Hi. I don't know if 'hand controls' even exist. I would think it would be very awkward and time consuming to use. The platform my company uses has F keys to start, stop, forward, etc. You might find yours does, if you ask tech support or your supervisor.
There is a "hand control" pedal that fits underneath - sm

Yes I use the phillips usb hand control because I am disabled and cannot use my feet at all. I am wheelchair bound. I love it, it works great for me. But some platforms may not recogize it. I currently use it with Express Scribe.

Hi Everyone,

I am writing you all due to a blog I read about a person wanting more information for her friend with spina bifida. I know with having a foot injury from the military I will be have a hard time using the foot pedal myself. TranscriptionGear has a software program that will allow me to program hot keys an ...

I'm using M*Modal platform for the first time. The biggest time waster is that only about 1% of the dictators enter demographics. In the RIF screen to search demographics you cannot play the audio, only in the report itself. Each time I have to exit the report I lose all settings for audio and zoom level and have to reset. Does anyone know if there is a way to have both the report and the RIF screen visible at the same time?Anyway to set the point size for the displa ...

Is this correct? right-hand-dominant male

I work at a hospital that will shortly transition over to Health Management Associates. I have seen on their website they outsource all transcription work to Transcend. Right now all transcriptionists will be staying put but probably the first of year that will not be the case - can someone tell me anything about this company? Line rate, ease of making good counts, etc. Thanks. ...

Here's the text: Examination of the right hand reveals a long jagged laceration extending from the palmar surface into the web space. It is roughly 4.5 cm in length. It is full thickness and when the fingers are spread apart, the volar surface of the 1st phalange can be visualized through the wound. Volar? I'm not sure if that's what I'm hearing...it sounds like it starts with a b, like bowler or buller. I know what volar is, but does it fi ...

I have worked in orthopedics and there is a possible opportunity for a hand surgeon. Where can I find references or just common terminology for surgical notes that focus on the hands. I have stedman's references for surgery and orthopedics, but I was hoping there was some kind of guide for transcriptionist of hand surgeons. I know there are so many references out there, but whenever I google I am getting such a broad spectrum and nothing that seems to really be w ...

I am a new MT and have only been working a couple of weeks but loving it! I was just wondering if any of you seasoned MTs out there remembered having hand and wrist pain when you first started? With the increased amount of typing that I have been doing all day long every day, I find that my hands and wrists hurt when I am doing other things. I am not talking about being sore, which I expected until I get use to all the typing, but actual stabs of pain when I move them certain w ...
I am in college right now for transcription, and am just getting in to using the SUM program... I start summer semester on Monday and am disabled with no use of my legs, I use the Phillips USB hand control in place of a foot pedal. Well SUM doesn't work with it... I tried downloading the audio files to my computer and then importing them in to Express Scribe, which DOES work with my hand control, and I guess the permissions on the files won't allow ES to open the files.
Is there A ...

Has anyone else noticed extreme pain pop up since SR became the norm? I used to get tired fingers, but nothing like has come on the last few years. I'm on the verge of surgery from tennis elbow on both sides, CT on both sides, can't move my hands for a half hour after I wake up in the morning, etc.
All the years of typing didn't bring this on, but 3 years of SR has. Seems obvious to me! ...
