Any way to set an automatic backup on my foot pedal?

NUMMYTYME

Hello all -

I am new to Express Scribe and just downloaded the full program. I am used to being able to have the dictation back up a nanosecond (or as long as you want to program it) when lifting my foot off of play on my pedal. I only see one area under Options> Playback> where there is something called "auto backstep on stop (ms)" which is set for 0. I've tried changing this setting (and then clicking OK), but it doesn't seem to do anything to the audio playback. I've been working for 25 years with an auto backup so won't know what to do if I can't make this happen. HELP!!!!!!!!! :wacko: Thanks much.

Hello,

You've found the right setting -- just keep in mind that it is in milliseconds (so a setting of 1000 = a backstep of just 1 second). This allows you to have very fine control on the backstep time, but it means if you're putting in low numbers there, it might seem like the setting isn't working because its only backing the audio up by a tiny amount.

If you're still having trouble with it after trying some larger numbers, please know that you can contact our technical support by submitting a ticket through this form: http://www.nch.com.au/support/index.html
