at the increased production percentage for ASR.
It appears to be a good study with what was excluded. However, don't tell me about the opportunity for increased financial gain with this so called wonderful increased production of 30% when you decrease my pay by 20%. The only financial gain I can see in all this is in the profit margin for the company.
if you use playback and proof at the
same time that this feature would not be of benefit to you. Oh well, thanks for being honest.
A word about playback
After you record your sound file in the sound recorder program, you might want to download Express Scribe as it can play back the .wav file using hand controls on your keyboard. It uses the function keys, but if you like you can change the keys to anything you like. The sound recorder can be used to play back but is a bit cumbersome.
So, my suggestion would be to re-record using sound recorder and play back using Express Scribe which is free to download from the web. And if you are alone when you transcribe you won't even need a headphone, just play it through your computer speakers.
The web address for Express Scribe is www.nch.com.au/scribe

Under Playback, my pedal is on 300 and 100..sm
for both rewind and forward. You might have to UNclick the Quick tap on play..box that's under the Control tab and see if that helps, too. nm
Playback Software
Getting my terms straight here I did my research and the software used to 'play' the dictation is called Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software - DTPS.
The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed. Are they all like that?
I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at a company I've applied for. BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!
Right now I'm on C-phone. I'm okay with a C-phone. I'm not real keen on the sound quality experience I've had with playback software. Can you not slow them down?
Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!

I used Bytescribe, but there is a free one out there called Express Scribe. I am not sure how good it is though.
Playback Settings for ES
Hello. You can go to the Playback Settings in ES and find the Auto Backstep on Stop heading. Mine is set to 1780 that allows for a reasonable auto backstep. You can adjust to your liking. Once you do that, go to "Control" and run the Footpedal Setup Wizard. That should do it! Best of luck.

Escription playback question...
When using Escription how do I get the playback to rewind 2-3 seconds when I release the foot pedal? So when I stop and restart it will replay a few word rather than starting out exactly from where I released the pedal?
I'm hoping this makes sense. 
Click on Settings and it is under the Playback tab.

Need some help with pedal playback function!
Ack! I am using Audioworx and wanted to make my pedal back up a couple seconds everytime I lift it and press it back down. I changed the Auto Backspace amount and now it keeps going back to the beginning of the audio file. Even when I set the amount to 0, it goes back to the beginning. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
express scribe playback
Just switched to a new computer and put Express Scribe on it and got my foot pedal up and running and just sat down to do some work when I noticed the foot pedal play back is weird. The timing is okay but when I let my foot up it does not stop until I press it again and then I have to give it another tap to begin playing again. I am used to letting up and it stops and pushing down and it plays! Simple stuff... until now.
Has anyone had this? I am getting really frustrated.. may have to contact Express Scribe with this issue but wanted to see if anyone has downloaded the current version of Express Scribe and came across this. Thanks!
Try changing the speeds under Settings/Playback. I have my RW on 800/150 and

ES is not a transcription application; it is an audio playback app.
ES provides the means by which to obtain and play audio files. You actually transcribe these in any text-editing application.
Some text-editing apps such as Word have provision for counting production such as characters, words, lines, etc. Or, you can use a third app such as Sylcount for the counting function.
Questions like these should really be directed to your supervisor for the best answers.
Play with the settings under Playback & Control and

Not a word help question: Would menstrual blood mixed with urine cause increased microalbumin? (pl
My 21-YO daughter has type 2 DM, but it is very well controlled by diet alone. She just had some lab tests done (blood and urine), and they called to let us know her urine microalbumin was slightly elevated. However, she was on her period when they did the urine test, and she said there was definitely blood mixed in with her urine because of this. Does anyone know if this would affect the microalbumin result? They want her to start taking a small dose of lisinopril, but she doesn't want to and wants to wait 6 months for the next test. Her hemoglobin A1c and other values were "perfect" according to the nurse who called, but we are waiting for the actual results to come via mail.
C-phone speed help! PLEASE! Speed key!
I am in tears - typing speedy gonzalez - a total knee replacement, not a standard, dictated in under 1 minute - FULL REPORT! Can you imagine? I have a C-phone that is just hanging in there, but lost all its programming. Isn't there a # key on the number part of the phone that reduces speed? I need it way slooooooooooow!! I'm afraid to just start hitting numbers, though, cause I've lost reports that way!! Anybody have a # to hit for me???
Express Scribe users.....what are your preferred Playback settings?.....sm

A WAV pedal controls playback of voice files. You need a software program through which to play the
The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.
Between cruise lines dumping, increased boat traffic dumping, and runoff from
the water supply --- that's my personal opinion on why there is such a growing red tide.
They try to say it's just an algae bloom, but the toxin that makes up what is known as red tide is actually lots and lots of different toxins generically called "red tide."
The "red tide" in Massachusets for example is not the "red tide" that affects the southern coastal states and shellfish.
We sit here and watch
cruise ships go by,
barge traffic,
luxury yachts,
many more people living on sail boats,
house boats (there is no more property to buy at a reasonable price so they are living on boats and probably dumping effluent in the water).
"Red tide" comes not only from marine water, it comes from resevoirs, your reclaimed water you spray your lawns with, you get it off the grass or bushes as you pass them, it is aerosolized as you water your lawn or go by an area where lawns are being watered. There is a plethora of ways we are getting "red tide"
But nobody talks about how we are getting it.
Look out there people, it is a toxic dump along the coast lines. I stand on the pier and see household trash floating by all day long. Plastic Wal-Mart bags and floating juice bottles, Frito Lay potato chip bags --- and you know some boater has thrown the trash overboard on the way to the dock.
We have people living on boats all over the place in the bayous. ICK. You know what's happening there.
The beautiful lawns 100 yards from where people are swimming and oh my gosh catching fish and getting mollusk clams and taking them home and eating them --- the chemicals in the run-off from manicured lawns and the animal excrement where hundreds of people walk their dogs is just right there! right there in the water those people are going to swim in, put their babies in, eat the shellfish out of. But nobody is warning them. TheY think it's OCEAN WATER AND IT'S SO HEALTHY. It is not healthy.
Yesterday as I was saying the red tide was so awful at the beach-----------An interesting observation:
NO BIRDS! There was not a sand piper, sea gull, or pelican in sight. NOT ONE.

had any luck yet? I'm thinking of getting a few hour's sleep and logging back on later.

Intellitype does
I'm on DocQscribe and I get
about 225 lines per hour; however, that is with 3 kids (2 little ones and 1 in school most of the time) so I think that slows me down -- waita minute, I ~know~ that slows me down. LOL.
Good luck!

Does any one use DocQScribe for their home business? Is this an expensive program to purchase?

I must admit, I also like DocQScribe. I think there are a lot of advantages to it. It sure is better than what we used to have!!!

 I was wondering if you can explore DocQScribe without having jobs download?
Thanks.
IT DocQscribe
Hi all,
I'm currently job shopping and found a position that uses DocQscribe, but I was told that I can't use instant text, that I have to use what is provided inside of DQS. Can anyone give me some insight, is there a workaround?
DocQscribe and SH
Thank you so much! I used SH in the past and found it was a lot faster than Instant Text and since my trial copy is already populated, should be on my way to more lph!
IT and DocQscribe
Make sure you are using release 5.44 of Instant Text V Pro.
For further assistance please contact tech support at 1-781-272-3200 ext 2
