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.

Express Scribe users.....what are your preferred Playback settings?.....sm
I am starting to use this and would like to optimize the settings. TIA
Go to file, settings, playback, auto backset on stop about half way down.....sm
I have mine on 1500. Hope that helps!
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 have an Epson, but have you tried changing your paper settings?
There should be an option for the kind of paper you want to run. Mine is under "Tools" or "Settings". My Epson has settings from regular paper to photo paper, to the cloth backed paper for quilting and transparencies. Good luck.
Thank you all for your input. I have tried changing my settings multiple different ways and still h

Modems/speeds different
I'm not sure what fast IS but I don't experience slow downloads at least using systems DocQ and EMDAT. It just takes under a minute usually to download the initial 3 reports and then it comes in prior to completing last report. I have seen one post where she spent 20 minutes downloading a 2 minute voice file, is that what you mean. Never experienced that. I have earthlink and acccelerator, my modem came with the PC Agere Systems PCI -SV92 PP Soft Modems 56K
I used satellite with 2 different platforms and the download and upload speeds were just
that satellite was just a 'step up' from dialup, but it was WAAAAY faster and very comparable to the cable and DSL I previously had. I had more down time with both of those because the companies do not want to spend the money to repair connections and lines running to the individual homes (this from a Bellsouth tech after his 8th visit to my house). Plus, living here in Florida, I was able to work last year during and after swipes by 4 hurricanes. Our phones were out for 2 weeks and cable was out all over town for even longer. Just plugged my surge protector into the generator and off to work I went. Give me my satellite any day! Thank you so much for your encouragement! Right now I guess I'll just ride my horse for a couple hours. We are surrounded by federal preserve land. There are miles and miles of trails with old plantation ruins. Very relaxing. In spite of not working, I do love my life!!!!
Starting job using Olympus Player/pedal - does this have a good player with slow down speeds - I do
Until now I have always used company software with player included. I hate to spend money and find out the player is mickey mouse!!
Thanks- you may e-mail me if you prefer.
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

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!!!

I used Bytescribe, but there is a free one out there called Express Scribe. I am not sure how good it is though.
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!
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.

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.
How do they think that changing their name....sm
would matter diddly squat in the industry? If their rationale for considering it is because no one knows who they are then changing the name isn't going to change that. Seems silly that members and supports would be asked to pay for the costs of changing instead of focusing on marketing.
CHANGING COURSE
Well, after the reading and research I have done, I think I agree with one writer that stated that at the rate things are going now in the transcription world that in 5 years 80% of us will be out of jobs!! Either through technology and/or offshoring!!
So, instead of waiting for another axe to fall on me...I have been chopped up enough by the MTSOs...... I am hoping to decorating cakes for a living!!!
I am waiting to hear back from a local bakery where I just interviewed.
I have taken all the Wilton cake decorating courses and have done quite a few birthday, wedding, and mother's day cakes in the past...I definitely am not Duff or anyone at Charm City Cakes, but it is something I truly enjoy doing and it was my "therapy" that got me through a divorce about 10 years ago.
So, I will be working 8 hours a day only, get immediate feed back, paid hourly and not production, and hopefully will be able to transition into this job permanently....
So, I hope and pray that I am wrong about the future of this profession for which I have worked so long and hard....but the stress now is almost unbearable and ain't worth it no more!!! 
Changing Course
That is a great idea. You might work into doing some on the side and go into business for weddings, etc. I had a friend who did that and make good money. She was in great demand too. If you get a business of your own, you would make a lot more and could probably do a lot of it sitting.
Probably not...just changing
I work on a VR account, and trust me, there will always need to be people behind it checking what the computer types. There are just certain things that need an actual brain to decipher that a computer just cannot pick up.

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.

We are changing the company.
Watch and see. And all your rage and CAPS can't change that. The lawsuits, the SEC, the shareholders, the clients. We are all changing the company.
Changing Careers
I absolutely LOVE medical transcription work. It is the best kind of work for me. I have always, up until five years ago, made plenty of money to support my family (I am a single 45 year old mom).
However, I have become very scared. So, I have 80% decided that I have to go back to school and start over. It makes me sick, but I can't watch my pay decrease every year like this.
I really, really, really want to continue MT work, but it just doesn't feel secure for me anymore.
AND - changing careers at my age is also scary, but I have a friend who did it at 50-something years old, so I guess I can, too.
Who's changing the subject?
and so am I.
Try to keep up.
This is changing the subject a bit, but.....
What about birds? If people had a bird that they had in a cage, and not let FLY for exercise, is that a bad pet-owner? Most bird owners that I know of, have birds in a cage and they let their birds poo in a cage on the paper in the bottom of the cage.
What about cats? Cats are domesticated animals just like dogs and some people NEVER let their cats go outside. They let their cats do their business in a litter box.
I just don't see any difference in this and using the potty pads, and like I said, I have used potty pads with previous dogs I have had. They do not smell if you pick up the dirty pad right away, which I do when at all possible. It's the dog hiking his leg on the furniture which is NOT acceptable to me and I agree--it stinks and I have a terrible problem going on with this---I try to clean it up as soon as I can, but he is definitely ruining my floors and thus why I was asking for advice on the hiking of the leg. We need new floors (carpet) in our house anyway and we are planning on replacing them soon but I need to get the dog re-trained somehow before we get the new flooring or else I'll still be in the same boat I'm in now. I've just got to figure out how to retrain him back to the potty pads. Wish me luck!
Have a nice day!
Jen, seriously, the face of MT is changing. sm
Get that degree. Trust me on this. Yes, it's nice sitting home in jammies with the kids. I did it a lot of years, but I made way more money then than now. Things are changing drastically and fast in this field. Get the degree.
You are changing your position.
I breed Yorkies and was in the pet care business for over 30 years. Of course, you love your pets and they have a place in your family but you do not let a dog growl at you, as you stated. One of your original posts you said if a dog growled or bit, oh well, dogs have bad days, too. That gives a very different impression than the one you are trying to make now.
