burblespork Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Is there a way to assign the same keyboard shortcut for play and stop? Thus when it's stopped and I hit F8 (for example) it'll play, but when it's playing and I hit F8, it'll stop. (The same way music players have one button for play/pause.) Any help would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krnotley Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Remember the stop hotkey doesn't merely stop, but is also set to back step. While I have only used the hot keys (I started using ExpressScribe ca. 2000, or earlier), many if not most individuals, especially professionals, are using foot pedals. There are other programs with a play/pause/backstep/play toggle, but they have far, far fewer compatibilities with other audio formats than Scribe. And they cost. I can suggest a workaround, which will not be exactly a toggle but use the same key, which is to change a particular function key, let's say F9 for argument's sake, to play, and Ctrl F9, or some other combination of keys with F9, as your stop. I tried doing that, but I was too used to the F9/F4 combo to change to a different pattern. You may have better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
