By: Jessica Paxton, Independent Transcriber<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Jessica<\/a>When I first branched out working for myself in the transcription business, I had no idea where to start; I had been working for a company who provided an editor in-house. For my first client, I began working with MS Word and Windows Media Player. The amount of time it took for just one transcript was painful. I had no way to start and stop my audio, slow it down, speed it up, nothing! It made me nervous about embarking on my business journey. Within a few months, I had new clients contacting me what seemed like daily and I knew that working with MS Word was not going to suffice.<\/p>\n

I began my search for transcription software that would meet my needs. I downloaded probably 6 programs before stumbling upon InqScribe. I requested the 14 day trial<\/a> and began my thorough exploration of the program. I quickly found a few favorite features. The ability to create keyboard shortcuts<\/a> similar to what I had been using with my previous company was great, it allowed me to go quickly as I do not use a foot pedal and rely on my quick shortcuts. I also really like the feature of creating snippets<\/a> for my speaker names; it cuts down so much time when I can hit 1 key to put my speakers in without having to type them out. It saves me both time and keystrokes.<\/p>\n

I work with a lot of PhD candidates and professors all across the country, and I couldn\u2019t envision working as much as I do with any other program.  The turnaround requirements for my clients varies from a couple days to a couple of weeks, and prior to InqScribe, I was lucky to be finishing a file every couple of days; now I can sometimes get 3 full 2 hour audio pieces done a day, thanks to InqScribe’s custom shortcuts and snippets.<\/p>\n
