where is the walk feature?

I am new to Express Scriber and using it without a pedal. I wonder how I can make it give me a sentence or a string of words and then loop once to repeat half of what was said. I'm really stumped.

I also want to make sure that when I load my audio, it is just a playback and does not change or damage the original at all. Right?

Thanks so much!

When you press the Load button ensure that "Delete file after loading" is unticked. This will make Express Scribe copy the file to its dictation folder and load it there leaving the original intact.

As for looping, it cannot be done automatically, but increase the step size Express Scribe uses when rewinding (in the Playback tab of the Settings window) to something like 4000 (4 seconds). Whenever you press the rewind key quickly it should then jump back 4 seconds and hence repeat the words you are after.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.

Another way to 'loop' as you call it, or rewind on stop/pause, is also in Settings: On the first tab, under "Auto backstep on Stop" you can similarly set ES to automatically back up when you hit F4, by as much as 5 seconds (5000 ms), or anything up to that.

By the way, I've used ES with ONLY the hot keys for about 8 years, and installed it for both handicapped folk can't use footpedals, and others who can but don't, and we all use the hot keys. Have fun!
