Your settings are definitely wrong if it takes you that long.

Go to File/preferences, and reset the Pause _ msec after ___ Keystrokes to Pause 1 msec after every 25 keystrokes. You will see an amazing difference in the speed of the program.

Look under Settings, I think. Your pedal might be in the wrong port. nm

Agree with pat..takes too long
I'm a member of NFO and after about three months I have about 970 points, and you need 1,000 points for just $10. I only receive about two invites a week for surveys, don't know how to get anymore than that. I'm also a MyPoints member. I usually just get the 5 points for reading the message and never buy anything, so it takes a long time to get points added up for me. Maybe once a year I do redeem them for about $20 worth of gift cards.
The people who advertise that you can do the surveys in your spare time and make all this extra money make it sound like you can just log on to a site and they are sitting there waiting for you, and you can do as many as you want, all day long, for as much money as you want to make. Wouldn't that be nice!
I have never heard of or seen the car advertising thing except on cabs and public transportation, oh, and of course delivery trucks and cars.
I don't know how long it takes YOU to go to the bathroom...
but 40 minutes sure is enough time in 8 hours...give me a break...
You don't want to record, takes a long time and unless you
are making big $$ you won't make any money. Also, if you forget to rerecord header info you're out of luck.
You can get an adapter from Radio Shack for about $15 and rerecord to a cassette player, in which case you'll need a transcriber, or record to your computer and I'm not sure how that is done.
As I stated last week when you asked this question, you need to look into digital phone service, something like Vonage, or most high-speed internet services also offer it.
You could also buy prepaid phone cards at Sam's Club, where they are fairly cheap, but you're still talking about $100+/mo. My digital phone is $34.95/month and you can keep your landline or switch it to digital, which is what I did.
It takes a long time to become familiar with
all of the surgical instruments and equipment in operative reports. Most of the time if you do operative reports you usually do all specialties, and each specialty has certain equipment that they use. It just takes time to learn.

Good answers and becoming a skilled MT takes surprisingly long, but SM
although 5 years may be about average, there's an old saying about how some people have 20 years' experience and some have one year repeated 20 times. If you want to cut that 5 years down VERY substantially, work full time (a conscientious full time, not just slopping thru the day) and push for new work types and accounts as woon as you've milked the old ones for all you can learn from them. Plus, a reality is that availability of the Web as a resource now helps people function at a much higher level earlier than previously.

I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

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.
How long should I wait after applying for a position before I follow-up. It has been as long as two
without hearing from some. Just wondering if I should send an e-mail to follow-up to see if they received my resume or not. I don't want to offend anyone but feel two weeks should be long enough for someone to at least acknowledge my resume and that I have applied for a position. Right now I would accept anything even a note saying no thanks. Any advice would be appreciated. I haven't had to apply for a job for the past 10 years so I am a bit rusty at this. Thanks again for any advice.
Did you check all your settings and especially....

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 could see much better but the settings slowed down my computer..sm..
I didn't have any trouble getting it back though. Hope you find something that works.
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.
