I didn't have any trouble getting it back though. Hope you find something that works.

Settings on my computer??? sm
Do you know how to check those? Thanks for your help!
Slowed down for 1 day and now
back to full swing. I'm tired, wish it would slow down.
oriental ESL said when I slowed him way down . . . "
People are not oriental. They are Asian. Things can be oriental, for example, oriental rugs.
It's just one of those useful things to know.
Mine never slowed down
I've been swamped for months. Too much work to do, but I guess that's good considering some of the posts I see of little or no work. I should consider myself lucky.
No we have been slammed ! Slowed down last week some but now - sm
its gone nuts. I took on a little extra this weekend to help....usually do 90 minutes over the weekend, took 120 minutes though to help out, plus I missed a day this week due to throwing out my back. Fun.
Tell her your account slowed down and you don't need her at this time.
When it picks up, you will call her. Or you lost a client and don't need her services any longer.
You have to fend for yourself!!
Good Luck in whatever you decide.
Settings, Playback settings.
Increase or decrease the steps in Rewind.
I did and it slowed my productivity down. I thought I had gotten used to them after a few months.sm
but when I took them off, I sped up a lot. I've thought about doing it again and decided against it.
Had a feeling it was low, my work has slowed way down, just starting looking around.. nm

My pace has really slowed down since I've gotten older...
Sorry to tell you that - I know it is not good news. It has definitely not been for me. I hate having to work longer hours to make the same money just because my fingers won't move right all the time. I am only 40 and have been doing this for almost 17 years. Have had to learn to use Expanders like crazy!
Also, I am going to school now so that I can get out of transcription before time to retire so that I can have some kind of future in my old age instead of sitting in front of a screen all day.
I am suspicious it is the Citrix because I remember it slowed down a hospital program I used to use
IT had to change from Citrix to something else to get it to speed up and work better. I don't know what Citrix is, but it must be bad, LOL.
Has anyone on this board's work slowed down this January. MT work that is.
Got several friends with slow-down of work but they are MQMTs Wondered how the rest of the MT world is doing.
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...

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!
Under settings. sm
Click Playback tab. For Rewind, I have set mine to 500 and Speed at 150.
Try the Settings.
Under playback tab you can change the rewind. Mine is set at Step (ms) 500 and Speed (%) 150.
Go into Settings.
On the Control tab use the footpedal setup wizard to set what part of the pedal does what. On the Playback tab, you can change the backspace. On the
Have You Tried the Settings?
I haven't used Express Scribe since school, but have you changed the settings? I had to change it to change the settings for what food petal I was using. The one I chose was V-something (VEC? VRC?) 3-pedal, I can't remember.
It may have to do with your settings sm
under File, preferences. Make sure you don't have verify target window checked. Also, may be the pause....after so many keytstrokes. Play around with that one. Every body is different but what works for me is pause 5 msec after 1000 keystrokes.
Also, try waiting for the expansion to appear before you type the word after it.
And below, make sure you have simulate Keystrokes checked.
Settings....
On Exp Scribe, click on settings,file type, and if you don't what type of file, just check them all. Then give it a try and see what happens.
Did you try the settings on the
monitor itself. Mine has buttons to push to change the screen size and my old one had a dial. That's about as much as help as I can give.
Did you check all your settings and especially....
your password in OE? If so, is the Spamgard on in Yahoo so that it is keeping from going to your OE?
Settings, control and then where?

I DID go into the settings and *told* it what to --sm
count. It was still very inconsistent and would not count headers, even though I *told* it to. I would count lines with it and then recount with Sylcount and Abacus was always fewer lines. This was just MY experience with it and I don't need to be made to sound like I am not familiar enough with these programs to not do the *settings* correctly. thank you.
it depends on the settings
I worked before for gross lines, but it depends on the margins and the font setup. I had one account that was Ariel 12 and the other was only a font of 10. With the 12 font I got more lines credited as opposed to the 10 font. Working at 9 cpl without spaces actually evens out to about the same as the lesser amount with spaces. You can download Abacus and then take a document you have typed and have it count it without spaces and with gross lines and then see the difference, it's really not that much.
click settings then...sm
under Playback tab, adjust the Auto Backstep on Stop (0-5000ms). 1000ms = 1 second.
Go to settings, then file and
it gives you a spot to put the number of days to delete files.
Control-settings....
Thanks so much - still having problems. Got the wizard to work on a couple of ports, but only to the push rewind pedal - then will do nothing - locks up and goes crazy with buttons on Express Scribe flashing continuously...any ideas?
Will do both, but how do I get those settings back?
TIA
Mine won't let me do that. Wonder if it could have to do with the settings? nm

Changing settings
You can change the settings. With your mouse on the main desk top screen, right click and go downto properties. Go over to the settings tab and this will give you options for changing the font size. You can change it in that setting by changing the pixel settings, or you can click on the Advanced button and change your DPI setting (or both).
Hope that helps.
I believe if you go into your settings while booting up. SM
On my PC if you push F2 or F8 during the boot up process it will take to your configuration settings. There will be an option that will be able to clear the password so that you will not be asked for a password anymore.
Yes, I had looked at settings, but I don't see how
to do that. My screen is stretched now, and maybe I'm looking at the wrong place. I dunno....I'm seriously challenged when it comes to this stuff....thanks for replying
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.
Daytime 70, nighttime 65 for my AC settings. nm
..
In the settings, click the Incoming tab...
and then you can select file(s) for Express Scribe to scan. Then it will scan those and will load files automatically.
Did you try the Settings in Express Scribe?
The pedal controls won't work until you open Express Scribe, go to Settings/Settings.../Control, and select VEC Pedals USB or something like that; 3-pedals. Then, you click on "Foot Pedal Control Setup Wizard" and it will have you to press rewind, fast forward, and play. After that, the pedal *should* work.
I received ByteScribe with my USB foot pedal but I didn't like it so I uninstalled it and downloaded Express Scribe with no additional software.
If that doesn't work, I really don't know what to tell you. Sorry  .

I didn't like what settings I chose (sm)
using Tonks directions so I tried changing back to the original settings and had a bit of trouble regaining them. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to try changing your settings using the wizard. You might create a system restore point before you make any changes so you can easily restore your old settings if need be.
Click on Settings and it is under the Playback tab.

You would have to change the margin settings.
Under Styles, find the List Number and change the hanging indent setting. This will then apply to all documents based on that template.
click settings then files nm

EMDAT pedal settings
*silent screaming* Is there any way to change how far back the voice file goes back when you take your foot off the pedal? I disabled the pause/play option because I went it to rewide a second or two but not the 10 it is currently doing. This system is a pain. I'm hoping it grows on me! 
emdat pedal settings
Go to options - date/time and is there. 
Express Scribe settings
Try going under settings, files, and select .dss I have been using ES for 4 years and there are always quirks... not sure how I get the solution each time. Hope this works.
Did you go to your settings and do the control set up wizard? nm
