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.
Click on Settings and it is under the Playback tab.

Settings, Playback settings.
Increase or decrease the steps in Rewind.
Try changing the speeds under Settings/Playback. I have my RW on 800/150 and

Express Scribe users.....what are your preferred Playback settings?.....sm
I am starting to use this and would like to optimize the settings. TIA
Play with other settings, too. My Auto backseop is on 1100 ms, slow 50%, and

In Express Scribe, click Settings, then Auto Backstep....sm
Then enter how much you want it to go back. I have mine set at 1100. Don't forget to click "OK".
Start/Stop Com Port settings
Have you played with the Com port setting under the Configure button? I have had to try mine in all 8 until I found the right one.
Go to settings, then file and
it gives you a spot to put the number of days to delete files.
How can I get it to auto load the next file? sm
I'm also new to ES and can't figure out how to get it to auto load the next job file when I click "done" with the current file. I have all my voice files in a folder and it loads them all, but sure would like to not have to manually load each new one. Can anyone help? TIA!
what is your auto-delete file setting at?
set it to 0...see if that helps
Importing Auto Correct file (.acl) into Bayscribe
Does anyone know how I would do this? Any tips will be appreciated!!! TIA
Auto Recovery will not help. She saved over the original and closed the file.

I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!
You mentioned the IRS. Try calling the Taxpayer Advocate's Service toll free at 1-877-777-4778. They are independent from the IRS and their function is to help solve IRS problems that cannot be solved through normal channels.
Start Stop voice file player and conflicts with Spyware Doctor
I was having problems with StartStop and talked to one of their techs this morning. One of the bugs it was having was fixed when I turned off Spyware Doctor so I need a new anti-spyware program.
I’m thinking of trying Spyware Blaster. I called to see if there were any conflicts with that one but had to leave a message. In the meantime, does anyone use StartStop voice file player and also use Spyware Doctor without any buggy conflict problems between the two softwares?
Are you sure you're using Auto Text and not Auto Correct?
Auto Text accompanies the template, as I stated before. The Auto Correct entries are in a separate file with the .acl extension.
Transferring Auto Correct/Auto Text
I work in Word currently and have a large number of AC/AT entries. I am moving to a platform that has Instant Text or Shorthand. Is it possible to transfer these entries as a file somehow, or am I going to have to enter by hand? Also any comments welcome regarding the ease of use, etc of Instant Text versus Shorthand.
Thanks
I'll bring the dip and the half and half ;)
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

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

playback speed
Thank you, I will check on this. You all have been so helpful. Thank you very much!
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!!!
playback software
I used Bytescribe, but there is a free one out there called Express Scribe. I am not sure how good it is though.
I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm
I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank. When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

DocQScribe Playback Speed
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.
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. 
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!
...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
Who wants playback speed increased on DocQScribe?
Sorry to repeat this post, but was hoping for a better response, so have moved it to the top again.

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.
Need help with playback speed on Dictaphone C-phone
Please help!! Can't figure out how to slow down the MD
It's Express Scribe. Gotta play with the playback controls

that reminds me of a doctor who had his own very unique word for period...he called it a "perikat". All through the report...Perikat... perikat.... LOL
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.
an .exe file is not a voice file
I'm no techie, but it sounds like they might've sent the wrong file by mistake. Or could it be a program you need for testing/working for them that they sent? What is the name of the file (if it is something you can say here)?
1 out of 2, 1/2 looks like one-half
what do you do in this situation?
I have it also and they don't have even half sm
when you are doing angios and MRIs.
Could you do half and half - QA/MT?
Some days I think I'd rather do QA - I have carpal tunnel and I could sit in my recliner and QA because I wouldn't have to be pushing a foot pedal all the time and could use hot keys, and it would be a change of pace. But then I have days at a time, if not weeks, where I have the worst dictators. I rarely have blanks, but I do have them, and I think no way do I want to be stuck listening to every horrible dictator, although my company pays by the hour and a good rate, so it would be nice not to have to worry about working 50+ hours/week so I can pay my bills because I don't have a consistent pay check to try to budget with.
Yes . . . it is under settings
Playback tab, then Auto-backstep on stop
Which half?

I am using Express Scribe, and I tried the settings and that didn't help. Thank you!

Yes, I am afraid I did all of that. It keeps coming back and saying that it is not a supported file. Thank you very much for helping!
