punstress 0 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I just started using Express Scribe to transcribe some digital interviews. I like the idea of "play (with pausing)" because it plays in chunks, then stops, backs up a little, and keeps going, all without requiring me to do any commands. I just would like to be able to customize how big of a chunk, at what speed, and how much it pauses and how far it backs up. So yeah pretty much everything. I only type about 65-70 wpm and I guess this was designed for a faster typist. I submitted it as a feature request, but is there already a way to do it? Link to post Share on other sites
Congogirl 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have exactly the same problem. Did you find an answer to customize the pause time when using the F12 funditon key? Link to post Share on other sites
lite426 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I agree, being given control of the play with pausing function would be a very useful feature to have added. Link to post Share on other sites
tolgaislam 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I totally agree... it would be great if we can configure the play time (i.e. change it to 4 sec from 5 sec) and also the playing speed (currently you have to use the normal speed with play with pausing option)...

Yes, this would be a VERY good feature! Its very useful to be able to pause and have the software backup the recording a second or two. The free transcription software called "F4" has this ability (they call it "spooling interval"), and also the ability to automatically insert time stamps and line numbers. The problem with that software is that it is a big file, runs in JAVA and does not run natively in Linux or in WINE. Express Scribe is better and would be MUCH better if it included this simple feature that allows configuring the amount of backup. I hope the developers read this and release a new version quickly!

ni6hant 0 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Gotranscription.com has an awesome feature which allows it to stop while typing, I wish something like that existed in any software Link to post Share on other sites
