DQS slowdown, "sticking" problems - LK


Posted: Jun 15, 2010

I don't work for MQ, but work for another company that uses DocQscribe.  Over the past few months I've had problems with program slowdowns, where it takes a while for what I've typed to "catch up", the audio keeps going even when I take my foot off the pedal, and I have trouble going back in the audio (it "sticks" at a certain point).  I did a search of this board and see that some MQ employees have had a similar problem.  I've done a number of things to try to resolve this - reloaded DQS, changed my anti-virus program, and tried closing down all open programs while I'm working in DQS.  None of this has made any difference.  The problem comes and goes without rhyme or reason.  At times DQS works fine, other times it has these problems, which sometimes makes it almost impossible to work.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for me?  Should I get more RAM?  Any other ideas?

Not sure exactly how this works, but I do know it caused me the same problems you described and a tech person helped me resolve it. Maybe you can contact someone in tech who will be able to help you with it. Good luck. I know how much of a pain it is to get slowed down when trying to produce.

Mine did that when McAfee was updating - anon

and let them install Kaspersky on my system. It has been (knock on wood) excellent so far! No bugs, problems or slow downs like so many were experiencing when they first rolled it out at MQ

Has Anyone Been Able To Determine A Pattern Regarding The Slowdown Of DQS? Sm
Jun 10, 2010

Jobs have been uploading and downloading all morning very quickly but all of a sudden are downloading very slowly again.  I have to wait for the audio to complete downloading and at times am typing faster than the download (on a DSL connection with no problems with my internet).  This downloading slowly problem seems to have at some point everyday but I haven't been able to figure out a pattern.  Can this be controlled somehow or it is just a coincidence?  Has anybody el ...

Is anyone having problems with DQS sticking?  It just started on mine a little while ago but it's irritating.  I was wondering if it maybe had something to do with the new Kaspersky program we had to install.  ...


Is Anyone Sticking Around To See How Things Go?
Feb 17, 2010

I recently lost my MT job with a pretty decent company.  It was due to lack of work.  I know this is happening a lot these days, and I've been reading a lot of the posts here.  I know that no field is perfect, but I have to do something.  How many of you plan on (or can) stick around to see how things go, and how many of you are going back to school or getting into a different field? ...


Footpedal Sticking
Mar 09, 2012

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 Think If I Was Sticking Around With MM I Would Try The Coding
Mar 11, 2014

What do you have to lose? The only thing that would turn me off is the 2 year requirement to stay here but a lot of companies do that. Some companies provide college education reimbursement if you stay working for them for so long after you graduate.  I think MM knows that transcription industry is in the toilet so they are focusing on whatever else they can sell to customers and look good to their creditors. They now have a D rating on Standard and Poors which is not good for a company.&nb ...

FOOT PEDAL STICKING
Nov 03, 2012

I just wanted to thank whoever suggested WD-40 for foot pedal sticking.  I have an IN-USB-1 foot pedal that was sticking.  I did try cleaning the dust out -- put it back together but it was still sticking -- that is when I would depress the PLAY button, it sometimes would keep playing and press again to stop -- continually -- sometimes I would press the PLAY button and it would not play, etc.  Someone on here suggested WD-40 without taking the pedal apart.  I took this a ...


My Right Shift Key Is Sticking. I Opened A Coke At My Desk
Dec 03, 2010

and it spewed.  It only dripped a little bit on the keyboard and I immediately cleaned it up, but obviously a drop or two got down into the shift key and now it is sticking and it is driving me bonkers.  It's a new keyboard so I really don't want to have to pop out the key.  Any other suggestions? ...
