Moving cursor in EXtext - Partsman41953


Posted: Jan 22, 2015

Hello, 

I work for a local cardiology group and we use Nuance with Dragon (EXtext). I was wondering if there is a way to have the cursor move along automatically while I have the foot pedal down so I do not have to take my right hand off the keyboard to move the cursor with the right arrow button. If there is a way that would allow me to cut down on a lot of errors I am making by having to keep moving my right hand from the arrow back to the keyboard. 

Thanks

 

Try holding the Ctrl key with left hand and directional keys - (the up, down, sideways keys)

...with your right. See if that works. My cursor can zip through a document like this on the platform I am on.

HELP With VR Cursor
Jan 30, 2010

Does anyone out there know how to get the voice cursor to move to the word cursor on EditScript.  Mine appears to be stuck at the very beginning of the document I am working on (not in the top header, but in the body).  My ALT keys won't move it, and I can't get it to move in the editing toolbar either. I'd like to know how to dislodge it from the beginning of the body.  Any suggestions would be VERY helpufl!!  Thanks! ...


How To Keep Cursor Where I Put It?
Dec 03, 2011

Help, I forget what to do to keep the cursor where I put it.  It is now going to wherever the dictation is and the doctor said to go back to admitting diagnosis and put something in but the cursor keeps going back to end of page where the dictation is.  I forget what maneuver/keys to click to keep the cursor where I put it.  Thank you. ...


Cursor Question
Jan 27, 2010

Does anyone know if there's a way when you used your control+arrow (lt/rt) key to skip over a word, if there's some way I can arrange it so the cursor ends up at the end at the word instead of at the beginning of the next word?  I find more often it would help if the cursor landed at the end of the word I'm skipping rather than the beginning of the next word.  Too much backspacing throughout the day. Ha, and I'm sure some of you thought I meant to put "c ...


Erratic Cursor
Dec 04, 2010

I am working off a laptop - Dell Inspiron 1520.  It is almost 3 years old now.  For the first 2 years, I did not have this problem but, all of a sudden, I developed this erratic cursor problem.  My hand placement has not changed - and, yes, hands tend to float over the touchpad while typing - that's unavoidable - but, again, did not present a problem for the first 2 years.  Why all of a sudden now?  I will be typing and suddenly the cursor is off in No-Man's-La ...

More Than Fed Up With No Highlight For The Cursor
May 18, 2014

If we can put a man on the moon can we not get the highlighter back for the cursor location?  I'm wasting so much time trying to find where I am when I'm researching a drug or something that takes me away from the text.  This is a real handicap and costing me dearly! ...


Slow Cursor...
Oct 02, 2014

Does anyone else have this problem? I can type a few words or a lengthy sentence, but the cursor is super slow and lags behind. Not only that, but the audio will just keep going until the cursor finishes "typing" what I did and will not respond to the foot pedal. Sometimes it can take quite awhile for the cursor to catch up. ...


Got A New MQ PC Today. Cursor Question
Oct 07, 2010

While reviewing a report, I use my right arrow key to follow along and it is moving very slowly and seems to stop at every single letter even with keeping my finger on the arrow button.  Does anyone know how to make the cursor just move and not stop at every letter.  I know you can hit Control plus arrow key to make it go faster, but that speeds it up super fast.  It is a blessing for a new PC as I had a virus, but it is also a curse because you have to set everything up to the ...

Voice Cursor/red Rectangle In EditScript MT
May 25, 2012

Hi everyone: Is there a way to turn off the voice cursor/red rectangle in EditScript MT - OTHER than the administrator doing it in eMon? I am A.D.D, and it is driving me OUT OF MY MIND! I'm guessing if you don't have A.D.D., then that little red rectangle won't bother you or at least you'll get used to it, but for me (and I'm guessing others like me), I don't see it getting any better. I already have so many distractions in my brain, and I really need that stupid re ...

Moving On.........
May 27, 2011

I'm not very happy with my current company due to the loss of several benefits, cost of living pay, etc. and thought about checking out some larger companies, but after reading posts for a lot of major companies, I think I'll stay where I am. At least I have work 90% of the time and I'm paid 8 to 9 cents per line. The grass isn't always greener. :)   ...

Moving Practice To EMR.
Dec 22, 2009

I received a call today from a doctor that I know.  His practice is switching over to EMR, and he wants someone to coordinate that transition.  New patients are easily entered into the system, but he has a temporary need to get the old records into the EMR system.  His office staff is too busy to add this big job to their workload, and I think he correctly determined that he needs someone who can read the old office records, understand them, and then extract the info that needs to ...

FIRED FOR MOVING
Sep 02, 2010

I was recently fired from my MT position because I moved to a different state. I was a full-time employee. I was never informed of such a policy and had actually moved to this state a few years ago when working with the same company. This was apparently a new policy they had come up several months ago. The kicker is that I informed my supervisor of my move and even provided my address and nothing was said until I moved. ...

Moving On After SoftScript
Feb 07, 2013

I, too, was one of the "account specific victims" at SoftScript.  I was fired for a QA score of 90%.  This score was from 100% account specific errors (same error over and over in four different reports).  Rather than counting one formatting or specific error, they dinged me over and over, making my QA score 90.4%.   My question is, when applying for future jobs, if they call SS for a reference, will they tell them that my QA score was that low?  I have never in my 20 y ...

I hope this encourages some of you to see what is out there.  Submitting a resume or filli ...
