mttz5294 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I just downloaded the latest version of Express Scribe (v. 4.15) this morning. While transcribing a report a little while ago, I noticed that I needed to re-set the "auto-backstep on stop" for my footpedal. Unfortunately, no matter how high of a number I put in the auto-backstep box, I found that it did not rewind the voice file at all. It just starts up where the last word left off. I just want it to rewind back to a word or two from where I left off. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 There is an "okay" button on the bottom. After you select the number for the auto backstop setting, try clicking on "okay." Not sure if this is the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I was having this problem too just then, and then realised that you have to put the number up to around 1000 to register any actual rewinding - it's in milliseconds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mttz5294 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I was having this problem too just then, and then realised that you have to put the number up to around 1000 to register any actual rewinding - it's in milliseconds! I finally figured it out yesterday. I found out the ideal place to set it at is 400. It's set at just enough words, around 1-1/2, before the new words are heard. As far as being impressed with the player, it works for me most of the time. The only thing that could be better is that sometimes it makes the doctors sound kind of "tinny-sounding." Thanks, Melody and Shannon, for offering your help. Teri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojogag Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I don't understand which number you're setting on 400?? I just want the tape to rewind a few words when taking my foot off the pedal and can't understand how to do this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truelori Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Are you using bookmarks? If so this feature doesn't work after you set or use bookmarks -- you have to restart the software. No other workarounds are known at this time but I think they are working on it for the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani33 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I don't understand which number you're setting on 400?? I just want the tape to rewind a few words when taking my foot off the pedal and can't understand how to do this?? Go to File, Settings, and see the very last choice under Playback where it says "Auto backstep on stop (0 - 5000ms) and you can choose a number using little arrows. I use 2500 myself, but you may find that's more than you want. It probably backs it up 4-5 words when I take my foot off the pedal. DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
