Word function keys
Yes, this does happen. There is a little program that goes into your computer when they load Transnet, which disables the function keys of Word. Ctrl S in Word is Save, Ctrl S in Transnet is to search prior jobs, etc. Ctrl N in Word brings up a new document. Ctrl N in Transnet ends and spell checks the job. THis should go away when you UNINSTALL Transnet the proper way.
Express Scribe
Does anybody know if earphones can be used with Express Scribe? I can't find any information about this anywhere. Thanks.
EXPRESS SCRIBE
had the same problem when I got my new computer. Easiest way is to take it from desktop, and you can drag it into escribe.
Do you have Express Scribe......

Has anyone used Express Scribe to take an on-test SM
test? I downloaded it, but I can't get the function keys to work. Any help would be appreciated. I am technically dumb! TIA
How to load Express Scribe
If you already haven't found out how to do it, save the files to a folder on your desktop, then go into Express Scribe, click on Load or load files (I don't have it on this computer, so am doing this from memory), then click Browse, then click on C drive, then click Desktop, click on the folder, then click on the files you want to load. In my experience, Express Scribe will only load a job if it has been saved in a folder. Hope this helps and good luck
Express Scribe does play that!(sm)
Not sure about Gear Player, but in open Express Scribe and go to settings, and then settings, and go to the tab files, and you should be able to check the box there. You can also go to the WMA file right click and select open with and then select your Express Scribe. Good luck on the test!
Are you talking about Express Scribe?
It's a little primitive, but it works well enough to take a test with.
Huh? I'm using Express Scribe v4.3 with Vista - nm

I did download express scribe but sm
I may be doing something wrong. I can't open this file in anything but windows media and it goes directly to windows media. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
BTW, why did you leave and do they pay on time?
Thanks
I tried downloading it into Express Scribe and it wouldnt go into that.
It's a mystery and they have never gotten back to me so I assume as I cannot play their sound file, I wont be considered for the job. I tried everything to get it to work.
isnt express scribe free? sm
i had to purchase my own bos and the software/pedal they told me to purchase was $129 (with their discount). they did provide the spellchecker, drug book, and Smartype though, so that was good. thanks for the fyi.
foot pedal- Express Scribe
Yes, I've got that far. I'm actually able to play now, but I still don't have all the kinks ironed out. When I play, it is warbled...I'm sure the problem is with my settings and my F-keys...can you help me?! At least I know now this pedal does work thanks to your telling me yours did...I kept plugging and accidentally discovered I had to click on Express Scribe when I signed in.... Thank you for your help.
I used express scribe. Worked just fine.

You can also use Express scribe with a foot pedal and do it that way... nm

Bytescribe pedal & Express Scribe
I use a Bytescribe pedal with Express Scribe all the time and it works great.
Download Express Scribe.....it's free

Well I was trying like h--- to get my DQS pedal to work with Express Scribe and no way.
Thanks for telling me you had the same problem. I thought I was the only stupid one that was having this problem. I thought Infinity would work but it doesnt.
Can you download Express Scribe and play the file thru there? nm

I use my infinity pedal with Express Scribe too with no problems. nm
help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe
Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email??? I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password. When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt
The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters. Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!
Do most MTSO's require Express Scribe for on-line
It's been a while since I've job hunted. I never had problems with the actual tests, but using Express Scribe to access the tests was always confusing. Is it still a problem for anyone else?
If you can get the pedal configured using the Settings in Express Scribe, it should work. nm

I had the phone interview. I did the report part of the exam with Express Scribe (sm)
last week, but haven't heard back from them. Does this usually take this long? tia
Don't need to record files. Pull them into Express Scribe (free on line) and play them thru there

If you have an Infinity pedal, you can pull the files in thru Express Scribe, (free download) and

Star Stop works better than express scribe. If you want start Stop, yea it is kind of sm
expensive. I wish they did pay their QA hourly as I think they would see better quality work, but they per line and it is higher than the other person posted.
I have never had a problem with management, so I am unfamiliar with what the other person experienced with management.
Pay is always on time (most of the time early). I like the software. I guess you just have to see if it fits for you.
All hot keys if you wish! nm

In VR I use no keys until
I come to a correction. I use my mouse and set over say the page, paragraph and read along. If a correction is needed, I place my mouse over that and either delete, put another word in. I do not scan with the mouse word by word. My eyes are editing, the mouse is just there. I do not use the combination keys like VRer does, just never wanted to learn, figured just would slow me down.
On VR have never used the keys
only the mouse and can keep up with the audio as fast as it goes. No idea about with the keys, just did not want to do.
Bayscribe hot keys
Double click the Productivity Tools Word Expander Icon on your desktop. Click the tab for Local Configuration and you can set hot keys for features to what you want.
Use shortcut keys
I forgot to say you should use all of the shortcut keys.
Alt K will take you to the red block and Alt . (period) will put a period at the end of the sentence as well as capitalize the next sentence.
Try practicing these.
I had heard had to use hot keys
in order to do more but been doing the same ole thing for so long do not use those. What are you averaging per hour, per day and compare that with what you were doing straight.
I believe you can reprogram the keys
I think you can re-program those command keys to suit your needs. Contact the Emdat help desk about it. I know I did reprogram a couple of mine.
Of course I use the shortcut keys, but
what do the shortcut keys have to do with the quality of the work that ISR spews out? The whole idea is that we shouldn't have to do much editing!! That is the whole premise behind ISR. But my experience has been one of very tedious time consuming editing that never gets any better. Often times even seems to be getting worse. I'm just giving my experience.
Oh how could I forget those friggin' "F" keys?!
I actually got pretty adept at manipulating those commands, but what a total pain. My wrists really took a beating during that stint too because of reaching for those stupid F keys. Blech blech blech!
You use the Ctrl + keys to access everything in the program. Very
s
the company sets the keys - ask your job. It is not the phone.
I have worked on several accounts via C-phone and each acocunt had it set their own way - similar - but not exact. Companies can calibrate each gal differently as well such as not being able to skip jobs, among other things.
ask you supervisor.
Does Axolotl use hot keys or a foot pedal? sm
If they use hot keys, are they hard to learn if you've only ever used a foot pedal before?
Thanks for the info! 
I use keyboard only....move along with the voice with my arrow keys, then...
my mouse is right where the voice is when I have to make a correction. Couldn't do it any other way.
I function without a lot of sleep
I try to get up at about 4 a.m., work until 7 when my daughter gets up, start working again at 8 a.m. until she comes home at 3. I guess I do work evenings sometimes, but my desk is right by the kitchen so I'm up and down a lot then. Sometimes I stay up until 11 or so to work after she goes to bed. I do sometimes feel like I'm always working, but I ran up some credit card bills a few years ago and promised to bring in a certain amount of money to help pay down that debt, and now I'm living up to my part of the bargain. Again, though, I do work a lot and sometimes feel like I'm missing out on life, but don't a lot of us feel that way?
If you use the Search function
at the top of the page and put in HIP, there are a few posts from 2004 and 2005. Hope that helps a little. Are they hiring right now?
cntr I function
gives you the # of reports. For example, so far today 13 reports gave me about 700 lines, a mix of OP notes and H&Ps. My company does not count the headers or footers either. I think 1500 lines a day or more is probably obtainable on this system. Im new, Im still busy plugging in normals and learning dictators. To have to type 30 or more reports as I was told by one company to even hit 1000 lines is just BS. Of course cntrl I was not enabled so I was essentially working blind. Took me about 2 months to catch on unfortunately.
Cannot get search function to work. I go up to the box
at the top of the page for the Google search and move it to search ''MT Stars.com'' but it never comes back with anything. I have tried several companies that I know have been mentioned on this board but it always comes back with no results.
Use your zoom function to make it
larger but make sure to return it to 100% when you are done. It saves it the larger print if you don't. It is easy to enlarge before and then decrease after. I wouldn't want it to come to me other than 100% either....so I am very careful to maintain it when I am done as a courtesy.
yawning is a natural function but
so is flatulence. You don't mind if people and/or doctors do that right in your face without apologizing? Tired, bean-filled, or what not.
Cntr I function should be available within the program
if you're talking about the Extext program where you have to go to the Ichart website to get lines and cannot verify # of reports to go with those lines then this is shifty. There is a line counter within the program that works just fine when it is enabled.
When company does not allow CTRL i function to be used by its MT's.
EXText is the platform you transcribe in, but EXSpeech is the VR portion of Dictatphone EXText.
The email function is not working.
My STM said it was b/c the Alt-G and history function was creating sm
a potential HIPAA problem because it was copying a viewed patient name into your current document sometimes. Alt-G and history are connected somehow apparently? She also said they were bringing viewing history back later on this year.
