When you're working on a transcript, you may find that you want to set the playback speed of the recording to go a bit faster or a bit slower. Express Scribe offers an option for you to edit how fast or slow a media file can be played back.

Let's take a look at the guide below to see how we can make these changes in Express Scribe.

Go to "Options"...

Select "Playback"...


Change the "Default slow playback speed" to your desired percentage


Change the "Default fast playback speed" to your desired percentage


You can also change the "Auto backstep on stop" setting to something like 1,000 ms

This will skip back the assigned amount to enforce continuity when stopping audio

To review which keys are set to toggle fast/slow playback, check the "Hotkeys" tab

Click "OK" once you are finished with your setup
