turning off eScription's red box - ndmt


Posted: Nov 05, 2009

Is there a way to turn this box off? Our system is not well trained yet so there is a lot of editing required. The alt-K combination is awkward for me when having to stop every few words to correct something. I edit by forwarding my cursor through the document (like the red box does) but then there is no extra work in bringing the cursor forward to where the edit needs to made as it is already there.

Thanks for the input!

VR red box turned off, OMG - VR here

Question for you. If you leave your PC for a minute and come back, how in the world would you ever know where you were? I love the red box and really never bothers me as it's just there. I don't use the keys so making corrections in mine has always been a breeze.

I don't think there is a way to turn it off. I'm trying to learn to deal with it - it has it's pros and cons. The only way I've found to edit without the red box cursor is to install Express Scribe and use it instead of the eScription audio.

For some reason the red box has never bothered me, but I hated the bouncing highlighter on the VR program at my former company. Very distracting. I like the function keys with Escription but they ones at the other company just made their program even slower.

I have been on eScription for over a year and I didn't like the red box at first. I got used to it and now I don't even see it, really.

I'll say one thing - no wonder the MT industry is upside down.  For crying out loud, IRS referred me to DOL.  DOL referred me back to IRS.  When I persisted in wanting an answer from the DOL, I was told she would "have to talk to her supervisor to see if it was worth pursuing this issue."  I've not heard back.  I guess if I were a bigwig politician, I might actually get some attention to this matter.  It just amazes me that nobody seems to want to be respo ...

It May Be People Like Turning Worm Who Caused MQ To React And Lay Off For Fear Sm

of a possible class action lawsuit. If you started taking things to the Labor Board you can bet MQ will be forced to let go of people. I'm not saying MM is not to blame because I DO believe they are sending 80% of the work to India for cheap labor and to avoid excessive taxes. They have a right to do that. MM provided work to American workers to provide some with jobs, not to make a profit. It's expensive to employ American MTs thanks to the US Govt, but that's for another day.&nb ...

For a company with technology in its name, I find this platform sorely lacking. Constantly having to correct capitals I don't want when I take out a period, it not putting a macro over what I want to change and all this backing up and retyping to change stuff or get a macro to work where I want it is driving me crazy (I know, short trip) and wasting a lot of time.   Don't they have any engineers or programmers who can get around this?  Guess I just got spoiled at Precyse; mac ...

The entire platform seems just plain overwhelming wit ...

I'm Back With More ?? For Escription

I have now been doing EditScript for a month now and my lines are still horrific. I've read the manual over and over and still have the below questions. I'm only doing 1/4 of what I used to do and it hurts. 1.  I have to minimize and maximize my screen to see more than 10-14 lines. Anyone else have this problem? I think it has something to do with the header because if I change something in the header, I have to minimize and maximize again. 2.  I follow the red bo ...
