3 Get started

3.1Start the program

To manually start the program, open the Windows start menu in Windows and select Programs

>SpeechExec (Pro) Transcribe. If the option to start the program automatically was selected in the settings menu, start the program by clicking the icon in the notification area of the Windows task bar.

3.2Create a user profile

When using SpeechExec for the first time, a wizard guides you through the step-by-step configuration process to create a new user profile and configure your initial key settings.

Follow the on-screen instructions to:

•Specify a user name. The user name identifies the user who last worked on the dictation.

•Set the destination folder on the PC for Pending dictations. Pending dictations will be listed in the To Do folder in the worklist. The

To Do folder organizes all your input folders into one simulated ‘overview’ folder.

•Configure settings for the ‘new dictation’ notification in your To Do folder.

E Tip: If working in a network, select the folder on a mapped network drive where the author’s finished dictations are stored. These will be your pending dictations.

D Note: It is possible to change these settings later using the Settings menu. See Settings menu on page 18 for more information.
