Express Scribe Difficulties
May 03, 2011

I have just started having trouble with Express Scribe. Regardless of whether I am using the foot pedal or the function keys, it is as if the program does not recognize what I am doing. Sometimes it takes multiple presses of the stop button or taps on the footpedal to get the dictation to stop. Sometimes when I press reverse on the footpedal I end up playing or fast forwarding. At first, restarting my computer seemed to fix the problem, but now nothing seems to make much difference. Any suggesti ...
