Definitely a common font size. Ask if increasing the zoom on your end

Increasing the zoom view does not increase the font size.

zoom up/down
If you work in Word, you can make a shortcut.
I use zup (shortcut)
Command is
{Alt + V} ze 125 {enter}
The 125 can changed in your shortcut to whatever type is good for you.
You can reverse zup to zud or zoom down the same way, and changing the 125 to whatever lower font is good.
I am increasing my pay
I understand the point you're making, but the bottom line is that my pay IS increasing. In most jobs, you don't have that option. I am working more, true, but I CAN increase what I get on my paycheck. And because of production incentives, I actually do make more per line when I type more. Fortunately for me there is enough work at my company (for now) to allow me to do this. If there wasn't, I would get a second job.
SM about zoom
I have a 19-inch screen. I work in Dictaphone EXText. My word document comes up in 100% view. It appears so tiny on my big screen. I make it zoom to 250%. The document then fits my screen perfectly; whereas when it was in 100% view mode, it only covered about 50% of my screen. I am trying to be without a mouse when working (but of course I use a mouse to surf the web), but with work, I am trying to just use all keyboard functions which would be more efficient with VR. The only way to make my view bigger before was by using my stupid mouse and to click on a drop-down menu....now the zoom feature is on my keyboard. Make sense? Love it.
Increasing VR production?
I have been working on this account for 3 weeks now and I am playing the audio as fast as I can understand it, but I still cannot get 2500+ lines a day. I am trying to use all of the eScription's shortcut keys and keep my hand off that mouse too. What else can I do? I need to be making at $100 a day to survive. Any tips would be really really appreciated. Thanks
The problem is they are too big. No increasing needs to be done. I just need to firm them somehow!

increasing line count
The key here is word expanders. I put everything in there. As much as I can. Words, sentences, whole paragraphs. Be creative. The more you have the faster you will go.
Increasing line count - help!
Ok, guys I need your expertise. I started with a new company and now have 11 accounts, each with different formatting/rules and of course MANY doctors. I tried putting some of the common phrases in my expander, but it is not often I get the same doctors again. Needless to say, my line count is low. I'm trying to find a solution other than crying and collapsing every day after my shift. Knowing this situation -- new doctors, a range of different reports/formatting, how do I increase my line count? Has anyone ever gone through this? Please help!
Exercises for increasing speed
I have read a few folks asking about this and thought I would share.
When I was mentoring MTs, I would point them in the direction of a post by Redpen on Mtchat. In that post, she takes folks thru an exercise of firstly writing down all the times/things you are doing during your shift that is not transcribing. Then after you see the time you spend at work but not working, she talks about listening ahead, so you make fewer mistakes (because you have listened ahead and you know if the doctor is going to tell you to scratch that or whatever).

Looking for tips for increasing my productivity on SR.
I fairly new to SR. I've been MT'ing for 16 years. I was wondering if there are any secrets to increasing production. I use Dictaphone SR. Basically, when I get into the report I do a quick read through and correct any formatting that needs to be done, i.e. bold and capitalize headings, put in paragraphs, numbered lists, etc. Then I listen to the report from start to finish, editing as a I go along.
I was just wondering is there a faster way to get through a report. I'm not sure if the Dictaphone SR report quality will improve over time, but right now it requires an extensive amount of editing and correction. Sometimes it would be quicker to type the darn report!
Increasing production in Editscript.
In Escription, I often use my Expander when editing. Because it is Word based, I also use Autocorrect and Autotext and always use macros to handle any client-specific formatting corrections. Because there is no distortion in audio, I keep the speed at the fastest I can comprehend.
And yes, depending on the account, I can double, but not quite triple, my production.

Is there a way to create a macro for adjusting zoom?
In other words, if I want to adjust my zoom from 100% to 125% and then back to 100% before uploading without having to click view, zoom, etc, is there a way to create a shortcut to switch between zoom views? I just can't see well at 100%. I need glasses, obviously, but in the meantime I want to be able to see better without the strain to my eyes. Its just such a hassle to change zoom back and forth for every document, but we cannot upload them with the zoom at anything more or less than 100%.
Increasing Line Count-Shortcuts
ok, i was reading the posts about you gals typing 2000 lines a day. everyone suggested using all the expansions and shortcuts you can. I use autocorrect in word and autotext. Can anyone post some suggestions for expanders? I use some, but I am not getting anywhere near 2000 lines. It could also be because I am in my first year at home. Any more suggestions?
microsoft 4000 ergo, I use, with zoom in/out,

Set up your template to open in the zoom level you want. sm
Then you can record a macro and assign a hot key to change it back when you're finished with the report.
Mentioned below, zoom in over 100% on your toolbar won't change print nm
nm
Open your template dot file and change the zoom... sm
percentage to whatever you want. Then you have to do something in the document area -- such as pressing the spacebar and backspace -- so Word thinks you actually made a change to the template and answer yes to the message when you close it out. Every new document will open with your new zoom level.
Does anyone know where to get a good deal on a Kodak digital with zoom and who has the best prices
on them. I just want a simple to use Kodak easyshare that is reasonably priced with zoom on it.
Microsoft split ergo with volume and zoom controls.

Open the normal.dot file and change your zoom. Hit the space and backspace and close it.
