ExEditor - slowness, cursor dragging, freezing - frustrated


Posted: Dec 11, 2009

Anyone working on this and having problems with it?  I have been having problems with slowness, cursor dragging, freezing.  It is worse with longer reports, but is sporadic and I really can't find a definite pattern.  Anyone else?

Frustrated - gonzo

Had that, called tech help (their in India too...) They ran a virus scan, malware thingy and defragmented it. My computer was loaded with spyware, adware and all kinds of crud. Try that. All that stuff is pre-loaded if your computer came from your company.

Warning: The defrag took a long time.

Not the OP, but defragging didn't help me. Nothing helped. - nm

ExEditor Freezing Up
Jun 02, 2015

Anybody using ExEditor for TT/Imedx having problems with their screen freezing up every minute or so after 6 pm CST? I've been noticing this for a while, and it's really, really getting annoying. My screen will freeze, then the IE icon starts spinning, screen blinks, then everything okay for a little bit more. It doesn't happen when I am doing a typed report or working on my Escription account, just the speech reports for ExEditor. Everything works fine until 6, and then whammo - ...


Fluency And Slowness
Dec 28, 2013

I just started on Fluency (came from Acquisitions) and notice some of the AutoHotKey shortcuts I created for VR have a lag. I have a separate PC and a laptop, so have a computer used only for work that I bought about 2 years ago. I have 6 GB of RAM.   I've uninstalled a previous MTSO platform and there are no other programs loaded except for Instant Text and AutoHotKey, yet my CPU usage is ridiculously high when I'm working. It's 50-60% CPU and it sometimes spikes at 100! For ...


My Reasons For Dragging My Feet On 6.1.
Sep 15, 2010

have nothing to do with difficulty, upload/download time, or any MT-related issues. The majority of you STILL DON'T GET IT.  6.1. is an enhancement for back-end editing. Back-end editing means more automatiion and need for fewer and fewer real live human MTs to do MQ work. So great, jump on the bandwagon to eliminate your jobs.  I'm relatively confident I'll be one of the last to be let go whether I upgrade to 6.1 now or a month from now or whenever. You are just mak ...


Webmedx Employees--question About Slowness
Jun 11, 2010

Hi fellow Webmedxers... Just got a new computer AND started on New Version Enterprise.  Issues galore, the biggest being slowness--what I mean is it seems like when I start transcribing fast as usual, the software (?) struggles to keep up with me and slightly pauses here and there and then misspells words--it's driving me CRAZY.  I'm usually a high producer but right now that's gone to pot.  Anyone know exactly WHAT is causing this craziness--the new computer ...

ExEditor Changes
Mar 24, 2015

Has anyone else noted a difference in the way ExEditor works on the information screen since recent servers changes or updates? used to be able to verify pt mrn, hit return and it would take you to visit id section; now it goes right to document without giving change to choose correct visit. would appreciate hearing from anyone who's having problem like that; don't think I'm the only one. have contacted the correct department as per instructions but apparently not their issue. ...


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! ...

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 ...

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 ...
