The "3" key speeds it back up
Play with other settings, too. My Auto backseop is on 1100 ms, slow 50%, and

Maybe just me, but your speed is slow
at 70 wpm. I have been tested at 130-140 and getting the lines just not an effort- I think it has everything to do with the 70 wpm. You really need to build your Expanders and abbreviation list- that would help you tremendously.
If memory serves (and most of the time it doesn't!), isn't it # to speed up and * to slow down
You just repeatedly hit the # or * keys to the desired speed, right?
Dictatphone System
I have an Enterprise Express that I would like to sell! If interested, please email me!
That should be Winscribe has the best sound. Not Dictatphone. NM

somebody used to make a dictatphone-to-straight adapter
I can't remember who it was, but some tech guy used to actually make them himself and sell them for under $20 or so.
Does Dictatphone Ex-Text have automatic save as you are typing?
Thanks.
Slow day for me. Typed two reports in two hours. Anyone else having unusually slow day?

Increase or decrease the steps in Rewind.
increase speed 3, decrease speed 2...sm
increase backspace 9, decrease backspace 8. At least that's what mine does.

Are you willing to give any info? Did you work for them? Thanks!
Where's the press release?

We should all send this to the Associated Press too,
which would be published in newspapers across the whole country.

has anyone heard of x-press transcription
i took a test with them last week and hadn't heard anything. any info?
thanks
Of course not, the press release has already been released...sm
and it's all over the local news. Couldn't even tell my family until the press release went out. Actually, couldn't even tell my coworkers before the press release went out. Thanks for your concern, but I'm well versed in security, etc.; particularly this past week.
I wish we had a big button we could press that went BZZZZZZTT!!

There is an Associated Press article in today's sm
paper about increasing car sales in India. The Indian people are enjoying higher wages and are now able to purchase cars. Car makers are scrambling to get pieces of this new, juicy pie.
I wonder how long it's going to take before sending our work to India is not cost effective for the MTSO anymore. The Indian MTs won't be able to live on their 2 cpl anymore and will need more, and more. It's going to be interesting to see this evolve.
There's hope for us!
Hold Shift and press F3 twice
F3 cycles through sentence case, uppercase, then all lowercase.
Sent It to New York Times and Associated Press
Send this or your own letter. Let us know if anyone gets a response.
I sent it to 2 staff writers for the Associated Press plus...
Forbes Magazine, 60 Minutes, USA Today, Washington Post, NY Times, and a couple of others. The Editor who e mailed me did not know I was an MT but that's okay - you investigate one offshored industry, you investigate them all. I asked him to check into any credible sources he had. You may have noticed in my letter it constantly said, "See what you can find out."
You can still highlight your word and press Alt-T-A to... sm
get to the Autocorrect dialog box in 2007. Your highlighted text is already in the With box. Just type your abbreviation and tab to the OK button and hit Enter. A lot of the old shortcuts still work even though the menus are no longer on the ribbon.
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???
accutype, x-press transcription, Medquist
Help! Need some info please. I have been an MT since 1992 first in a clinic setting, and now in hospital since 1996. I have been doing Radiology transcription and love it. I have been looking for an at home job for the past couple of months and have been offered a couple positions. I currently get paid by the hour and have no idea how to convert my work to line count. I have been offered .075, .08 and .09 no spaces? Anyone type PET scans and know what the line count is on a report like that? They told me they would give me 9 reports and I would be busy all day which I can't believe because I can usually type 25-30 reports an hour of MR, CT, US, MN and general x-ray.
Thanks, TLB
Have always heard good things about X-Press
and have heard they pay really well
Any current info on X-press Transcriptions?
I was told that I passed their test and was sent an IC contract out, but just wondering about any good/bad experiences before I sign for sure. Also, how are the pay and accounts? Thanks! 
Press Alt + F9 to toggle on field codes.
Or go to tools, options, and check field codes on the view tab.
You need to press shift key and caps lock. You may
need to do it a couple of times. I transcribed for many years and never had a problem, but the last couple of years I have this happen about once a month. It isn't a malfunction of the keyboard - it is user error :).
Ordered from Medical Arts Press catalog
on a previous job. They have different styles and sizes to choose from.
Sorry - do not know what happened to my above post. I press 2 for decrease, 3 for increase. nm

Moderator, it is not copyrighted, it's a press release, sent to me via email. However,
the link is included and can be viewed at MTIA's web site. EVERYONE should read this....it affects our future. I do not doubt the hundreds of resumes MTSOs receive today in response to job postings will dwindle to a handful. The entire credentialing process is geared to one way only, and that is lining the pockets of those who have led the way to destroy a once honorable profession. Why would anyone want to go through the process to earn a substandard living today, certification not withstanding? Does anyone think the MTSOs are going to pay a much higher premium for a credentialed MT? Come on...get real. If they are outsourcing today to make more money, does anyone really think they will bring those jobs back and pay EACH AND EVERY credentialed MT a livable wage, money out of their pockets?

I would not be holding press conferences criticizing the government I want to help me find my
daughter nor offending the citizens of the country I wanted to support me. She has clearly lost her mind and needs a spokesperson and she should vent to her husband not the world, although her vents and concerns are unfounded according to their attorney and the prosecuters. They did not have EVIDENCE to keep these brothers. No EVIDENCE. What part of this doesn't Mrs. Twitty get.
I have given my kids cell phones..and taught them how to press and hold the key to call me..so that

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....
