ASR highlighter color question - ac


Posted: Nov 24, 2012

I'd rather ask real people who use this ASR than call a tech who can't understand me.

Is there any way to change the color from dark purple to a lighter color? I can't hardly see my cursor. I know if I Cntrl + G it will attach and change color but attaching it is kind of useless when I have to edit every other word.

I've looked all over this silly software and can't find anything. I heard before there was no way of changing it but I'm hoping somebody found it. I even changed my color scheme for the computer. Still nothing.

There is no way to change it. It's on their MT "wish list". - dnr

Unfortunately, your computer's window color scheme you chose has no effect on DQS window screens. That white document screen has been killing me, and I find it difficult to see the words underneath their stupidly conceived highlighter.

I did succeed in getting support who could understand what I was talking about after a bit of explaining. It was a while back before offshoring this too.

Crud. - ac

I'm sure they'll take their time with our wish list. It's not like it's their eyes being tortured with screens that are too bright and highlighters that are too dark.

I just turn mine off altogether. - I find it

annoying like just about everything else in this job, and one of the few things I can control.
I have mine off too, and I dimmed the screen on the - monitor... much easier on the eyes

That is all I know.

Mine is off - See Msg

That highligher confuses me. I can't use it at all. I turned it off right away, first time I used ASR. The reports are too much of a mess, and it just messes with my brain. If you're used to it, you may have trouble not using it, but try it anyway. Give it some time.

when you click on an error,  I would logically have assumed that would take you to the spot where the error is in the text.   Nope.  It may,  maybe,  go to the spot in the voice job, but not in the text. How in the world does anyone learn from their mistakes here????  This color-coded crap is way too confusing, the screen in Emdat is way too small to see anything properly, and I have a laundry list of other complaints but that would take too long to print here ...
