Recorder configuration tips:
- If your hand control device is not recognized in the QS Recorder Hand Control Training, select “System Settings” and change Hand Control Comm Port from “USB Autodetect” to the appropriate hand control device you are using.
- Create a folder on a shared network drive and name it QSFILES, then create subfolders with names of your transcriptionists (e.g., “S:\QSFILES\TYPISTS\SALLY”, “S:\QSFILES\TYPISTS\JOE”, “S:\QSFILES\TYPISTS\BETTY”). This is for sending files over your network - you need to do this step only once. When you send a file, you will have the option to add/modify your destinations.
- Also, create a subfolder called Management under QSFILES (such as S:\QSFILES\Management). Then in the QS Recorder Settings, under File Management, enter the Management Folder path for each QS Recorder. This allows the QS Player to update the management statistics for all files that are in process.
