Software, foot pedals, Fiesa and the whole 9 yards - Pollyanna


Posted: Jan 25, 2014

Am I one of a few who still remain unhappy with this E-Beyond Text? So much minutia to create a report - book marks, numbering absolutely everything. Not to mention the numbering in VR is a nightmare to correct. A real time waster!  Then there's the foot pedal that is slow as Christmas to advance or back up - what's with that? Aren't we paid on production?  Too many obstacles to create a living wage!  Top it off with unfair scores on FIESA that take an act of Congress to get corrected.  This industry is treating us like we're in a third world country and can't do any better. It's nothing more than an electronic sweat shop.

You're not alone - in disliking eBtxt

Especially that Ctl+Alt+' thing every time you go from a heading to the text below it. And the old BTXT would know to capitalize the next letter when you edited in a period. I suspect the change was for reasons other than to benefit the MLS.

DVI Foot Pedals?
Jan 15, 2010

Does anyone else have issues with the DVI-INF foot pedals using the USB adapter?  I can push the pedal and nothing happens.  The file will not play.  It often will to the 1 second step-back, but does not play after that.  So, I'm here pressing the pedal 4-5 times getting it stepped back 4-5 seconds before it'll finally play.  It's driving me crazy!  I'd like to know if this is a common problem with this pedal/system or if it's just me having ...


Foot Pedals Sm

May have to switch jobs soon and get some more equipment (bugger).  What is the difference between a WAV pedal and something like Infinity?  Are they interchangeable, one better than the other, etc?  Is there anything universal (I'm thinking probably not). Any help or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks in advance. ...


USB Foot Pedals
Dec 12, 2011

Hi guys:  I have an Infinity (IN-USB-1) foot pedal.  I was searching for a job for a company that ad says ( DVI Voice Wave foot pedal – must say IN-USB-DVI).  Would the IN-USB-1 that I have work or would I need an adapter/new foot pedal)?  Thanks in advance. ...


Foot Pedals
Dec 14, 2014

My particular little swallowed-up branch of Nuance is provided replacement foot pedals, specificially Infinity USB ones. I see some new employees need to have their own foot pedals. Amazing to me that Nuance provides anything, considering what they've taken away from us, but as per usual it comes with a catch. My problem is usually these things last me at least a year or so, lately they have been breaking within months, and every single time I need to contact tech and go through this ridic ...


Testing And Foot Pedals...is It Just Me Or
Jan 06, 2010

does most testing not work with your foot pedal?  I have only taken 2 tests in the last 2 months that my foot pedal worked.  All the rest, I had to struggle with F1 and such.  It really slowed me down and I am sure affected my testing.  Any help or advice out there?  I did download the pedable program and checked to make sure my pedal was in working order. Puzzled.... ...

File Transfer Protocol And Foot Pedals
Dec 20, 2014

Hi everyone!  I feel like such a dunce!  I'm in my 60s, thought how great it would be to do transcription from home.  I transcribed everything from radiology to oncology, orthopedics, general surgery, doctor's visits, you name it.  Then I became an EMT, then a nurse.  Well, you get the general idea.  Back then, your ONLY transcription gear was a dictaphone machine that played either mini cassettes or regular cassettes.  I picked up the work, drove it ...


Infinity Foot Pedal And DSS Software

Recommend Foot Pedal And/or Software
Jan 24, 2013

Up until now I have not had to buy my own pedal or software, but many companies seem require this.  I could use some recommendations, as I'm a little lost. I would like to be prepared in advance, but do not wish to spend money on something that can't be used.  What kind do you recommend?  I think a pedal that plays both dss. and wav. files, but what about software?  Something that is versatile?    ...


Fiesa Quality Software? Any Companies Besides Encompass Using This Yet?
Nov 03, 2010

Something new that's being instituted since our recent acquisition by Nuance, so maybe Focus is using it already?  Looks like a way to get even pickier about QA, in my opinion, which our incentives are based upon.  I've been really happy about the way Encompass has done QA up until this time.  While the requirement is really high (99% minimum, 99.5% for incentive bonus), the way they add all the lines together first and then average out from there is totally logical, un ...

Hi, My 3-year-old Windows XP laptop crashed on Monday; thankfully my 7-year-old Windows XP desktop still chugs along (slowly) and I've been able to do my transcription work without a glitch (for the most part).

My boyfriend already has a Windows 7 and he is testing my transcription software and foot pedal on the virtual Windows XP mode that Windows 7 Professional comes with. The problem is that while ...
