Try this:

In Express Scribe go up to the top and hit the File tab and then go down and hit Special Audio Processes and there is one called Background Noise Reduction. You can try it and see if that helps at all.

Sep 18, 2011

Just switched to Express Scribe and trying to figure out a setting.  I have quite a few dictators where I just listen to the dictation and change a few words here and there.  However, when I hit the foot pedal to fast forward through the report it will only fast forward for a few seconds and then it goes back to normal speed.  Anyone know how to change the setting where it would continue to move in fast forward speed until I take my foot off the pedal.  Any help is appreciated! ...

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 ...
