Hi everyone, I'm currently using Express Scribe for my transcription work, but I’ve noticed some delay when rewinding audio. Is there a setting I can tweak to fix this, or is there a better alternative software I should consider?

Hi! I’ve run into that issue too with Express Scribe. A few quick tips: • Try lowering the rewind speed under Options > Playback — that usually helps. • Stick to MP3 or WAV files; other formats can cause lag. • Make sure you’re using the latest version or try reinstalling. • If you're using a foot pedal, check that the drivers are up to date. If it keeps happening, you might want to try oTranscribe (free) or FTW Transcriber—both are smoother for some users. Hope that helps!
