audio playback keyboard shortcuts - Gray


Posted: Oct 16, 2012

Does anybody know what the keyboard shortcuts are to stop and start audio playback in DQS?

I know I have done it by accident before, and it keeps playing, unlike if you use the foot pedan where you have to hold it down the whole time.   I have never liked having to hold the pedal down.  I was used to Express Scribe, where you can tap to start and stop and don't have to keep your foot pressed down.  Now I am standing up some of the time while working to avoid sitting so much, which is not healthy.  Having to hold the pedal down while standing is really annoying.  I have found that clicking the play button keeps it going, but I prefer to use keyboard shorcuts whenever I can, so if anybody can fill me in on that, that would be great.  I will try to remember to check F1 to see if it is in there next time I am in a job, but I might forget.

Thanks!

I tried that - Gray

because I read it somewhere, but it did not work, so I thought it might be for an older version of DQS. I am using 7.1, is that what you are working in?

Thanks!

yes, works for me on 7.1 - NM

Weird.

Thanks!

Turns out my word expansion software is making the shortcut not work - Gray

I will have to see if there is a work around for it I guess.

Figured it out, - Gray

so now I can use the keyboard to operate the audio. It makes standing up while working much more pleasant.

That's great. Glad you found the problem - and solution. NM

Foot Pedal/audio Playback
Jan 26, 2015

Does this happen to anyone else - your footpedal stops working in the middle of a note and you have to use the keyboard commands to finish playing the audio, you upload the job and the footpedal may work for the next note or may not.  Frustrating.  Not as good with the keyboard commands for audio.  I have shut down and restarted and that will help for a while.  Called IT and of course, they say my footpedal is fine and to shut down if it happens then log back in.  Its ri ...

Fluency Editor And Audio With Keyboard
Apr 30, 2014

I can't make the Ctrl + Spacebar work to toggle the audio on and off (alternative to foot pedal) in the Fluency editor.  I am using the most recent rendition, 7.4 something, but it hasn't work in the last 2 renditions either.  All other commands seem to work.  I am wondering if this command works for others and it's more likely something to do with my system or if the command itself just doesn't work (is there a different combination anyone knows of)?  Rem ...
