5.2Finish, suspend or cancel a transcription

To mark a transcription as finished, click the FINISH button in the player window. The dictation file is moved to the Finished dictations folder (SpeechExec Transcribe) or to the Archive folder (SpeechExec Pro Transcribe).

Alternatively, a dictation can be marked as suspended by clicking the SUSPEND button in the player window. Mark a dictation as suspended to interrupt transcribing temporarily and continue later. The recording is saved in the Suspended folder.

Clicking the CLOSE button cancels the transcription without saving changes.

5.3Instructions

Instructions are recorded comments by the author that are directed to the person transcribing the dictation. SpeechExec supports two types of instructions:

Spoken instructions are stored within the dictation sound file at the position where the instruction was actually recorded. (Examples of spoken instructions might include the correct spelling of a name or technical term, or instructions to insert a new paragraph.)

Special instructions are usually recorded at the start of a dictation with special information relating to the dictation. Special instructions are stored in a separate sound file. (Examples of special instructions might include document formatting instructions, names of individuals to receive copies, or delivery instructions.)
