Problem
How do I transcribe dictation through Lexacom 3?
Resolution
1 - Loading the Dictation
To load the dictation:
- Double-click on the dictation in the list of dictations, or
- Single-click to select the dictation, and click Load (
)
The list of dictation will automatically minimise to allow you to view your word-processor or clinical system, and will remain greyed-out whilst you have a dictation loaded.
2 - Playing the Dictation
Whilst most sites will use a foot pedal control to control the playback of the dictation, you may wish to have on-screen buttons to control the playback if you have no foot pedal. To show these, click your Menu icon (
) and click Show Playback Controls.
