footpedal versus Ctrl keys

Anyone having trouble finding a keyboard that can hold up to the heavy use on the Ctrl and Shift keys? I use these to block by word. If you have any suggestions, appreciate them! I struggle with keyboarding, especially with the numbered lists of drugs, and wonder any one transcribes these instead of edits them. I used to do that, but got into the editing habit hoping to help Speech learn it and help my coworkers. Tired of waiting for what isn't gonna happen.&nb ...

I recently had to have my computer in the shop and they wiped my hard drive clean but the tech did not back some of my files and I lost them. Needless to say I was upset because I had a list of esription hot keys for VR (Nuace program) and Word hot keys. Does anyone have a list of them as I refer to them often. TIA. ...

Is the ctrl+m/ctrl+shift+m function that synchronizes the voice file to the cursor now gone with this upgrade? ...

Just curious if anyone is using it. It is supposed to save us keystrokes (like they really care) but I turned it off after the first 2 lines of my first ASR report. I was wasting more time than usual trying to attach and reattach and didn't see a benefit. I would love to hear if someone has found it beneficial. Otherwise the new 7 is fine. I love being able to change the font size and type to whatever mood strikes me for the day. Same keystrokes to access ...

The CTRL F7 feature is to enable notification of gender mismatch, or catch that we didn't change cc to mL (if the client requests that) or positive allergens are not in all caps (again, if the client requests that.) It doesn't work on any of my accounts. Tech supports says it has to be requested by the client, so I'm wondering if its a money issue. Or maybe its something our CCMs have to input per client and they are overworked so don't have time to do it. So, r ...

The one that takes the voice to where you put the cursor? Sometimes it works and sometimes it just does not. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. It seems to NOT work quite a bit and I like to use that function a lot....... :( ...

I keep getting e-mails that I am not using this shortcut while editing in 7.1. I don't understand how it works (I've tried) and how is it helpful? Seems like unnecessary keystrokes to me. Anybody using it who cares to explain it? TIA ...

The one where you can hit shift/ctrl/M or control M to take the cursor to the voice and the voice to the cursor. It's a really handy feature but I find that about half the time (more recently!) it just does NOT work. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem and if there's something I'm somehow messing up to stop it from working? TIA :) ...

I hope things change for the better for those who remain. But since willfully stupid optimism isn't really my thing, I hope everyone who is unhappy with what has become of what used to be a pretty sweet gig finds better opportunities before things get much worse. Off to exorcise all this garbage from my computer, and then on to pastures with more life in them. ...

Hello! I am about to test for a company that uses EMDAT (have not used this software in some time. I am wondering how do you mark a blank. The rest I think will come back to me. I know CTRL Q goes to QA but I cannot find anything on marking blanks. TIA. ...

current date into the body of the report, it's puts the WRONG date. For example, I just noticed that it put 11/08/2010, and of course it's 08/10/2010. So, I may have been inserting the incorrect address until noticing this. Does this happen with anyone else or just me? Is it a stupid "upgrade" glitch.......or is it just another way that QA can ding us and get us below 98%. I hate sounding so paranoid, but that is what working for MQ has done to me.&n ...

It really drives me nuts. I don't have carpet on the floor and my footpedal just constantly slides away from me. Have to reach out with my foot and pull it back. I tried putting a carpet square under it but that doesn't work, that slides too. Any suggestions? TY ...

I currently am using a dictaphone footpedal for ExText, but I am in the process of upgrading to Windows 7 and was told the version of ExText upgrades and I need a USB-2 footpedal. Does anyone know if this can be replaced by the dictaphone or do I absolutely need to have a USB-2? TIA! ...

For those of you who are experienced with VR, do you use the footpedal to control the audio or the keyboard. I am new to this. I am used to using the footpedal but have heard from a couple of others that using the keyboard to control audio seems to be faster for them. I would like some opinions please. Also, maybe you could tell me how long your learning curve was. How long did it take to get your speed up to the point that you were making what you could make trans ...

I need to know what footpedal is great to start out on to do my practice transcription? Just listening to Cd's is what I am dictating off from? The second thing what headphone would you go with also?

Anyone know a website for cheap footpedals? What I looked at was $75. Is there anywhere to get one cheaper? That's for the Infinity usb pedals. ...

Does anyone have any suggestion to stop a footpedal from sticking? I have to push on it several times to get the voice to play and then when I lift my foot up the voice files continues to play. I tried blowing in it to remove dust but that didn't help. It just started this morning and it is driving me crazy!!! Thanks in advance! ...

I have this doctor who wants me to do some transcription for him at home. He dictates on some kind of digital "thing" (his words) and then removes the flash drive from it, which he will give to me to take home. I am to stick this in my computer and it will play the files on Media Player. I guess I get to type in plain old Word, pretty old school. How do I get my foot pedal to work with Media Player? It's just your standard old generic USB connected foot pedal ...

Does dictaphone footpedal work with chartnet, or do I have to have a USB-1 or USB-2 pedal? TIA. ...

Last time I tested I was unable to get the footpedal to work with it and had to use hand controls to stop start. PITA!!! Is there a secret to getting this to work or are there some companies whose test dictations work better with foot control? ...

Hi all. I am using the Infinity USB-2 footpedal with Windows 7. Recently, I started experiencing a problem wherein when I remove my foot from the play switch the dictation does not stop. I try tapping the switch again and nothing happens. I simply have to stp the dictation manually and exit my transcription program and then reopen the file and fast forward to the spot where I left off previously and continue transcribing. I have noticed that this generally only happens wi ...

Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...

I'm using a USB footpedal (9-pin with an adaptor). Usually it works fine. From time to time I can't get it to work. It has something to do with the settings. I know how to choose a setting (COM2, COM3, etc) in Escription. But I think it has to match the setting on the computer and that's what I forget how to do. Can anyone help? When I have a VR job it doesn't matter but when a regular transcription job comes along I need the pedal to work. Thanks ...

I am researching getting some at-home work for either medical or regular transcription via the internet. I am a very experienced med transcriptionist but am very hesitant to work for a national company due to a previous bad experience. Can anybody give me a rundown on what the best equipment would be? I am looking at an Infinity USB footpedal (do I also need a 9-point serial adapter for versatility? I do have an Olympus Pearlcorder T1000 micro-cassette transcriber, but am wonde ...
