Using Express Scribe with JAWS
|
dan Kerstetter <dhk55@...>
I'm trying to use Express Scribe, which is transcription software, with
JAWS. The volume controls in Express Scribe will not operate separately from my speech output. Short of buying another sound card, reassigning JAWS to it and trying to have dictation going in one ear and computer speech into my other ear, is there a way to separate the JAWS volume from the dictation volume?

don't know what to tell you, but it sounds like a bug with your transcription player. I currently don't have a way to adjust the volume levels of the dictation software player independently of the volume of JAWS on the system. I do have a separate equalizer with ear buds that are "noise reducing" and the sound quality is a little better, but it's painful when the volume level of the dictation is so low that the only way to hear what's being said is to turn up the volume on the system, which makes JAWS yell at me. I transcribe with the typing echo off, but have to adjust the volume to proofread my work. Different players have different controls. Hopefully, someone with more expertise can help us both out.

Express Scribe works well with Jaws, and you can adjust the volume separately by using the hot keys. Go into Settings, and I think under Playback, you can enable hot keys. Then you can assign the functions in the combo list to various function keys in place of the defaults. E.g., I have volume up as F4, and volume down as F5.

Do you guys mind sharing who you are doing transcription work for? I'm always looking for new contacts.

But, yes, you can set up the volume controls on the hot keys. No problem. -----Original Message-----

I've already assigned hotkeys to the volume controls, but when I raise and

lower the volume, the JAWS volume goes up or down as well. I suppose if I have to I'll type without being able to hear what I'm typing. It will be an interesting experiment, considering I took dictation for 25 years and got used to hearing each word as I typed it. -----Original Message-----

I suspect the separate volume adjustment would work better under Windows 7 and probably 8. In another message, you mentioned that you are using Windows XP. Separate volume adjustment is not usually possible with XP unless the program supports some special type of Direct Sound output such as in Winamp.

One other thing to try that I forgot. If the audio of the file is too low, go to the File Menu and arrow up to Special Audio Processes. Press enter on Extra Audio Boost. Let it run whatever it does to the file. You may want to do it several times depending on the original recording levels. This will bring the audio of the file up, and then Jaws won't blast your ears off. Jean -----Original Message-----

need to boost the volume of JAWS. I use an audigy CS2 for sound. I've enabled the onboard sound . If I can get JAWS assigned to the onboard sound and fine a long cord to use with a set of ear buds along with regular headphones, I'll be fine until I get Windows 7. -----Original Message-----
