The Volume Indicator, on the right side of the Quikscribe Recorder interface, shows the record and playback audio levels.  The blue bars on the volume meter will go up and down as you record.  For strong recording volume the blue bars should rise near the top of the indicator when your voice is loudest.  If the blue bars consistently stay near the bottom of the indicator, you may need to adjust your recording volume.

Quikscribe Recorder has the ability to define priority settings.  The desired turnaround times may be specified for organization or each author.  The Send To panel in QS Recorder has a drop-down list to select the desired turnaround time.  Quikscribe Recorder provides the ability to easily customize the priority list. 

To customize your turnaround time do the following:

•  Click the Send Audio File icon.
•  Select Priorities at the top left of the panel.
•  Select Edit Priorities.  The Send Priorities panel will display. 
•  To delete a time select it and click Delete.

•  From the pull down box select Minutes, Hours, or Days. 
•  Enter the number of Minutes, Hours, or Days. 
•  Click Save.
•  Repeat for additional turnaround preferences.

You may remove all times before adding your preference by clicking Clear All.  In addition, you may return to the Quikscribe installation settings, by clicking Set Default.  The up and down arrows (one above the other) allow you to move rapidly among entries.

Quikscribe Manager, a Quikscribe management application, allows priorities to be easily defined for an entire organization.

Quikscribe Recorder records in three modes:  Overwrite, Insert and Append.  In Overwrite mode dictation will overwrite existing content from the current position in the recording.  In Insert mode recording will be inserted between existing content.  In Append mode recording will always be appended to the end of the audio file, no matter where the position for recording is located.  In Append mode if you rewind and review the existing recording, then start dictating, the position pointer will move to the end of the existing file and commence recording at that point

There are three ways to change recording modes.  You must start a dictation to move among recording modes.
�  Press the Insert key on your keyboard, which will move the recording modes through Overwrite, Insert, and Append.
�  Select Edit from the top menu and then select Overwrite, Insert, or Append Mode.
�  Set a button on your Hand Control to be Recording Mode.  Then press the button on the Hand Control to move through the modes.  Select Help > Hand Control Training to set a button on your hand control.

The status bar at the bottom of the Quikscribe Recorder will update and display the current recording mode.  In addition, the indicator in the top left corner will display the 1st letter of the recording mode:  O for Overwrite, I for insert, or A for Append. 
The default recording mode is generally Overwrite.  You may change the default Recording Mode.  Go to Setting > Record Controls > Record Mode Options to change the default recording mode.

The Undo Dictation and Redo Dictation functions are designed to save time.  The undo and redo functions are available as icons on the main Quikscribe interface, from the Edit menu, or may be assigned to buttons on your hand control.
For each time you record, and then stop recording, Quikscribe considers this passage as an “audio edit”.  You may undo each audio edit, as Quikscribe recognizes the section from the last “stop recording” to the previous “start recording”.  Redo provides the opposite function and recalls previously recorded sections. So if you made a mistake and selected UNDO to wipe out dictation, but then changed your mind, you could instantly recall the ‘wiped out’ passage by selecting REDO.  Below is an image of the UNDO and REDO icons.
To practice undo and redo, do the following:
•  Create a New Audio File.
•  RECORD “One Two Three”.
•  Click or slide to STOP.
•  RECORD “Four Five” then STOP.
•  Click or slide to STOP.
•  Click the UNDO icon.
•  REWIND to the beginning of the audio file.
•  PLAY the audio file.
•  You should hear “One Two Three”.
•  Click the REDO icon.
•  REWIND to the beginning of the audio file.
•  PLAY the audio file.
•  You should hear “One Two Three Four Five”.

You may assign the Undo and Redo functions to buttons on the Hand Control, allowing you to quickly record and edit in real time.  Use the Hand Control Training to program the Undo or Redo functions to the desired button on your hand control microphone.  Go to Help, then Hand Control Training to set functions for the hand control buttons. 

UNDO and REDO are also available in the EDIT menu.

Category:Dictation -> Quikscribe Recorder -> Examples

Quikscribe can insert referenced material such as text, images, graphics, Internet links, screen captures, etc. directly into the dictated file. The insertions are made available to the typist and eliminate the need for the insertions to be retyped or reconstructed.  To do so the Quikscribe Recorder creates and inserts marker files.  The main advantage of marker insertions is to save time. Rather than dictate text from other documents or web sites or rather than direct the typist with sources for text, the text can be copied and pasted.

To demonstrate:

�  Open Quikscribe Recorder.
�  Create a New Audio File by clicking on the Create New File icon.
�  Record �A B C D E�.
�  Open an existing Text or Word document and select some text within the document with your mouse or with keyboard keys.
�  Press CTRL C.
�  Now press CTRL 7.  This is the default Hotkey for the Quikscribe Recorder to paste a marker. As a result, a Marker File containing the contents of the text you selected will be created within your audio file.
�  View the Markers panel to see the Marker that has been added.  You may view the Markers panel by clicking the arrowhead below the volume indicator. 
�  Click the Marker to select it.  To view the Marker, double-click it or select Markers from the top menu and select View Selected Marker.

When you click on a file shown in the audio folders *, the file details will display for each file.  You will also hear an audio preview if the little yellow speaker near the Browse button is enabled.  The audio preview will help you identify a file.  To disable audio preview, click on the little yellow speaker.  A red circle with a slash covers the yellow speaker when audio preview is disabled. 

* The audio folders may be viewed by clicking the Open Audio File Icon or by selecting File and then Open Audio.
